Department of Justice in Tennessee

Justice awards tagged to Tennessee

This page is a join of two USAspending.gov fields: awarding agency Department of Justice (code 015) and place-of-performance Tennessee. The extract sums to $1,385,545,938.89 on 2,169 awards. Those facts describe a coding intersection. They do not show that Department of Justice spending caused Tennessee outcomes, or that Tennessee caused the federal award book.

The pair is not a Tennessee crime ranking or a count of federal inmates. Correlation of an agency label with a state code is not causation. Place-of-performance can follow a U.S. Attorney’s office, a detention site, a grant recipient, or a contractor. Work tagged to Tennessee can involve parties elsewhere, and Tennessee work can be coded to another state.

FBI Uniform Crime Reports, state court caseloads, and prison-population surveys are other series. Mixing any of those series with $1,385,545,938.89 leaves the USAspending award file. The 2,169 figure counts award records, including modifications present in the extract, not unique people, firms, or facilities.

Twenty-two hundred rows under $1.39 billion

Two thousand one hundred sixty-nine awards under a $1.39 billion book is a midsize justice tape. Dividing $1,385,545,938.89 by 2,169 awards yields an implied mean near $638,795. That quotient is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical award size and not a median. A few large vehicles can pull the average while many smaller rows sit below it.

Volume and dollars are different columns. Cite both 2,169 and $1,385,545,938.89. USAspending.gov is the source. SpendingVault does not recast $638,795 as a product schedule or a beneficiary payment.

Later ingests can revise $1,385,545,938.89 and 2,169. This prose is a packet snapshot. The overlay is the live table. If those two disagree, use the overlay. Keep the obligation label so the cell is not read as cash already paid in Tennessee.
