Oregon vs Tennessee on USAspending: $2.67B vs $3.58B

Tennessee leads the packet on dollars, people, and rows

Tennessee’s $3.58B is the larger stacked total. Oregon’s $2.67B sits on 4,272,371 residents against 7,227,750. Spending per capita follows the stock: $97.50 versus $56.06. Oregon’s smaller Census count does not produce a higher ratio.

Award counts favor Tennessee as well, 63,616 versus 36,965. Tennessee’s file is busier in rows and larger in stock. Oregon’s 36,965 actions sit on $2.67B.

FY2026 is the widest recency gap in the packet: $704.7M versus $239.5M. Cite USAspending.gov for the stacked stocks and the latest-year amounts.

Oregon trails on $2.67B versus $3.58B, on 36,965 awards versus 63,616, on $56.06 per capita versus $97.50, on 4,272,371 residents versus 7,227,750, and on $239.5M versus $704.7M in FY2026. That sweep is still an obligation ranking.

Support activities for forestry versus couriers and express delivery services is mix. It is not a cash ranking. Cite USAspending.gov. Outlays are not in the packet. Use the Oregon and Tennessee hubs for agencies and recipients.

Forestry support versus courier services

Oregon’s lead NAICS is support activities for forestry. Tennessee’s lead NAICS is couriers and express delivery services. Those peaks sit on $2.67B and $3.58B. Forestry support is a first read on Oregon’s mix; couriers are a first read on Tennessee’s mix.

The 36,965 Oregon awards and 63,616 Tennessee awards include many actions outside those labels. Use the Oregon and Tennessee state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes.

FY2026 recency: $239.5M versus $704.7M

Fiscal year 2026 obligations are $239.5M in Oregon and $704.7M in Tennessee. Recency preserves Tennessee’s stacked dollar lead. Treat the year as a recency slice of obligations, not as Treasury cash.

Do not divide $239.5M or $704.7M by 36,965 or 63,616 all-years awards. Spending per capita of $56.06 and $97.50 already sits beside Census counts of 4,272,371 and 7,227,750.

Pacific headcount, smaller obligation file

Oregon’s 4,272,371 residents are not a small Census count. Tennessee’s 7,227,750 still produce the larger obligation stock ($3.58B vs $2.67B), the higher per-capita reading ($97.50 vs $56.06), and the larger award file (63,616 vs 36,965).

Keep those per-capita figures labeled as Census-based packet figures on USAspending.gov obligations. They are not outlays per resident.

Forestry support on a smaller Pacific stock

Oregon’s $2.67B, 36,965 awards, $56.06 per capita, 4,272,371 residents, and $239.5M in FY2026 trail Tennessee on every dollar and row cut in the packet. Tennessee’s matching figures are $3.58B, 63,616 awards, $97.50, 7,227,750, and $704.7M.

Those dollar cuts are USAspending.gov obligations. Support activities for forestry lead Oregon. Couriers and express delivery services lead Tennessee. Peak NAICS is mix, not cash.

FY2026 of $239.5M versus $704.7M is a recency slice. It preserves Tennessee’s stacked lead. It is not an outlay figure.

A sweep on stock, people, awards, per capita, and latest year is still an obligation ranking. It is not a judgment about programs. It is not Treasury cash.

Spending per capita of $56.06 and $97.50 uses Census where present. Award counts of 36,965 and 63,616 are row totals. The comparison hub holds the tables.
