Questions

Which state receives the most federal spending in FY2025?
California, with $485.7B of federal work performed there in FY2025, ahead of Florida at $325B.
Is this where the money is spent or where the company is based?
Where the work is performed, as reported on each award. A contractor headquartered in one state routinely performs the work in several others.
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 value of federal work performed in that state in FY2025. TheFiscalFinder does the ranking; the underlying figures are the government's own.
How many states are shown?
The top 56 for FY2025. Each row opens that state'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 FY2025, 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 ✓ from source; figures we calculate are ≈ computed; links we infer (corporate parents, districts, competitors, connections between records) are ≈ inferred, worded carefully, never asserted as fact and never a claim that one thing caused another.
