Department of Homeland Security in South Carolina

DHS awards tagged to South Carolina

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, South Carolina as place-of-performance: 1,308 records summing to $2,683,024,016.39. A Department of Homeland Security award coded outside SC is out. An award in South Carolina from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. South Carolina (SC) excludes North Carolina, Georgia, and any Atlantic tag that is not SC. A Savannah-coded award is Georgia.

One thousand three hundred eight awards is a moderate DHS book: thicker than a thin 600-row Homeland file, thinner than a HUD assistance flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,308 as 1,308 unique disaster declarations, FEMA applicants, or port throughput. The overlay Department of Homeland Security in South Carolina is the both-keys table. South Carolina federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without an SC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Charleston, Columbia, and the Grand Strand share one SC stamp. A FEMA-versus-CBP split is unpublished. Correlation is not causation: South Carolina did not “cause” $2,683,024,016.39 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × SC only.

Not a hurricane or port-throughput census

$2,683,024,016.39 does not measure disaster declarations, FEMA applicants, or port throughput. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and an SC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,308 awards as a census of disaster declarations, FEMA applicants, or port throughput. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If South Carolina federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $2,683,024,016.39 and 1,308, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. North Carolina and Georgia DHS joins are other pairs, not addends.
