Math graduate programs, on the other hand, are generally only going to be found at major universities such as large state schools or big name private universities like the Ivy League, University of Chicago, Johns Hopkins, etc.
Of course, if you're talking about elite programs, then CS is probably the hardest to get into because their is such a big demand, and a lot of people who are already highly educated, connected, and wealthy are competing for the elite CS PhD programs. If you go to any well-ranked CS grad program in the US, you're department (which will be huge), will be filled with literally dozens or even hundreds Chinks, Indians, Russians, Israelis, and even a few elite American WASP types, most of whom will come very wealthy, educated, and connected families, and many of them have literally been tutored and groomed to be technocratic elites since they were in elementary school.
So if you're talking about an average CS vs an average math program, the average math program will be much more competitive. However, if you're talking about top grad programs, then CS is probably a bit more competitive, since the field is so over-saturated and trendy at the moment, and because a lot very wealthy, educated, and powerful families are sending their children to these CS programs right now, so if you get into the CS program at UCLA or MIT or Stanford or wherever, half of your classmates will be literal millionaire chinks and WASP elites, with prestigious CVs and LoRs.
