Treasury awards tagged to Alaska

Department of the Treasury as awarding agency, Alaska as place-of-performance: 329 records summing to $1,287,897,519.88. A Department of the Treasury award coded outside AK is out. An award in Alaska from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Alaska (AK) is a distinct place-of-performance key. Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii Treasury rows are other cells.

Three hundred twenty-nine records against $1,287,897,519.88 is a thin-to-mid Treasury file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 329 as 329 unique individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. The overlay Department of the Treasury in Alaska is the both-keys table. Alaska federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of the Treasury is the agency book without an AK filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Agency code 020 is the awarding key. Population size is not a packet fact. Do not argue that Alaska punches above its weight. Correlation is not causation: Alaska did not cause $1,287,897,519.88 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 020 × AK only.

Refunds are a different series

$1,287,897,519.88 does not measure individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 020 and an AK place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 329 awards as a census of individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Alaska federal spending or Department of the Treasury matched $1,287,897,519.88 and 329, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Washington and Oregon Treasury joins are other pairs, not addends.
