Nebraska vs Wyoming on USAspending: $1.2B vs $598.9M

Two hot ratios, a services file against a construction file

Nebraska versus Wyoming is not a cool-versus-hot pair. Both per-capita readings are high relative to several states in this slice: $175.68 and $126.96. Nebraska still leads stacked dollars ($1.2B vs $598.9M), awards (36,000 vs 9,330), and FY2026 ($352.3M vs $74.6M). Cite USAspending.gov.

Mix splits the hot-ratio pair. Other computer related services lead Nebraska. Commercial and institutional building construction leads Wyoming. A services peak on 36,000 awards and a construction peak on 9,330 awards are different first reads.

FY2026 of $352.3M versus $74.6M is a recency cliff. Treat both amounts as obligation slices. Outlays are omitted. Census counts of 2,005,465 versus 587,618 belong with those ratios on USAspending.gov obligations. Row count is not average award size. Keep both per-capita readings labeled as packet figures.

Other computer related services versus building construction

Those NAICS peaks sit on $1.2B and $598.9M. Use the Nebraska and Wyoming state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not listed.

Wyoming’s 9,330 awards on a $126.96 ratio are a thinner, still-intense construction log. Nebraska’s 36,000 awards on $175.68 are the thicker services log. High ratio is not matched volume.

FY2026: $352.3M versus $74.6M

Fiscal year 2026 obligations are $352.3M in Nebraska and $74.6M in Wyoming. Recency follows Nebraska’s services-led file; Wyoming’s high construction ratio 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 $74.6M by 36,000 or 9,330 all-years awards. Spending per capita of $175.68 and $126.96 already sits beside Census counts of 2,005,465 and 587,618. Cite USAspending.gov for both the stacked stocks ($1.2B vs $598.9M) and the latest-year amounts.

Wyoming’s $126.96 does not catch Nebraska’s stock

Wyoming’s $126.96 on 587,618 residents is a hot small-Census reading. It still sits on $598.9M against Nebraska’s $1.2B. Intensity is not a substitute for the stacked total. The $74.6M FY2026 slice stays well below $352.3M.

Keep every dollar figure labeled as a USAspending.gov obligation. Cite USAspending.gov. Read two hot ratios as a shared theme, not as matched files.

How to read Nebraska versus Wyoming

Read the comparison hub for the tables and the Nebraska and Wyoming hubs for agencies and recipients. Stacked stocks are $1.2B versus $598.9M. FY2026 obligations are $352.3M versus $74.6M. Awards are 36,000 versus 9,330. Population is 2,005,465 versus 587,618. Spending per capita is $175.68 versus $126.96. Lead industries are other computer related services versus commercial and institutional building construction. 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 Wyoming pairs two relatively high per-capita readings ($175.68 vs $126.96) with unmatched stocks: services on $1.2B against construction on $598.9M. 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. Wyoming's packet cuts are $598.9M stacked, $74.6M in FY2026, 9,330 awards, 587,618 residents, and $126.96 per capita, with commercial and institutional building construction 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 9,330. Use the comparison hub for the tables. The Nebraska and Wyoming state hubs hold agencies and recipients. Cite USAspending.gov. Keep $175.68 and $126.96 labeled as Census-based obligation ratios. Keep $1.2B and $598.9M labeled as stacked obligation stocks, not as FY2026 cash and not as outlays. Recency slices of $352.3M and $74.6M remain obligation cuts for fiscal year 2026. Population figures are Census counts. other computer related services and commercial and institutional building construction remain mix labels, not proofs of a typical award and not substitutes for the stacked ranking of $1.2B versus $598.9M. FY2026 amounts of $352.3M and $74.6M should not be divided by all-years award counts of 36,000 and 9,330. Cite USAspending.gov for the stacked stocks, the latest-year slice, and the Census-based ratios. Keep 36,000 and 9,330 labeled as all-years award totals rather than as FY2026 denominators. Outlays remain unpublished.
