A very thin Treasury file on Mississippi

Department of the Treasury as awarding agency, Mississippi as place-of-performance: 163 records summing to $2,341,218,658.06. A Department of the Treasury 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 New Orleans-coded award is LA even if a payee later banks in Jackson. IRS, Fiscal Service, and other Treasury bureaus are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 020.

One hundred sixty-three awards against $2,341,218,658.06 is a very thin, high-mean file. A handful of fiscal vehicles can dominate the dollar total. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 163 as 163 unique individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. The overlay Department of the Treasury in Mississippi is the both-keys table. Mississippi federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of the Treasury is the agency book without an MS filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Jackson is not published as a metro cut. Do not treat 163 as a list of unique Mississippi taxpayers. Correlation is not causation: Mississippi did not “cause” $2,341,218,658.06 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 020 × MS only.

Refunds are a different series

$2,341,218,658.06 does not measure individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 020 and an MS place-of-performance tag. IRS, Fiscal Service, and other Treasury bureaus are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 020.

Do not treat 163 awards as a census of individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Mississippi federal spending or Department of the Treasury matched $2,341,218,658.06 and 163, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Louisiana, Alabama, and Tennessee Treasury joins are other pairs, not addends.
