General Services Administration in Georgia

A thin Treasury file on a Georgia tag

Department of the Treasury as awarding agency, Georgia as place-of-performance: 689 records summing to $6,750,604,394.50. A Department of the Treasury award coded outside GA is out. An award in Georgia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Georgia (GA) is the place-of-performance key. Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee Treasury rows are other cells.

Six hundred eighty-nine awards against $6,750,604,394.50 is a thin, high-mean file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 689 as 689 unique individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. The overlay Department of the Treasury in Georgia is the both-keys table. Georgia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of the Treasury is the agency book without a GA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Atlanta is not published as a metro cut. Assigning the cell to a named campus is a new extract. Correlation is not causation: Georgia did not “cause” $6,750,604,394.50 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 020 × GA only.

Refunds are a different series

$6,750,604,394.50 does not measure individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 020 and a GA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 689 awards as a census of individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Georgia federal spending or Department of the Treasury matched $6,750,604,394.50 and 689, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Florida, Alabama, and South Carolina Treasury joins are other pairs, not addends.
