Agency 015 meeting Washington on one table

Department of Justice as awarding agency, Washington as place-of-performance: 1,278 records summing to $677,029,652.04. A Department of Justice award coded outside WA is out. An award in Washington from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Washington (WA) excludes Oregon, Idaho, California, and Alaska. A Seattle-coded award with an Oregon place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

1,278 awards against $677,029,652.04 is a 1,278-award justice file, thicker than a thin Energy cell, still a record count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1278 as 1278 unique prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants. Department of Justice in Washington is the both-keys table. Washington federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Justice is the agency book without an WA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Western District and Eastern District folklore is not a packet split. Unique recipients stay unpublished. Do not invent U.S. Attorney offices or named facilities as extra dollars. Correlation is not causation: Washington did not cause $677,029,652.04 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 015 × WA only.

Award rows are not unique prosecutions

$677,029,652.04 does not measure prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 015 and an WA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1278 awards as a census of prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Washington federal spending or Department of Justice matched $677,029,652.04 and 1278, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DOJ joins are other pairs, not addends.
