Kansas’s stock, Oregon’s latest year

Kansas’s $2.91B is the larger all-years stock. Oregon’s $2.67B sits on 4,272,371 residents against 2,970,606. Spending per capita still favors Kansas, $67.40 versus $56.06. The Pacific Census count does not produce the larger stacked file.

Award counts favor Kansas, 71,423 versus 36,965. Kansas’s file is busier in rows and larger in stock. Oregon’s 36,965 actions sit on $2.67B.

FY2026 is Oregon’s recency win: $239.5M versus $200.2M. Cite USAspending.gov for both the stacked stocks and the latest-year amounts.

Kansas’s $2.91B stacked lead and Oregon’s $239.5M versus $200.2M FY2026 lead are the same USAspending.gov obligation series, sliced two ways. Computer systems design services versus support activities for forestry is mix on $2.91B and $2.67B.

Kansas files 71,423 awards against Oregon’s 36,965. Spending per capita of $67.40 versus $56.06 uses Census counts of 2,970,606 and 4,272,371. Outlays are not in the packet. The comparison hub holds the tables.

Systems design versus forestry support

Kansas’s lead NAICS is computer systems design services. Oregon’s lead NAICS is support activities for forestry. Those peaks sit on $2.91B and $2.67B. Systems design is a first read on Kansas’s mix; forestry support is a first read on Oregon’s mix.

The 71,423 Kansas awards and 36,965 Oregon awards include many actions outside those labels. Use the Kansas and Oregon state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes.

FY2026: $200.2M versus $239.5M

Fiscal year 2026 obligations are $200.2M in Kansas and $239.5M in Oregon. Recency does not preserve Kansas’s stacked dollar lead. Treat the year as a recency slice of obligations, not as Treasury cash.

Do not divide $200.2M or $239.5M by 71,423 or 36,965 all-years awards. Spending per capita of $67.40 and $56.06 already sits beside Census counts of 2,970,606 and 4,272,371.

Kansas stock, Oregon recency, forestry versus systems design

Kansas leads $2.91B to Oregon’s $2.67B on the stacked stock. Oregon leads FY2026 $239.5M to $200.2M. Both cuts are USAspending.gov obligations. Recency is not cash and not a full rewrite of the all-years ranking.

Kansas files 71,423 awards against Oregon’s 36,965 and posts $67.40 per capita on 2,970,606 residents against Oregon’s $56.06 on 4,272,371. Computer systems design services lead Kansas. Support activities for forestry lead Oregon.

Outlays are not in the packet. Do not divide FY2026 amounts by all-years award counts. Cite USAspending.gov for the dollar figures.

Pacific headcount, Plains intensity

Oregon’s 4,272,371 residents exceed Kansas’s 2,970,606. Kansas still posts the higher per-capita reading and the larger stacked stock. Headcount does not set the USAspending.gov ranking here.

The comparison hub holds the tables. The Kansas and Oregon hubs hold agencies and recipients. Keep $67.40 and $56.06 labeled as Census-based obligation ratios.

How to read Kansas versus Oregon

Read Kansas first on stacked dollars ($2.91B vs $2.67B), awards (71,423 vs 36,965), and spending per capita ($67.40 vs $56.06). Read Oregon first on population (4,272,371 vs 2,970,606) and FY2026 ($239.5M vs $200.2M). Note computer systems design versus forestry support.

The comparison hub holds the tables. The Kansas and Oregon hubs hold agencies and recipients. Outlays are a different series. Keep per-capita figures labeled as Census-based packet figures on USAspending.gov obligations.

Kansas’s $2.91B stacked lead and Oregon’s $239.5M FY2026 lead can be cited together. They are one obligation series. Census counts of 2,970,606 and 4,272,371 already sit beside $67.40 and $56.06. Outlays are not listed.
