Department of Transportation in Delaware

DOT awards tagged to Delaware

Department of Transportation as awarding agency, Delaware as place-of-performance: 592 records summing to $1,371,628,180.92. A Department of Transportation award coded outside DE is out. An award in Delaware from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Delaware (DE) excludes Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. A Philadelphia-coded award is Pennsylvania even if the corridor crosses the river.

Five hundred ninety-two awards sits in a mid-count DOT band. Modifications can add rows without each row being a new construction project. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 592 as 592 unique lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates. The overlay Department of Transportation in Delaware is the both-keys table. Delaware federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Transportation is the agency book without a DE filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Wilmington is unpublished as a metro share. $1,371,628,180.92 stays statewide. Correlation is not causation: Delaware did not cause $1,371,628,180.92 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 069 × DE only.

Not I-95 folklore or a bridge census

$1,371,628,180.92 does not measure lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 069 and a DE place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 592 awards as a census of lane-miles, unique contractors, or named Interstates. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Delaware federal spending or Department of Transportation matched $1,371,628,180.92 and 592, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey DOT joins are other pairs, not addends.
