Agency 015 overlapping Mississippi
Department of Justice as awarding agency, Mississippi as place-of-performance: 764 records summing to $620,174,428.34. A Department of Justice award coded outside MS is out. An award in Mississippi from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Mississippi (MS) excludes Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Alabama. A Jackson-coded award with a Louisiana place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
764 awards against $620,174,428.34 is a 764-award justice file, fewer rows than Arizona’s DOJ join, still a nine-figure sum. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 764 as 764 unique prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants. Department of Justice in Mississippi is the both-keys table. Mississippi federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Justice is the agency book without an MS filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Northern and Southern District folklore is unpublished. Do not invent named courthouses or prisons as extra dollars. Unique defendants stay unpublished on this 015 × MS join. Correlation is not causation: Mississippi did not cause $620,174,428.34 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 015 × MS only.
764 rows are not unique prosecutions
$620,174,428.34 does not measure prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 015 and an MS place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 764 awards as a census of prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Mississippi federal spending or Department of Justice matched $620,174,428.34 and 764, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DOJ joins are other pairs, not addends.
