Hawaii vs Texas

An island $4.1B file against a $72.7B mainland file

Texas’s $72.7B stacked stock sits well above Hawaii’s $4.1B. Census population leans Texas even more: 31,290,831 versus 1,446,146. Intensity still favors Texas. $686.1 per capita versus $196.71 is a wide gap. Cite those packet ratios beside the Census counts; they are not a second copy of $72.7B and $4.1B.

Award volume follows Texas, 530,634 versus 75,796. Row count is not average award size. Cite USAspending.gov. Do not invent a mean from 530,634 or 75,796.

Commercial building construction versus pharmaceutical preparation

Hawaii’s lead NAICS is commercial and institutional building construction. Texas’s is pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing. A construction peak is a first read on Hawaii’s $4.1B mix. A drug-manufacturing peak is a first read on Texas’s $72.7B mix. Buildings and pharmaceuticals are not the same label.

The 75,796 Hawaii awards and 530,634 Texas awards include many actions outside those two industries. Use the Hawaii and Texas state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not in the packet.

Hawaii’s 75,796 awards and $284.5M FY2026 slice sit on 1,446,146 residents. Texas’s 530,634 awards and $21.5B sit on 31,290,831. Commercial and institutional building construction versus pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing remains the mix contrast on $4.1B and $72.7B. $196.71 versus $686.1 is the intensity ranking. Cite USAspending.gov for both the island file and the national-scale file.

What industries lead in Hawaii and Texas?

Hawaii’s top industry is commercial and institutional building construction. Texas’s is pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing. Those labels are the largest NAICS slices on $4.1B and $72.7B. Award counts are 75,796 in Hawaii and 530,634 in Texas.

Does Hawaii’s smaller population produce a higher per-capita figure?

No. The packet reports $196.71 per capita in Hawaii on 1,446,146 residents and $686.1 in Texas on 31,290,831. Stacked stocks are $4.1B versus $72.7B. These figures are USAspending.gov obligations, not outlays. The smaller Census count still sits with the cooler ratio.

Are Hawaii vs Texas figures Treasury outlays?

No. The $4.1B and $72.7B totals, and FY2026 amounts of $284.5M and $21.5B, are USAspending.gov obligations. Outlays are cash payments and can lag. Spending per capita ($196.71 vs $686.1) uses Census population where present. This packet does not publish outlays or average award size.
