Nevada vs Oregon on USAspending: $2.86B vs $2.67B

West Coast neighbors, different intensity maps

Oregon’s 4,272,371 residents exceed Nevada’s 3,267,467. Nevada still holds the larger obligation stock: $2.86B versus $2.67B. Intensity follows: $171.84 per capita versus $56.06. The extra Pacific Census count does not produce the larger USAspending.gov file.

Award volume also favors Nevada, 45,442 versus 36,965. Nevada’s file is busier in rows and larger in stock. Oregon’s 36,965 actions sit on $2.67B.

FY2026 widens Nevada’s dollar lead on recency: $561.5M versus $239.5M. Cite USAspending.gov for the stacked stocks and the latest-year amounts.

Nevada leads $2.86B to $2.67B, 45,442 awards to 36,965, $171.84 per capita to $56.06, and $561.5M to $239.5M in FY2026. Oregon leads only the Census count: 4,272,371 versus 3,267,467. Those dollar cuts are USAspending.gov obligations.

Automobile manufacturing versus support activities for forestry is mix. Outlays are not in the packet. Cite USAspending.gov. The comparison hub holds the tables. The Nevada and Oregon hubs hold agencies and recipients.

Automobile manufacturing versus forestry support

Nevada’s lead NAICS is automobile manufacturing. Oregon’s lead NAICS is support activities for forestry. Those peaks sit on $2.86B and $2.67B. Auto manufacturing is a first read on Nevada’s mix; forestry support is a first read on Oregon’s mix.

The 45,442 Nevada awards and 36,965 Oregon awards include many actions outside those labels. Use the Nevada and Oregon state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes.

FY2026: $561.5M versus $239.5M

Fiscal year 2026 obligations are $561.5M in Nevada and $239.5M in Oregon. Recency preserves Nevada’s stacked dollar lead and opens a wider gap than the all-years stocks. Treat the year as a recency slice of obligations, not as Treasury cash.

Do not divide $561.5M or $239.5M by 45,442 or 36,965 all-years awards. Spending per capita of $171.84 and $56.06 already sits beside Census counts of 3,267,467 and 4,272,371.

Desert auto manufacturing versus Pacific forestry support

Nevada’s $2.86B on 3,267,467 residents exceeds Oregon’s $2.67B on 4,272,371. Spending per capita of $171.84 versus $56.06 follows. Nevada also files more awards, 45,442 versus 36,965, and more FY2026 obligations, $561.5M versus $239.5M.

Those dollar cuts are USAspending.gov obligations. Automobile manufacturing leads Nevada. Support activities for forestry lead Oregon. Outlays are not in the packet.

Oregon’s extra people do not produce the larger stock or the higher ratio. Headcount and dollars run opposite on this pair.

Why FY2026 widens Nevada’s lead

FY2026 of $561.5M versus $239.5M is a wider recency gap than $2.86B versus $2.67B on the stacked stocks. Recency is a slice of the same obligation series. It is not cash paid.
