The Department of Justice shows $1,698,860,465.13 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to New York, across 4,256 awards. Awarding-agency 015 and New York (NY) are the pair. Four thousand two hundred fifty-six awards is a mid-thick DOJ book: more rows than a thin Energy cell, still a record count rather than unique recipients. The implied mean is about $399,168 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

DOJ awards tagged to New York
Department of Justice as awarding agency, New York as place-of-performance: 4,256 records summing to $1,698,860,465.13. A Department of Justice award coded outside NY is out. An award in New York from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New York (NY) excludes New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. A Newark-coded award is New Jersey even if the matter is heard in Manhattan.
Four thousand two hundred fifty-six awards is a mid-thick DOJ book: more rows than a thin Energy cell, still a record count rather than unique recipients. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 4,256 as 4,256 unique indictments, unique defendants, or named U.S. Attorney offices. The overlay Department of Justice in New York is the both-keys table. New York federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Justice is the agency book without an NY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
COPS, OJP, BOP, and litigating divisions can share 015. This packet does not isolate a Southern District or a prison facility inside $1,698,860,465.13. Correlation is not causation: New York did not cause $1,698,860,465.13 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 015 × NY only.
Not SDNY folklore or an indictment count
$1,698,860,465.13 does not measure indictments, unique defendants, or named U.S. Attorney offices. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 015 and an NY place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 4,256 awards as a census of indictments, unique defendants, or named U.S. Attorney offices. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New York federal spending or Department of Justice matched $1,698,860,465.13 and 4,256, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania DOJ joins are other pairs, not addends.
