Rhode Island vs Wyoming on USAspending: $880.6M vs $598.9M

Rhode Island’s $880.6M stock against Wyoming’s hotter ratio

Rhode Island’s $880.6M stacked stock sits above Wyoming’s $598.9M. Census population leans the same way: 1,112,308 versus 587,618. Intensity does not. $126.96 per capita in Wyoming is hotter than Rhode Island’s $71.48. Cite those packet ratios beside the Census counts rather than treating them as a restatement of $880.6M and $598.9M.

Award volume follows the larger stock. Rhode Island’s 11,923 awards versus Wyoming’s 9,330 is a thicker action log. Row count is not average award size. Do not divide $880.6M by 11,923 or $598.9M by 9,330. Cite USAspending.gov for both the dollar file and the award file.

Nonchocolate confectionery versus commercial building construction

Rhode Island’s lead NAICS is nonchocolate confectionery manufacturing. Wyoming’s is commercial and institutional building construction. A confectionery peak is a food-manufacturing first read on Rhode Island’s $880.6M mix. A commercial-building peak is a construction first read on Wyoming’s $598.9M mix. Candy manufacturing and building work are not the same label.

The 11,923 Rhode Island awards and 9,330 Wyoming awards include many actions outside those two industries. Use the Rhode Island and Wyoming state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not in the packet.

Rhode Island’s 11,923 awards sit on $880.6M. Wyoming’s 9,330 awards sit on $598.9M. FY2026 of $79.5M versus $74.6M stays close. Cite USAspending.gov and keep $71.48 and $126.96 labeled as obligation ratios.

FY2026: Rhode Island’s $79.5M versus Wyoming’s $74.6M

Fiscal year 2026 obligations are $79.5M in Rhode Island and $74.6M in Wyoming. Recency preserves Rhode Island’s stacked dollar lead, but the latest-year gap is thin. Treat the year as a recency slice of obligations, not as Treasury cash already paid.

Do not divide $79.5M or $74.6M by 11,923 or 9,330 all-years awards. Spending per capita of $71.48 and $126.96 already sits beside Census counts of 1,112,308 and 587,618. Cite USAspending.gov for both cuts.

What $126.96 looks like on 587,618 residents

Wyoming’s $598.9M on 587,618 people produces $126.96 per capita, hotter than Rhode Island’s $71.48 on 1,112,308. The construction peak sits on that hotter ratio and on 9,330 awards. The $74.6M FY2026 slice is the recency cut on the smaller stacked stock, close to Rhode Island’s $79.5M.

Rhode Island’s confectionery peak, 11,923 awards, and $880.6M stacked stock remain the larger all-years file. Read a New England state against a Mountain West state as a stacked-versus-intensity contrast. Keep every dollar figure labeled as a USAspending.gov obligation.
