General Services Administration in Mississippi

A thin EPA file on Mississippi

Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency, Mississippi as place-of-performance: 119 records summing to $1,188,299,012.67. An Environmental Protection Agency 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 Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee. A Louisiana-coded EPA award is not this cell.

One hundred nineteen awards against $1,188,299,012.67 is a thin, high-mean EPA file, far thinner than North Carolina EPA’s 719 rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 119 as 119 unique Superfund sites, unique permits, or water-quality scores. Environmental Protection Agency in Mississippi is the both-keys table. Mississippi federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Environmental Protection Agency is the agency book without an MS filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This Mississippi EPA join is not the Mississippi NASA cell (agency 080). Keep 068 and 080 apart. Gulf cleanup folklore is unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Mississippi did not cause $1,188,299,012.67 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 068 × MS only. Campaign contributions do not fund these USAspending awards.

119 rows are not 119 Superfund sites

$1,188,299,012.67 does not measure Superfund sites, unique permits, or water-quality scores. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 068 and an MS place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 119 awards as a census of Superfund sites, unique permits, or water-quality scores. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Mississippi federal spending or Environmental Protection Agency matched $1,188,299,012.67 and 119, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Louisiana, Alabama, and the North Carolina EPA join in this slice are other pairs, not addends.
