A thin Treasury file on a Utah tag

Department of the Treasury as awarding agency, Utah as place-of-performance: 476 records summing to $3,261,788,280.17. A Department of the Treasury award coded outside UT is out. An award in Utah from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Utah (UT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. A Las Vegas-coded award is Nevada.

Four hundred seventy-six awards against $3,261,788,280.17 is a thin, high-mean file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 476 as 476 unique individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. The overlay Department of the Treasury in Utah is the both-keys table. Utah federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of the Treasury is the agency book without a UT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Ogden campus folklore is unpublished as a share of $3,261,788,280.17. Assigning the cell to a named campus is a new extract. Correlation is not causation: Utah did not “cause” $3,261,788,280.17 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 020 × UT only.

Refunds are a different series

$3,261,788,280.17 does not measure individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 020 and a UT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 476 awards as a census of individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Utah federal spending or Department of the Treasury matched $3,261,788,280.17 and 476, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Colorado, Nevada, and Idaho Treasury joins are other pairs, not addends.
