What the Justice-Illinois join is
Awarding agency 015 and place-of-performance state IL meet here. $1,119,901,645.17 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Justice's nationwide budget, not Illinois's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Northern-district, grant-program, and statewide law-enforcement folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a census of Illinois cases.
4,376 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — thousands of award actions behind a billion-dollar obligation total. Thousands of rows can mix large instruments with smaller formula grants. The join does not rank Illinois against other states and does not name districts inside the extract.

4,376 Justice actions under one Illinois filter
Dividing $1,119,901,645.17 by 4,376 yields about $255,919.02 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical law-enforcement grant. A second Justice slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Illinois's 015 total as a synonym for every Justice bureau account.
Northern-district, grant-program, and statewide law-enforcement folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Agency names and recipient rows live on the overlay table, not in this narrative's extra columns.
