Connecticut vs Texas

A $7.5B New England file with a $266.81 ratio

Texas’s $72.7B stacked stock sits well above Connecticut’s $7.5B. Census population leans Texas: 31,290,831 versus 3,675,069. Intensity still favors Texas, but Connecticut’s $266.81 per capita is hotter than many other states in this Texas batch. Cite those packet ratios beside the Census counts; they are not a second copy of $72.7B and $7.5B.

Award volume is thin on the Connecticut side. 94,990 awards versus 530,634 is a much thinner action log. Row count is not average award size. Cite USAspending.gov. Do not invent a mean from 94,990 or 530,634.

Aircraft parts versus pharmaceutical preparation

Connecticut’s lead NAICS is other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. Texas’s is pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing. An aircraft-parts peak is a first read on Connecticut’s $7.5B mix. A drug-manufacturing peak is a first read on Texas’s $72.7B mix. Aerospace hardware and pharmaceuticals are not the same label.

The 94,990 Connecticut awards and 530,634 Texas awards include many actions outside those two industries. Use the Connecticut and Texas state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not in the packet.

Connecticut’s 94,990 awards and $980.5M FY2026 slice sit on 3,675,069 residents. Texas’s 530,634 awards and $21.5B sit on 31,290,831. Other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing versus pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing remains the mix contrast on $7.5B and $72.7B. Cite USAspending.gov.
