Department of Health and Human Services in Mississippi

The thinnest HHS slice among three Mississippi pairs

Mississippi appears with Defense, SSA, and HHS in this inventory. This page is 075 × MS. $29,693,609,656.65 is the HHS obligation sum. 1,477 is the HHS award count. One thousand four hundred seventy-seven records under $29.69 billion produces a mean near $20.10 million. A handful of large instruments can dominate almost the entire total.

Do not add this HHS join to Mississippi’s other awarding-agency overlays. The packet does not publish a combined Mississippi figure.

Keep $29,693,609,656.65 and 1,477 in the same sentence. Either figure alone invites a story the join does not support: a single torrent, or a caseload. Together they are an awards aggregate. The average is their ratio, not a typical row. The overlay is where mix would be visible.

Agency 075 without Mississippi

The Department of Health and Human Services hub drops the MS filter and will not equal $29,693,609,656.65. Overlay /states/ms/agencies/075/ is the both-keys table for 1,477 awards. The Mississippi hub without 075 includes 097 and 028.

Parent hubs are supposed to be larger. If they matched $29,693,609,656.65 and 1,477, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Use the parents when one key should drop.

Questions

How much has HHS obligated in Mississippi?

USAspending records $29,693,609,656.65 in obligations for agency 075 with Mississippi place of performance, on 1,477 awards. That is the HHS–Mississippi join only. The pair is awarding agency 075 (Department of Health and Human Services) and place-of-performance Mississippi. It is not Department of Health and Human Services nationwide and not Mississippi from every awarding agency.

Why is the average about $20.10 million?

Because $29,693,609,656.65 is divided by only 1,477 awards. A thin file raises the mean. The mean is not a typical grant. That ratio uses only $29,693,609,656.65 and 1,477 from the packet. A mean hides mix: a few large instruments can sit beside many smaller ones.

Does this include DoD or SSA in Mississippi?

No. Those joins use agencies 097 and 028. This page is Department of Health and Human Services 075: $29,693,609,656.65 on 1,477 awards. Only place-of-performance Mississippi plus awarding agency 075 (Department of Health and Human Services) enter $29,693,609,656.65. Adjacent state codes are other filters, if they exist as ties at all.

Are these outlays?

No. The aggregate is obligations. The 1,477 figure is an award-record count. USAspending’s source note for this aggregate is that obligations are not outlays. Place of performance Mississippi is a geography tag, not a roster of residents, vendors, or named facilities.
