Phoenix and Tucson are unpublished. Named Commerce bureaus inside 013 are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Arizona did not cause $1,415,868,445.12 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 013 × AZ only.

Not export dollars or a bureau headcount

$1,415,868,445.12 does not measure unique firms, export dollars, or named bureaus. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 013 and an AZ place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 170 awards as a census of unique firms, export dollars, or named bureaus. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Arizona federal spending or Department of Commerce matched $1,415,868,445.12 and 170, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. California, Nevada, and New Mexico Commerce joins are other pairs, not addends.
