General Services Administration in District of Columbia

HUD awards tagged to the District of Columbia

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, District of Columbia as place-of-performance: 1,525 records summing to $2,932,641,588.10. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside DC is out. An award in District of Columbia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. District of Columbia (DC) excludes Maryland and Virginia even when a recipient office sits across the river. Place of performance is DC, not a metro area.

One thousand five hundred twenty-five records is a modest HUD book for a city-state: thicker than a thin Energy cell, thinner than a high-count voucher file. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,525 as 1,525 unique housing units, voucher households, or named housing authorities. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in District of Columbia is the both-keys table. District of Columbia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without a DC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Headquarters folklore is not a packet split. An award tagged MD or VA is out even if the program office is in the District. Correlation is not causation: District of Columbia did not “cause” $2,932,641,588.10 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × DC only.

Not a census of District households

$2,932,641,588.10 does not measure housing units, voucher households, or named housing authorities. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and a DC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,525 awards as a census of housing units, voucher households, or named housing authorities. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If District of Columbia federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $2,932,641,588.10 and 1,525, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Maryland and Virginia HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.
