Oklahoma vs Texas

Neighboring states, a thin 50,460-award Oklahoma log

Texas’s $72.7B stacked stock sits well above Oklahoma’s $5.5B. Census population leans Texas: 31,290,831 versus 4,095,393. Intensity still favors Texas, but Oklahoma’s $205.98 per capita is hotter than several other Texas peers in this slice. Cite those packet ratios beside the Census counts; they are not a second copy of $72.7B and $5.5B.

Award volume is thin on the Oklahoma side. 50,460 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 50,460 or 530,634.

Aircraft parts versus pharmaceutical preparation

Oklahoma’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 Oklahoma’s $5.5B 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 50,460 Oklahoma awards and 530,634 Texas awards include many actions outside those two industries. Use the Oklahoma and Texas state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not in the packet.

Oklahoma’s 50,460 awards and $843.6M FY2026 slice sit on 4,095,393 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 $5.5B and $72.7B. Cite USAspending.gov for both neighbors.
