Nebraska vs South Dakota on USAspending: $1.2B vs $1.0B

Computer services versus computer manufacturing across a state line

Nebraska and South Dakota both post a computer-related lead NAICS, and they are not the same label. Other computer related services lead Nebraska’s $1.2B file. Electronic computer manufacturing leads South Dakota’s $1.0B file. Services versus manufacturing is mix, including for neighbors. Cite USAspending.gov.

Award volume makes the split visible in rows: 36,000 in Nebraska versus 8,274 in South Dakota. The manufacturing peak sits on the thinner log. The services peak sits on the thicker log, the $175.68 ratio, and the $352.3M FY2026 slice. Row count is not average award size.

Population of 2,005,465 versus 924,669 is a real Census gap. Intensity of $175.68 versus $79.92 runs with Nebraska. FY2026 of $352.3M versus $73.9M agrees. Neighboring does not mean matched.

Other computer related services versus electronic computer manufacturing

Those NAICS peaks sit on $1.2B and $1.0B. They are first reads, not the entire mix. Use the Nebraska and South Dakota state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not listed.

South Dakota’s 8,274 awards include many actions outside electronic computer manufacturing. Nebraska’s 36,000 awards extend beyond other computer related services. Do not collapse the two labels into one computer ranking.

FY2026: $352.3M versus $73.9M

Fiscal year 2026 obligations are $352.3M in Nebraska and $73.9M in South Dakota. Recency follows Nebraska’s services-led file; South Dakota’s manufacturing peak 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 $73.9M by 36,000 or 8,274 all-years awards. Spending per capita of $175.68 and $79.92 already sits beside Census counts of 2,005,465 and 924,669. Cite USAspending.gov for both the stacked stocks ($1.2B vs $1.0B) and the latest-year amounts.

A thinner manufacturing log on the South Dakota side

Electronic computer manufacturing on 8,274 awards is a concentrated action log next to Nebraska’s 36,000-row services file. The $79.92 per-capita reading stays cooler than $175.68. The $73.9M FY2026 slice stays thinner than $352.3M.

Keep every dollar figure labeled as a USAspending.gov obligation. Cite USAspending.gov. Neighbor status does not merge the files.

Awards are 36,000 versus 8,274. Population is 2,005,465 versus 924,669. Spending per capita is $175.68 versus $79.92. Lead industries are other computer related services versus electronic computer manufacturing. Outlays are a different series. Cite USAspending.gov. Keep every dollar figure labeled as an obligation.

Obligations, outlays, and the packet's cuts

Nebraska versus South Dakota is a neighbors pair that splits computer-related mix: services on a $1.2B file against manufacturing on a $1.0B file, with unmatched intensity and recency. Nebraska's packet cuts are $1.2B stacked, $352.3M in FY2026, 36,000 awards, 2,005,465 residents, and $175.68 per capita, with other computer related services as the lead NAICS. South Dakota's packet cuts are $1.0B stacked, $73.9M in FY2026, 8,274 awards, 924,669 residents, and $79.92 per capita, with electronic computer manufacturing as the lead NAICS. An obligation is a commitment recorded in USAspending.gov. An outlay is cash paid later and is not in this packet. Do not invent average award size from 36,000 or 8,274. Use the comparison hub for the tables. The Nebraska and South Dakota state hubs hold agencies and recipients. Cite USAspending.gov. Keep $175.68 and $79.92 labeled as Census-based obligation ratios. Keep $1.2B and $1.0B labeled as stacked obligation stocks, not as FY2026 cash and not as outlays. Recency slices of $352.3M and $73.9M remain obligation cuts for fiscal year 2026. Population figures are Census counts. other computer related services and electronic computer manufacturing remain mix labels, not proofs of a typical award and not substitutes for the stacked ranking of $1.2B versus $1.0B. FY2026 amounts of $352.3M and $73.9M should not be divided by all-years award counts of 36,000 and 8,274. Cite USAspending.gov for the stacked stocks, the latest-year slice, and the Census-based ratios. Keep 36,000 and 8,274 labeled as all-years award totals rather than as FY2026 denominators. Outlays remain unpublished.
