Oklahoma vs Washington on USAspending: $5.5B vs $7.3B

Washington’s dollars, Oklahoma’s thinner file

These figures are USAspending.gov obligations, not Treasury outlays. Washington’s $7.3B stock sits $1.9 billion above Oklahoma’s $5.5B. Place of performance in the award file is the scoring rule. Washington has more people (7,958,180 versus 4,095,393) and far more awards (236,821 versus 50,460). Oklahoma still posts the higher per-capita reading and the larger FY2026 window.

Washington’s $7,337,035,583 is spread across 236,821 records. Oklahoma’s $5,456,947,205 sits on 50,460. That is about 4.7 Washington awards for each Oklahoma award. Dollars favor Washington; paperwork volume favors Washington as well. Intensity and recency do not.

Washington’s 236,821 awards on $7,337,035,583 versus Oklahoma’s 50,460 awards on $5,456,947,205 is a paperwork-and-scale ranking. Per capita of $73.46 on 7,958,180 residents versus $205.98 on 4,095,393 residents and FY2026 of $584,612,717 versus $843,573,742 invert that ranking. Aircraft parts versus building construction is mix. A larger stacked stock does not buy the intensity lead or the latest-year lead.

Oklahoma’s $205.98 versus Washington’s $73.46

Oklahoma’s 4,095,393 residents against $5.5B produce $205.98 per capita. Washington’s 7,958,180 residents against $7.3B produce $73.46. Intensity in Oklahoma is more than 2.8 times Washington’s even though Washington holds the larger stacked total.

A $205.98 per-person reading is an intensity fact attached to $5.5B, not a household payment. Washington’s $73.46 is attached to $7.3B. This table scores USAspending place of performance, not GDP. Washington can lead stacked dollars while trailing on a per-resident basis because 7,958,180 people spread $7.3B more thinly than 4,095,393 people spread $5.5B.

Aircraft parts in Oklahoma, buildings in Washington

Oklahoma’s top industry is other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. Washington’s is commercial and institutional building construction. Those NAICS labels mark the largest grouping in each state’s file. Aircraft-parts awards and building awards are different lead products sitting on $5.5B and $7.3B stocks.

An aircraft-parts lead inside Oklahoma’s 50,460-award file can concentrate auxiliary equipment without explaining every dollar. A construction lead inside Washington’s 236,821-award file can include large facility actions without making Washington a single-product state. Mix and scale both differ. Neither label is the entire stock.

FY2026: $843.6M in Oklahoma vs $584.6M in Washington

FY2026 obligations are $843,573,742 in Oklahoma and $584,612,717 in Washington. Oklahoma leads the latest year, reversing a stacked ranking that favors Washington. Recency questions belong in FY2026. The $5.5B and $7.3B totals remain the full USAspending.gov aggregate this comparison uses. Both years are obligations, not outlays.

Do not divide those FY figures by Oklahoma’s 50,460 or Washington’s 236,821 all-years awards. Per capita of $205.98 on 4,095,393 residents versus $73.46 on 7,958,180 residents is the intensity comparison. FY2026 is the cut that reverses the dollar ranking. Stacked totals still favor Washington.

Oklahoma’s $843,573,742 FY2026 versus Washington’s $584,612,717 already reverses $5,456,947,205 versus $7,337,035,583. 50,460 awards versus 236,821 awards and 4,095,393 residents versus 7,958,180 residents produce $205.98 versus $73.46. Recency and intensity invert the stacked ranking. Aircraft parts versus buildings is mix. Both years are obligations.

Washington’s stock, Oklahoma’s intensity and year

Washington leads stacked dollars ($7.3B vs $5.5B), award count (236,821 vs 50,460), and population (7,958,180 vs 4,095,393). Oklahoma leads per capita ($205.98 vs $73.46) and FY2026 ($843.6M vs $584.6M). Those splits are why this pair cannot be reduced to one ranking.

Other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing versus commercial and institutional building construction is mix inside files that contain many other industries. Use the Oklahoma and Washington hubs for agencies and recipients. Keep both stocks labeled as USAspending.gov obligations.

Washington’s stock, Oklahoma’s year and intensity

Washington’s $7,337,035,583 versus Oklahoma’s $5,456,947,205 is the stacked ranking. FY2026 of $584,612,717 versus $843,573,742 and per capita of $73.46 versus $205.98 are the counters. Award rows of 236,821 versus 50,460 and people of 7,958,180 versus 4,095,393 stay with Washington. A searcher who only checks stacked dollars will miss the inversions.

Other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing versus commercial and institutional building construction is mix. Oklahoma’s 50,460-award file on $5.5B is a heavier typical booking. Both stocks are USAspending.gov obligations, not Treasury outlays. Place of performance is the scoring rule.
