Treasury awards tagged to Pennsylvania

Department of the Treasury as awarding agency, Pennsylvania as place-of-performance: 1,199 records summing to $4,363,052,272.20. A Department of the Treasury award coded outside PA is out. An award in Pennsylvania from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Pennsylvania (PA) excludes New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia. A Wilmington-coded award is Delaware.

One thousand one hundred ninety-nine awards against $4,363,052,272.20 is a moderate Treasury book, not a thin headquarters-only list. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,199 as 1,199 unique individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. The overlay Department of the Treasury in Pennsylvania is the both-keys table. Pennsylvania federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of the Treasury is the agency book without a PA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are unpublished metro shares. Assigning the cell to a named campus is a new extract. Correlation is not causation: Pennsylvania did not “cause” $4,363,052,272.20 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 020 × PA only.

Refunds are a different series

$4,363,052,272.20 does not measure individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 020 and a PA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,199 awards as a census of individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Pennsylvania federal spending or Department of the Treasury matched $4,363,052,272.20 and 1,199, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New York, New Jersey, and Ohio Treasury joins are other pairs, not addends.
