Ohio vs Texas on USAspending: $8.1B vs $72.7B

Ohio’s $8.1B on 11,883,304 people, a cool $61.66 ratio

Texas’s $72.7B stacked stock sits well above Ohio’s $8.1B. Census population leans Texas: 31,290,831 versus 11,883,304. Intensity is the ranking that opens widest. $61.66 per capita in Ohio is far cooler than Texas’s $686.1. Cite those packet ratios beside the Census counts; they are not a second copy of $72.7B and $8.1B.

Award volume follows Texas, 530,634 versus 168,038. Row count is not average award size. Cite USAspending.gov. Do not invent a mean from 530,634 or 168,038.

Aircraft engines versus pharmaceutical preparation

Ohio’s lead NAICS is aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing. Texas’s is pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing. An engine-parts peak is a first read on Ohio’s $8.1B mix. A drug-manufacturing peak is a first read on Texas’s $72.7B mix. Propulsion hardware and pharmaceuticals are not the same label.

The 168,038 Ohio awards and 530,634 Texas awards include many actions outside those two industries. Use the Ohio and Texas state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not in the packet.

Ohio’s 168,038 awards and $732.7M FY2026 slice sit on 11,883,304 residents. Texas’s 530,634 awards and $21.5B sit on 31,290,831. Aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing versus pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing remains the mix contrast on $8.1B and $72.7B. $61.66 versus $686.1 is the intensity ranking. Cite USAspending.gov.

FY2026: Texas’s $21.5B versus Ohio’s $732.7M

Fiscal year 2026 obligations are $21.5B in Texas and $732.7M in Ohio. Recency preserves Texas’s stacked dollar lead. Treat the year as a recency slice of obligations, not as Treasury cash already paid.

Do not divide $21.5B or $732.7M by 530,634 or 168,038 all-years awards. Spending per capita of $686.1 and $61.66 already sits beside Census counts of 31,290,831 and 11,883,304. Cite USAspending.gov for both cuts.

What $61.66 looks like on 11,883,304 residents

Ohio’s $8.1B on 11,883,304 people produces $61.66 per capita, much cooler than Texas’s $686.1 on 31,290,831. The aircraft-engine peak sits on that cooler ratio and on 168,038 awards. The $732.7M FY2026 slice is the recency cut on the smaller stock.

Texas’s pharmaceutical peak, 530,634 awards, and $21.5B latest-year amount remain the larger file. Read a Midwest engine-parts peak against a national-scale pharmaceutical file. Keep every dollar figure labeled as a USAspending.gov obligation.

How to read Ohio versus Texas

Read Texas first on stacked dollars ($72.7B vs $8.1B), population (31,290,831 vs 11,883,304), awards (530,634 vs 168,038), spending per capita ($686.1 vs $61.66), and FY2026 ($21.5B vs $732.7M). Note aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing versus pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing.

The comparison hub holds the tables. The Ohio and Texas hubs hold agencies and recipients. Outlays are a different series. Cite USAspending.gov. Keep $61.66 and $686.1 labeled as Census-based obligation ratios.

Aircraft engines on a $61.66 ratio

Ohio’s aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing peak sits on $8.1B, 11,883,304 residents, 168,038 awards, $61.66 per capita, and $732.7M in FY2026. That $61.66 ratio is among the cooler intensity readings next to Texas’s $686.1 on $72.7B, 31,290,831 residents, 530,634 awards, and $21.5B in FY2026. Propulsion hardware and pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing are not the same first filter.

Cite USAspending.gov. A large Midwest Census file can still sit with a cool obligation ratio. Outlays are not in the packet. Use the comparison hub for tables. Use the Ohio and Texas hubs for agencies and recipients. Keep $61.66 and $686.1 labeled as Census-based obligation ratios.

Questions

Does Ohio or Texas have more federal spending?

Texas leads stacked USAspending.gov obligations $72.7B to Ohio’s $8.1B, spending per capita $686.1 to $61.66, awards 530,634 to 168,038, and FY2026 obligations $21.5B to $732.7M. Population is 11,883,304 in Ohio and 31,290,831 in Texas.

What industries lead in Ohio and Texas?

Ohio’s top industry is aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing. Texas’s is pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing. Those labels are the largest NAICS slices on $8.1B and $72.7B. Award counts are 168,038 in Ohio and 530,634 in Texas.

Why is Ohio’s per-capita figure so much lower?

The packet reports $61.66 per capita in Ohio on 11,883,304 residents and $686.1 in Texas on 31,290,831. Stacked stocks are $8.1B versus $72.7B. These figures are USAspending.gov obligations divided by Census population where present. A large Census file can still sit with a cool ratio.

Are Ohio vs Texas figures Treasury outlays?

No. The $8.1B and $72.7B totals, and FY2026 amounts of $732.7M and $21.5B, are USAspending.gov obligations. Outlays are cash payments and can lag. Spending per capita ($61.66 vs $686.1) uses Census population where present. This packet does not publish outlays or average award size.
