Missouri vs New York on USAspending: $10.4B vs $11.9B

New York’s $11.9B edges Missouri’s $10.4B

These figures are USAspending.gov obligations, not Treasury outlays. New York’s $11.9B is about 1.1 times Missouri’s $10.4B. The comparison scores place of performance in the award file. New York holds the larger all-years total, but the gap is modest next to the gap in population and the gap in intensity.

Award counts favor New York. New York has 705,506 awards; Missouri has 300,867. New York’s file is busier in rows on a dollar stock that is only modestly larger. Missouri’s $10.4B on 300,867 actions implies a heavier typical booking than New York’s $11.9B spread across 705,506 records.

Missouri’s $262.46 versus New York’s $70.36

New York’s 19,867,248 residents more than triple Missouri’s 6,245,466. After dividing the obligation stocks by those Census counts, Missouri shows $262.46 per capita and New York shows $70.36. Intensity runs the opposite direction from the $10.4B versus $11.9B ranking. Missouri is about 3.7 times as intensive per resident.

A $70.36 per-person reading in New York on 19,867,248 residents means a huge private economy can coexist with a thinner federal-award intensity than Missouri shows at $262.46. This table scores USAspending place of performance, not GDP. New York’s larger Census count produces only a modestly larger stock.

Aircraft in Missouri, communications equipment in New York

Missouri’s top industry is aircraft manufacturing. New York’s is other communications equipment manufacturing. Those labels mark the largest NAICS slice in each state’s file, not a full industrial census. Aircraft awards and equipment-manufacturing awards are different lead products sitting on $10.4B and $11.9B.

An aircraft-manufacturing lead can concentrate large production awards inside Missouri’s 300,867-award file. A communications-equipment lead can concentrate hardware production inside New York’s 705,506-award file. Mix and scale both differ. Neither industry name explains every dollar.

FY2026: Missouri’s $1.6B edges New York’s $1.4B

FY2026 obligations are $1.6B in Missouri and $1.4B in New York. The latest year reverses the stacked ranking. Missouri’s $1.6B is a sizable slice of its $10.4B stock; New York’s $1.4B is a smaller slice of $11.9B. Recency questions belong in FY2026. The all-years totals remain the comparison’s headline stock.

Do not divide those FY figures by Missouri’s 300,867 or New York’s 705,506 all-years awards. Those row counts cover the stacked file, not a single fiscal year. Both cuts are USAspending.gov obligations. Outlays can lag award dates, so a $1.6B versus $1.4B latest-year reading is a commitment scoreboard, not a cash-flow statement.

Close stocks, inverted intensity and recency

New York leads stacked dollars ($11.9B vs $10.4B), award count (705,506 vs 300,867), and population (19,867,248 vs 6,245,466). Missouri leads per capita ($262.46 vs $70.36) and FY2026 ($1.6B vs $1.4B). Those splits are why Missouri versus New York cannot be reduced to a modest $1.5B stock gap.

Aircraft manufacturing versus other communications equipment manufacturing is mix inside files that contain many other industries. Use the Missouri and New York hubs for agencies and recipients. Keep $10.4B and $11.9B labeled as obligations.

How to use the Missouri and New York hubs

New York’s $11.9B on 19,867,248 residents versus Missouri’s $10.4B on 6,245,466 residents is a close-stock pair with inverted intensity and recency. Per capita of $70.36 versus $262.46 and FY2026 of $1.4B versus $1.6B both favor Missouri. Open the Missouri hub and the New York hub for agencies and recipients. Aircraft manufacturing versus other communications equipment manufacturing is mix on 300,867 and 705,506 awards.

These are USAspending.gov obligations, not Treasury outlays. Do not divide latest-year dollars by all-years award counts. Place of performance can differ from the paying agency’s location. Use the hubs when the next question is who received the awards. Keep $10.4B and $11.9B labeled as obligations so a modest stock gap is not mistaken for similar intensity or similar recency.

Missouri versus New York is a close stock of $10.4B versus $11.9B with inverted intensity and recency. Aircraft manufacturing and other communications equipment manufacturing sit on 300,867 and 705,506 awards. FY2026 of $1.6B versus $1.4B favors Missouri. Per capita of $262.46 versus $70.36 on 6,245,466 and 19,867,248 residents is the intensity inversion. Obligations are not outlays. The Missouri and New York hubs hold agencies and recipients. New York’s $11.9B lead over Missouri’s $10.4B is thin next to 19,867,248 versus 6,245,466 residents. FY2026’s $1.4B versus $1.6B and per capita of $70.36 versus $262.46 both favor Missouri. Obligations remain the unit.

What industries lead Missouri and New York federal awards?

Missouri’s top industry is aircraft manufacturing. New York’s is other communications equipment manufacturing. Those slices sit on $10.4B and $11.9B in obligations.

Are Missouri vs New York figures Treasury outlays?

No. SpendingVault uses USAspending.gov obligations. Outlays are cash payments and can lag. The $10.4B and $11.9B stacked totals and FY2026 amounts of $1.6B and $1.4B measure award commitments by place of performance, not Monthly Treasury Statement payments. Place of performance can differ from where the paying agency sits.
