A high-count HUD file on South Carolina

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, South Carolina as place-of-performance: 29,803 records summing to $1,972,075,341.90. A Department of Housing and Urban Development 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 the Atlantic as a USAspending state key. A Charlotte-coded award is NC even if a household later moves to the Upstate. PIH, CPD, FHA, and other HUD components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 086.

Twenty-nine thousand eight hundred three awards is the thickest HUD action file in this slice: many more rows than Indiana or Alaska HUD, still a record count rather than unique households. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 29,803 as 29,803 unique Housing Choice Vouchers, public-housing units, or unique tenants. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in South Carolina is the both-keys table. South Carolina federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without an SC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville are unpublished. Do not treat 29,803 as three metro wait-lists glued together. Correlation is not causation: South Carolina did not “cause” $1,972,075,341.90 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × SC only.

Award rows are not unique households

$1,972,075,341.90 does not measure Housing Choice Vouchers, public-housing units, or unique tenants. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and an SC place-of-performance tag. PIH, CPD, FHA, and other HUD components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 086.

Do not treat 29,803 awards as a census of Housing Choice Vouchers, public-housing units, or unique tenants. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If South Carolina federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $1,972,075,341.90 and 29,803, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. North Carolina and Georgia HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.
