Georgia vs Texas

Two large states, a $72.7B file against a $9.7B file

Texas’s $72.7B stacked stock sits well above Georgia’s $9.7B. Census population leans Texas: 31,290,831 versus 11,180,878. Intensity does not flatten. $686.1 per capita in Texas is far hotter than Georgia’s $95.66. Cite those packet ratios beside the Census counts; they are not a second copy of $72.7B and $9.7B.

Award volume follows Texas, but the row gap is milder than the dollar gap: 530,634 versus 278,028. Row count is not average award size. Cite USAspending.gov. Do not invent a mean from 530,634 or 278,028.

Aircraft manufacturing versus pharmaceutical preparation

Georgia’s lead NAICS is aircraft manufacturing. Texas’s is pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing. An aircraft peak is a first read on Georgia’s $9.7B mix. A drug-manufacturing peak is a first read on Texas’s $72.7B mix. Airframes and pharmaceuticals are not the same label.

The 278,028 Georgia awards and 530,634 Texas awards include many actions outside those two industries. Use the Georgia and Texas state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not in the packet.

Georgia’s 278,028 awards and $1.1B FY2026 slice sit on 11,180,878 residents. Texas’s 530,634 awards and $21.5B sit on 31,290,831. Aircraft manufacturing versus pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing remains the mix contrast on $9.7B and $72.7B. $95.66 versus $686.1 is the intensity ranking that stays wide after population. Cite USAspending.gov for both the stacked stocks and the recency cut.

Are Georgia vs Texas figures Treasury outlays?
