California’s 42nd district FY2024 USAspending
Fiscal year 2024 is the only year in this packet: CA-42 shows $15.2 billion in USAspending.gov obligations and 4,405 awards with that place-of-performance code. SpendingVault reports the dollars as obligations, not outlays. California’s 42nd district, like several high-dollar California seats, has a short 4,405-award extract beside $15.2 billion. California District 42 is a numbered House seat on the mapped voting geography, not a 90 leftover. Cite $15.2 billion only with the FY2024 window and the obligation label.
Key figures
- FY2024 place-of-performance obligations in California District 42 total $15.2 billion.
- 4,405 awards share the CA-42 tag in that extract.
- District geography is performance location, not HQ.
- CA-42 is a mapped House district, not a 90/98 bucket.
- Cite $15.2 billion as obligations, not outlays.
The $15.2 billion FY2024 obligation file
$15.2 billion is the obligation total USAspending.gov attaches to California District 42 for fiscal year 2024. The figure is a sum of award commitments, not cash already paid and not California’s state budget. This page does not translate $15.2 billion into outlays. CA-42’s $15.2 billion is the FY2024 obligation file for that mapped seat. It is not a 90 unspecified bin and not a 98 non-voting bin. 4,405 awards are the matching count.
The packet’s year window is FY2024 only. First year and last year are both 2024. Federal fiscal years start October 1. USAspending.gov can still correct records, which would move $15.2 billion and the 4,405-award count. There is no FY2025 figure in this packet to add to $15.2 billion. Cite the year as federal FY2024 when the 4,405-award count is reused. Do not treat $15.2 billion as a calendar-year 2024 total.
CA-42 place of performance versus headquarters
Congressional district here is the USAspending place-of-performance field. A performance site coded to the 42nd district can appear even when the recipient’s headquarters sits in another California district or another state. A firm with a CA-42 mailing address can also post dollars elsewhere if performance is coded there. A recipient based outside the 42nd district can still appear among the 4,405 rows if place of performance is CA-42. Headquarters is the wrong join key.
District 42 is a numbered House seat. California rows that never received a voting-district number sit in district 90 (unspecified) or 98 (non-voting). Those buckets are not this CA-42 table. Do not merge this page with other California mapped seats. Unspecified California performance uses district 90, not this $15.2 billion mapped hub. Keep 4,405 awards on the 42nd district’s performance code.
4,405 awards on a short CA-42 extract
4,405 is a relatively short FY2024 record count for CA-42 place of performance beside $15.2 billion. A short extract can still include modifications. The packet does not publish unique recipients or an awarding-agency mix, so any reading of concentration is a comment on row count, not a named-vendor claim. Do not compute a typical award from $15.2 billion and 4,405 rows. That quotient is not a packet fact. Use the California District 42 hub to read individual records. $15.2 billion stays the FY2024 obligation roll-up for CA-42.
4,405 remains a record count. Modifications can add rows without turning the extract into a unique-firm list. The California District 42 hub is the table. $15.2 billion stays the FY2024 obligation roll-up for CA-42. If another briefing quotes a different California district, that is a different hub with its own packet — not a correction to 4,405 or $15.2 billion.
Obligations, not Treasury outlays
The $15.2 billion total is the obligation series. Outlays measure disbursements and can land in a later fiscal year. Mixing series makes CA-42 look inconsistent when the files are simply counting different events. SpendingVault does not recast this district as cash paid. A FY2024 obligation can fund later invoices; a later modification can change net amounts without turning this page into a cash register.
Recipient-location maps, calendar-year totals, and state budget documents are other products. Match geography, year, and series before treating a disagreement with $15.2 billion as an error. Cite CA-42 as FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations of $15.2 billion on 4,405 awards. Do not mix that total into an outlay sheet or a headquarters extract.
California statewide and the district index
California’s state hub is the statewide obligation view. CA-42 is one mapped place-of-performance district inside that state. Statewide California is not equal to District 42. Other California mapped seats have their own hubs; this packet does not quote those other figures. Stay on CA-42 for the 42nd district file.
The all-districts index lists other California seats and unspecified buckets in the same format. Compare CA-42 only on FY2024 obligations. This packet does not rank the 42nd district. Numbered seats and 90/98 leftovers are listed side by side in that index; they are not interchangeable geographies.
Keeping California District 42 on one series
The $15.2 billion FY2024 obligation total for CA-42 is an indexed USAspending.gov statistic. SpendingVault does not convert 4,405 awards into unique firms or cash paid, and it does not merge District 42 with a 90 leftover page. A complete citation names the 42nd district, FY2024, USAspending.gov, place of performance, obligations, $15.2 billion, and 4,405 awards.
Align comparisons to place of performance, federal FY2024, and obligations before placing $15.2 billion next to another California column. The California state hub and the all-districts index use the same rules. CA-42’s $15.2 billion and 4,405 awards stay on this page. Do not recode this extract as outlays, and do not treat district 42 as an unspecified bucket.
Questions
- How much federal spending is in California’s 42nd district?
- USAspending.gov shows $15.2 billion in FY2024 obligations with place of performance in California District 42. That is not an outlay total and not California’s state budget. The same extract counts 4,405 awards for CA-42. First year and last year are both 2024. Cite the figure as place-of-performance obligations, not headquarters spending.
- Does CA-42 spending mean the contractor is based there?
- No. The district is USAspending place of performance, not recipient headquarters. Work coded to California’s 42nd district can belong to a recipient based in another district or another state. A CA-42 mailing address does not force every dollar onto this hub. Only the performance tag puts an award among the 4,405 records.
- Are California District 42’s $15.2 billion outlays?
- No. $15.2 billion is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are cash leaving the Treasury. SpendingVault does not convert CA-42 obligations into outlays. Keep the obligation label and the FY2024 window when the figure is reused. The matching award count is 4,405.
- How many awards are tagged to California District 42?
- 4,405 awards appear for CA-42 place of performance in FY2024. That figure is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-recipient census. This packet does not divide $15.2 billion by 4,405 to invent an average. Use the California District 42 hub to inspect individual lines.
Congressional district is USAspending place-of-performance, not the recipient HQ. District 90/98 are USAspending unspecified/non-voting buckets.
