Alaska’s awards per resident grew fastest from FY2014 to FY2025, +140%, and Tennessee’s slowest, +55%, Medicare set aside

Source. USAspending.gov state profiles (prime award obligations by place of performance) and spending by geography (Medicare listings 93.773, 93.774, 93.770, by recipient location); Census Bureau population, July 1, via FRED. Fiscal years 2014–2025.

Method and data

Method. Each tile is a state’s awards per resident, Medicare set aside, FY2014 to FY2025, drawn as an index on one scale (each year’s value ÷ the state’s FY2014 value × 100), so the tiles compare growth; Alaska, the fastest, is in the accent. The index is the firm’s calculation from the dollar values in the table, which lists every state’s per-resident series and its change from FY2014 to FY2025, sorted from the largest change; the CSV adds contracts, direct payments and grants per resident, and the total as recorded. The District of Columbia is drawn on the same index (+77%); in dollars it is off any shared scale ($39,632 in FY2014, $70,232 in FY2025). Puerto Rico has no population series and no tile. The analysis window is FY2014–FY2025: before FY2014 the “other financial assistance” category swings by hundreds of billions between years in ways that reflect reporting practice, not spending (USAspending national sums: $1,279 billion in FY2011 and $63 billion in FY2014).
