A high-count HUD file on Rhode Island

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, Rhode Island as place-of-performance: 9,402 records summing to $1,569,855,093.53. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside RI is out. An award in Rhode Island from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Rhode Island (RI) excludes Massachusetts and Connecticut. A Boston-coded award is Massachusetts.

Nine thousand four hundred two awards is a thick HUD file for a small state. Volume can rise on recurring assistance without each row being a new household. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 9,402 as 9,402 unique vouchers, unique public housing authorities, or home prices. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in Rhode Island is the both-keys table. Rhode Island federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without an RI filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

A small implied mean is what a large row count does to a $1,569,855,093.53 numerator. It is not a typical voucher payment. Correlation is not causation: Rhode Island did not cause $1,569,855,093.53 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × RI only.

Award rows are not unique households

$1,569,855,093.53 does not measure vouchers, unique public housing authorities, or home prices. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and an RI place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 9,402 awards as a census of vouchers, unique public housing authorities, or home prices. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Rhode Island federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $1,569,855,093.53 and 9,402, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Massachusetts and Connecticut HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.
