Nebraska vs Rhode Island on USAspending: $1.2B vs $880.6M

A services-led Plains file against a confectionery-led $880.6M stock

Nebraska’s other computer related services peak sits on $1.2B, 36,000 awards, $175.68 per capita, and $352.3M in FY2026. Rhode Island’s nonchocolate confectionery manufacturing peak sits on $880.6M, 11,923 awards, $71.48 per capita, and $79.5M. Those are different mixes and different intensities. Cite USAspending.gov.

Population of 2,005,465 versus 1,112,308 is a real Census gap and does not fully explain a more-than-doubled per-capita reading. Nebraska’s $175.68 versus Rhode Island’s $71.48 is the intensity split. Award volume of 36,000 versus 11,923 follows the thicker log.

FY2026 of $352.3M versus $79.5M is a recency cliff. Treat both amounts as obligation slices, not Treasury cash. Outlays are omitted. Row count is not average award size. Do not invent a mean from 36,000 or 11,923. Census counts of 2,005,465 versus 1,112,308 belong with the ratios.

Other computer related services versus nonchocolate confectionery

A services peak and a confectionery peak should not be collapsed into a generic private-sector ranking. They are first reads on $1.2B and $880.6M. Use the Nebraska and Rhode Island state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not listed.

Rhode Island’s 11,923 awards include many actions outside confectionery. Nebraska’s 36,000 awards extend beyond computer related services. Mix labels are not the whole file.

FY2026: $352.3M versus $79.5M

Fiscal year 2026 obligations are $352.3M in Nebraska and $79.5M in Rhode Island. Recency follows Nebraska’s services-led file; confectionery does not close FY2026. Treat the year as a recency slice of USAspending.gov obligations, not as Treasury cash already paid.

Do not divide $352.3M or $79.5M by 36,000 or 11,923 all-years awards. Spending per capita of $175.68 and $71.48 already sits beside Census counts of 2,005,465 and 1,112,308. Cite USAspending.gov for both the stacked stocks ($1.2B vs $880.6M) and the latest-year amounts.

Confectionery dollars on a cooler Rhode Island ratio

Rhode Island’s $71.48 per capita on 1,112,308 residents is cooler than Nebraska’s $175.68. The confectionery peak sits on that cooler reading and on the $880.6M stock. The $79.5M FY2026 slice is the recency cut.

Nebraska’s services-led $1.2B file remains larger on stacked dollars, intensity, awards, and FY2026. Cite USAspending.gov. Keep every dollar figure labeled as an obligation.

Population figures are Census counts. other computer related services and nonchocolate confectionery manufacturing remain mix labels, not proofs of a typical award and not substitutes for the stacked ranking of $1.2B versus $880.6M. FY2026 amounts of $352.3M and $79.5M should not be divided by all-years award counts of 36,000 and 11,923.
