General Services Administration in Mississippi

A high-count HUD file on Mississippi

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, Mississippi as place-of-performance: 11,682 records summing to $1,521,389,953.98. A Department of Housing and Urban Development 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, Tennessee, and Arkansas. A New Orleans-coded award is Louisiana.

Eleven thousand six hundred eighty-two awards is a thick HUD file. Volume can rise on recurring assistance without each row being a new household. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 11,682 as 11,682 unique vouchers, unique public housing authorities, or home prices. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in Mississippi is the both-keys table. Mississippi federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without an MS filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

A small implied mean is what a large row count does to a $1,521,389,953.98 numerator. Jackson versus the Coast is not a published split. Correlation is not causation: Mississippi did not cause $1,521,389,953.98 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × MS only.

Award rows are not unique households

$1,521,389,953.98 does not measure vouchers, unique public housing authorities, or home prices. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and an MS place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 11,682 awards as a census of vouchers, unique public housing authorities, or home prices. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Mississippi federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $1,521,389,953.98 and 11,682, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Alabama, Louisiana, and Arkansas HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.
