HUD awards tagged to Kentucky

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, Kentucky as place-of-performance: 12,208 records summing to $2,625,952,590.63. A Department of Housing and Urban Development 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 Ohio.

Twelve thousand two hundred eight records is a thick HUD assistance file. Volume can rise on recurring rows without each row being a new household. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 12,208 as 12,208 unique housing units, voucher households, or named public housing authorities. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in Kentucky is the both-keys table. Kentucky federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without a KY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Louisville, Lexington, and eastern Kentucky share one KY stamp. A county table would be a different extract. Correlation is not causation: Kentucky did not “cause” $2,625,952,590.63 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × KY only.

Not a census of voucher households

$2,625,952,590.63 does not measure housing units, voucher households, or named public housing authorities. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and a KY place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 12,208 awards as a census of housing units, voucher households, or named public housing authorities. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Kentucky federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $2,625,952,590.63 and 12,208, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Ohio, Tennessee, and Indiana HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.
