HUD awards tagged to Maryland

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, Maryland as place-of-performance: 17,422 records summing to $5,285,855,844.30. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside MD is out. An award in Maryland from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Maryland (MD) excludes the District of Columbia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia. A D.C.-coded HUD award is DC.

Seventeen thousand four hundred twenty-two awards is a mid-thick HUD file: more rows than a thin fiscal list, fewer than an extreme assistance flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 17,422 as 17,422 unique households, housing authorities, or a rent index. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in Maryland is the both-keys table. Maryland federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without an MD filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Baltimore and suburban Maryland PHAs are unpublished. Beltway commuting is not a USAspending field. Correlation is not causation: Maryland did not “cause” $5,285,855,844.30 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × MD only.

17,422 rows are not 17,422 households

$5,285,855,844.30 does not measure households, housing authorities, or a rent index. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and an MD place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 17,422 awards as a census of households, housing authorities, or a rent index. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Maryland federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $5,285,855,844.30 and 17,422, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. District of Columbia, Virginia, and Pennsylvania HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.
