HUD awards tagged to North Carolina

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, North Carolina as place-of-performance: 29,296 records summing to $5,497,809,985.72. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside NC is out. An award in North Carolina from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related.

Twenty-nine thousand two hundred ninety-six 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 29,296 as 29,296 unique households, housing authorities, or a rent index. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in North Carolina is the both-keys table. North Carolina federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without an NC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Charlotte, Raleigh, and rural PHAs are unpublished. Voucher versus block-grant shares are not in the facts. Correlation is not causation: North Carolina did not “cause” $5,497,809,985.72 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × NC only.

29,296 rows are not 29,296 households

$5,497,809,985.72 does not measure households, housing authorities, or a rent index. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and an NC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 29,296 awards as a census of households, housing authorities, or a rent index. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If North Carolina federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $5,497,809,985.72 and 29,296, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.
