The data for the map is based on DoD 2006 annual report on DoD contracts. The original report has over 1.25 million contracts. For the current map, only those records worth $10K or more were selected, which were then geocoded and grouped by Defense contractor (52,127). Of which only those in the lower 48 states were selected (50,929) which were then geographically assigned and aggregated to 433 congressional districts (109th Congress). The ranking of congressional districts by dollar value of total defense contract is given below: 1. Virginia's 8th district $11.789 billion (985 defense contractors) 2.
