The defense dollar flow.
Money moving from the Pentagon to the states that capture the most Department of Defense contract dollars over the trailing 12 months.
Every year the Department of Defense obligates hundreds of billions of dollars in contracts, and that money lands unevenly. The map below traces the flow from the Pentagon to the 8 states that receive the most — Texas leads with $57.06B. Each state is shaded by its 12-month contract value; hover to inspect, and open a profile where one exists.
