KY-03 saw more federal work than any other congressional district in FY2026 (data still posting): $149.3B. Ranked by federal work performed in each district. District attribution is INFERRED from the place of performance on each award, not reported directly. Computed
Ranked from USASpending records. FY2020 to FY2026 are loaded. FY2026 ended on September 30, 2026, and its records are still posting, so each total is shown beside the same name's FY2025 figure, with no percentage change. Rank vs FY2025 is each name's change in position from FY2025, and positions can still move as late FY2026 records post; a dash means the name was not in FY2025's data.

The source's own congressional-district field is frequently missing or wrong, so these figures are derived and labeled inferred throughout the site. State-level figures are reliable; district-level ones are our best reading of the same records.
Questions
- Which congressional district receives the most federal spending in FY2026?
- KY-03, with $149.3B of federal work performed there in FY2026 (data still posting). District figures are inferred from place of performance.
- Why are district figures inferred rather than reported?
- Because the congressional-district field on federal award records is frequently blank or stale. We derive the district from the reported place of performance instead, and say so on every page that shows one.
- Where does this ranking come from?
- It is computed from USASpending.gov award records, which are U.S. government works and in the public domain. Each figure is the federal work performed in that district in FY2026 (data still posting), inferred from place of performance. TheFiscalFinder does the ranking; the underlying figures are the government's own.
- How many districts are shown?
- The top 100 for FY2026 (data still posting). Each row opens that district's own page, where the same money is broken out by year, by counterparty and by place.
- Does a high position mean anything is wrong?
- No. This is a description of where public money went in FY2026 (data still posting), computed from public records. It is not an allegation about anyone on it.

Why the labels? The graph is only worth anything if the links are trusted. Facts taken straight from a federal filing are Source; figures we calculate are Computed; links we infer (corporate parents, districts, similar contractors, connections between records) are Inferred, worded carefully, never asserted as fact and never a claim that one thing caused another.
