12,147 awards under $12.30 billion
Assistance listing 10.427 is titled RURAL RENTAL ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $12,302,139,939.09. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a rent check already cashed.
12,147 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $12,302,139,939.09 by 12,147 produces a mean near $1.01 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical tenant payment and not a per-unit monthly subsidy. Many property-level actions can add to $12,302,139,939.09 without any single row matching a household ledger.
4,406 organizational recipients appear on those rows—wide relative to many block-grant listings of similar dollars. 52 states are coded for place of performance. Neither count converts the obligation total into occupied units.
4,406 recipients across 52 states
CFDA 10.427 lists 4,406 recipients against 12,147 awards. Recipient count is not unique tenants. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. One property owner or management entity can hold several awards; 4,406 is still a wide organizational spread for a $12,302,139,939.09 book.
Fifty-two states is a coded-jurisdiction span. Extra modifications can lift the 12,147-award count while dollars stay near $12,302,139,939.09. The rental-assistance hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.
Obligations versus rental outlays
USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $12,302,139,939.09 figure for CFDA 10.427 can include commitments that will disburse as monthly assistance continues. A separate occupancy report or a Treasury outlay table is a different publication. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.
If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 10.427 program page. Do not stretch 12,147 awards to cover every rural housing dollar tagged under another listing.
What the 10.427 tables omit
The Rural Rental Assistance Payments hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a tenant roster, not a vacancy file, and not a map of every rural apartment. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $12,302,139,939.09.
Place-of-performance on 52 states is a coding field. A multi-property recipient coded to one cell can dominate geography while units sit in several counties. Read the program page before any state split.

A worked reading of the 10.427 extract
Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 10.427: $12,302,139,939.09 in obligations, 12,147 awards, 4,406 recipients, and 52 states. The mean near $1.01 million per award is a quotient from those two packet totals, not a typical unit cost and not a household or client rate. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large actions, dollars can jump while 4,406 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 12,147 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $12,302,139,939.09.
Nothing in the extract splits RURAL RENTAL ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications.
