Department of Homeland Security in Pennsylvania

DHS awards tagged to Pennsylvania

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, Pennsylvania as place-of-performance: 1,565 records summing to $3,109,365,200.48. A Department of Homeland Security 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, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, and Ohio. A Wilmington-coded award is Delaware.

One thousand five hundred sixty-five awards is a mid-count DHS file: neither a handful of disaster vehicles nor an assistance flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,565 as 1,565 unique disaster declarations, border crossings, or named FEMA events. The overlay Department of Homeland Security in Pennsylvania is the both-keys table. Pennsylvania federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without a PA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Philadelphia and Pittsburgh port folklore is unpublished. $3,109,365,200.48 stays on 070 × PA. Correlation is not causation: Pennsylvania did not “cause” $3,109,365,200.48 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × PA only.

Not FEMA declarations or a port ranking

$3,109,365,200.48 does not measure disaster declarations, border crossings, or named FEMA events. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and a PA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,565 awards as a census of disaster declarations, border crossings, or named FEMA events. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Pennsylvania federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $3,109,365,200.48 and 1,565, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New York, New Jersey, and Ohio DHS joins are other pairs, not addends.
