Department of State in Arkansas

Nineteen State awards tagged to Arkansas

Department of State as awarding agency, Arkansas as place-of-performance: 19 records summing to $468,757,819.67. A Department of State award coded outside AR is out. An award in Arkansas from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Arkansas (AR) excludes Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. Place of performance is AR, not a regional diplomatic zone.

Nineteen awards against $468,757,819.67 is among the thinnest State files in this slice. The implied mean is large and easy to misread as a typical grant. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 19 as 19 unique passport offices, foreign-service billets, or named posts. The overlay Department of State in Arkansas is the both-keys table. Arkansas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of State is the agency book without an AR filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Little Rock is not a published metro share. Do not treat 19 rows as 19 unique diplomatic missions. Correlation is not causation: Arkansas did not “cause” $468,757,819.67 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 019 × AR only.

Not a Little Rock post census

$468,757,819.67 does not measure passport offices, foreign-service billets, or named posts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 019 and an AR place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 19 awards as a census of passport offices, foreign-service billets, or named posts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Arkansas federal spending or Department of State matched $468,757,819.67 and 19, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Missouri, Tennessee, and Oklahoma State joins are other pairs, not addends.
