California 39th District

The California 39th District (CA-39) filter on NSF

Awarding agency 049 and congressional district CA-39 meet here. $78,090,720 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not National Science Foundation’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to California 39th District (CA-39), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. 135 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a grant-portfolio roster, a campus census, or a named-principal-investigator file.

Dividing $78,090,720 by 135 yields about $578,449.78 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 135 awards is a compact NSF file. The implied mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a posted per-investigator figure. Do not treat CA-39’s 049 cell as a synonym for every NSF account nationwide. Open California 39th District for the district table without this agency filter, National Science Foundation for agency 049 without the CA-39 filter, California federal spending for every awarding agency in the California extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $78,090,720.

The National Science Foundation awarding-agency rollup

USAspending labels awarding agency 049 as National Science Foundation. That code produced $78,090,720 when crossed with California 39th District (CA-39) place of performance. The agency-wide 049 hub does not require CA-39 geography. The district hub does not require NSF. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 135 awards. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: California 39th District (CA-39) did not “cause” $78,090,720 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 049 × CA-39 only. It is not a grant-portfolio roster, a campus census, or a named-principal-investigator file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Questions

How much NSF spending is coded to California 39th District (CA-39)?

USAspending.gov lists $78,090,720 in National Science Foundation obligations across 135 awards with place of performance in California 39th District (CA-39). Agency 049 × CA-39 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not California’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 3.5% of the district’s published total ($2,216,466,669.65). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $578,449.78, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $78,090,720 include every NSF program in CA-39?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. $78,090,720 is the combined obligation sum for agency 049 inside CA-39 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open National Science Foundation and California 39th District to inspect parent tables. 135 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $78,090,720 cash already paid in California 39th District (CA-39)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $78,090,720 as checks already cleared in California 39th District (CA-39) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 135 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Why is the implied average $578,449.78 not a typical award?

The average is $78,090,720 divided by 135 awards, about $578,449.78. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
