A thin EPA file on Florida

Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency, Florida as place-of-performance: 285 records summing to $3,017,335,789.32. An Environmental Protection Agency award coded outside FL is out. An award in Florida from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Florida (FL) excludes Georgia and Alabama. A Mobile-coded award is Alabama even if a watershed crosses.

Two hundred eighty-five awards against $3,017,335,789.32 is a thin, high-mean EPA pattern. One restatement can move the mean quickly. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 285 as 285 unique Superfund sites, unique permits, or pounds of emissions. The overlay Environmental Protection Agency in Florida is the both-keys table. Florida federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Environmental Protection Agency is the agency book without an FL filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Everglades and Tampa Bay folklore is unpublished. This packet does not name Clean Water or Superfund line items inside $3,017,335,789.32. Correlation is not causation: Florida did not “cause” $3,017,335,789.32 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 068 × FL only.

Not Superfund sites or a permit roster

$3,017,335,789.32 does not measure Superfund sites, unique permits, or pounds of emissions. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 068 and an FL place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 285 awards as a census of Superfund sites, unique permits, or pounds of emissions. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Florida federal spending or Environmental Protection Agency matched $3,017,335,789.32 and 285, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Georgia and Alabama EPA joins are other pairs, not addends.
