Department of Veterans Affairs in New Hampshire

VA awards tagged to New Hampshire

Department of Veterans Affairs as awarding agency, New Hampshire as place-of-performance: 5,102 records summing to $2,505,955,691.83. A Department of Veterans Affairs award coded outside NH is out. An award in New Hampshire from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New Hampshire (NH) excludes Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York. A Boston-coded award is Massachusetts even if a veteran crosses for care.

Five thousand one hundred two awards is a mid-count VA file: many more rows than a thin Energy cell, far fewer than a USDA assistance flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 5,102 as 5,102 unique enrolled veterans, hospital beds, or disability ratings. The overlay Department of Veterans Affairs in New Hampshire is the both-keys table. New Hampshire federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Veterans Affairs is the agency book without an NH filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Manchester-versus-White-Mountains clinic folklore is not a packet split. The dollar total stays statewide. Correlation is not causation: New Hampshire did not “cause” $2,505,955,691.83 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 036 × NH only.

Award rows are not unique veterans

$2,505,955,691.83 does not measure enrolled veterans, hospital beds, or disability ratings. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 036 and an NH place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 5,102 awards as a census of enrolled veterans, hospital beds, or disability ratings. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New Hampshire federal spending or Department of Veterans Affairs matched $2,505,955,691.83 and 5,102, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts VA joins are other pairs, not addends.
