The Department of Homeland Security shows $2,202,837,210.21 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Kentucky, across 654 awards. The pair is Homeland Security plus Kentucky, not a gold-vault budget. Awarding-agency 070 and Kentucky (KY) are the pair. Six hundred fifty-four awards against $2,202,837,210.21 is a thinner DHS file: fewer rows than a mid-count Hawaii cell, a higher implied mean. The implied mean is about $3.37 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

DHS awards tagged to Kentucky
Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, Kentucky as place-of-performance: 654 records summing to $2,202,837,210.21. A Department of Homeland Security award coded outside KY is out. An award in Kentucky from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Kentucky (KY) excludes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. A Cincinnati-coded award is OH, not this cell. FEMA, CBP, Coast Guard, TSA, and other DHS components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 070.
Six hundred fifty-four awards against $2,202,837,210.21 is a thinner DHS file: fewer rows than a mid-count Hawaii cell, a higher implied mean. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 654 as 654 unique FEMA declarations, unique contractors, or named installations. The overlay Department of Homeland Security in Kentucky is the both-keys table. Kentucky federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without a KY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Louisville, Lexington, and Fort Knox folklore are unpublished. Do not treat 654 as a list of unique Kentucky facilities. Correlation is not causation: Kentucky did not “cause” $2,202,837,210.21 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × KY only.
Fort Knox is not a USAspending field here
$2,202,837,210.21 does not measure FEMA declarations, unique contractors, or named installations. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and a KY place-of-performance tag. FEMA, CBP, Coast Guard, TSA, and other DHS components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 070.
Do not treat 654 awards as a census of FEMA declarations, unique contractors, or named installations. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Kentucky federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $2,202,837,210.21 and 654, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Ohio, Tennessee, and Indiana DHS joins are other pairs, not addends.
