Department of Justice in Georgia

Justice awards tagged to Georgia

This page is a join of two USAspending.gov fields: awarding agency Department of Justice (code 015) and place-of-performance Georgia. The extract sums to $1,445,442,900.23 on 2,732 awards. Those facts describe a coding intersection. They do not show that Department of Justice spending caused Georgia outcomes, or that Georgia caused the federal award book.

The pair is not a Georgia crime ranking or a count of federal inmates. Correlation of an agency label with a state code is not causation. Place-of-performance can follow a U.S. Attorney’s office, a Bureau of Prisons facility, a grant recipient, or a contractor. Work tagged to Georgia can involve parties elsewhere, and Georgia work can be coded to another state.

FBI Uniform Crime Reports, state court caseloads, and prison-population surveys are other series. Mixing any of those series with $1,445,442,900.23 leaves the USAspending award file. The 2,732 figure counts award records, including modifications present in the extract, not unique people, firms, or facilities.

Twenty-seven hundred rows under $1.45 billion

Two thousand seven hundred thirty-two awards under a $1.45 billion book is a midsize justice tape. Dividing $1,445,442,900.23 by 2,732 awards yields an implied mean near $529,079. That quotient is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical award size and not a median. A few large vehicles can pull the average while many smaller rows sit below it.

Volume and dollars are different columns. Cite both 2,732 and $1,445,442,900.23. USAspending.gov is the source. SpendingVault does not recast $529,079 as a product schedule or a beneficiary payment.

Later ingests can revise $1,445,442,900.23 and 2,732. This prose is a packet snapshot. The overlay is the live table. If those two disagree, use the overlay. Keep the obligation label so the cell is not read as cash already paid in Georgia.
