Kansas vs Nevada on USAspending: $2.91B vs $2.86B

A near-tie stock, a wide FY2026 gap

Kansas’s $2.91B and Nevada’s $2.86B sit in the same band. FY2026 does not: $200.2M versus $561.5M. Recency favors Nevada on a slightly smaller all-years stock. Cite USAspending.gov for both cuts.

Census counts are 2,970,606 in Kansas and 3,267,467 in Nevada. Spending per capita still favors Nevada, $171.84 versus $67.40. The extra people in Nevada do not dilute the ratio below Kansas’s.

Award counts favor Kansas, 71,423 versus 45,442. Kansas’s file is busier in rows on a slightly larger stock. Nevada’s 45,442 actions sit on $2.86B beside the $171.84 reading.

Kansas’s slim stacked lead of $2.91B versus $2.86B and Nevada’s FY2026 lead of $561.5M versus $200.2M belong in the same paragraph. They are one USAspending.gov obligation series, sliced. Outlays are not in the packet.

Nevada’s $171.84 per capita on 3,267,467 residents exceeds Kansas’s $67.40 on 2,970,606. Kansas’s 71,423 awards exceed Nevada’s 45,442. Computer systems design services versus automobile manufacturing is mix. Cite USAspending.gov.

Computer systems design versus automobile manufacturing

Kansas’s lead NAICS is computer systems design services. Nevada’s lead NAICS is automobile manufacturing. Those peaks sit on $2.91B and $2.86B. Systems design is a first read on Kansas’s mix; auto manufacturing is a first read on Nevada’s mix.

The 71,423 Kansas awards and 45,442 Nevada awards include many actions outside those labels. Use the Kansas and Nevada state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes.

FY2026: $200.2M in Kansas, $561.5M in Nevada

Fiscal year 2026 obligations are $200.2M in Kansas and $561.5M in Nevada. Recency does not preserve Kansas’s slim stacked dollar lead. Treat the year as a recency slice of obligations, not as Treasury cash.

Do not divide $200.2M or $561.5M by 71,423 or 45,442 all-years awards. Spending per capita of $67.40 and $171.84 already sits beside Census counts of 2,970,606 and 3,267,467.

More people in Nevada, a hotter ratio

Nevada’s 3,267,467 residents exceed Kansas’s 2,970,606. Nevada still posts $171.84 per capita against $67.40. Kansas’s wins are the slim stacked lead ($2.91B vs $2.86B) and awards (71,423 vs 45,442). FY2026 of $561.5M versus $200.2M is Nevada’s recency win.

Keep those per-capita figures labeled as Census-based packet figures on USAspending.gov obligations. They are not outlays per resident.

A near-tie stock with a Nevada recency spike

Kansas’s $2.91B and Nevada’s $2.86B sit in the same band. FY2026 does not: $200.2M versus $561.5M. Both cuts are USAspending.gov obligations. Recency is a slice, not cash and not a full rewrite of the stacked ranking.

Nevada’s $171.84 per capita on 3,267,467 residents exceeds Kansas’s $67.40 on 2,970,606. Kansas still files more awards, 71,423 versus 45,442. Computer systems design services lead Kansas. Automobile manufacturing leads Nevada.

An obligation is a commitment. Outlays can lag. Cite USAspending.gov for the dollar figures. Keep per-capita labeled as Census-based obligation ratios.

Peak NAICS describes mix on $2.91B and $2.86B. It does not create a second total. Award counts of 71,423 and 45,442 remain row totals.

The comparison hub holds the tables. The Kansas and Nevada hubs hold agencies and recipients. FY2026 of $200.2M and $561.5M stays inside the obligation series.
