General Services Administration in Wisconsin

A very thin Treasury file on Wisconsin

Department of the Treasury as awarding agency, Wisconsin as place-of-performance: 141 records summing to $3,307,726,697.41. A Department of the Treasury award coded outside WI is out. An award in Wisconsin from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Wisconsin (WI) excludes Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa. A Minneapolis-coded award is Minnesota.

One hundred forty-one awards against $3,307,726,697.41 is an extremely thin, high-mean file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 141 as 141 unique individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. The overlay Department of the Treasury in Wisconsin is the both-keys table. Wisconsin federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of the Treasury is the agency book without a WI filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Milwaukee and Madison are not published as metro cuts. One restatement can move the implied mean quickly. Correlation is not causation: Wisconsin did not “cause” $3,307,726,697.41 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 020 × WI only.

141 rows are not 141 refunds

$3,307,726,697.41 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 WI place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 141 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 Wisconsin federal spending or Department of the Treasury matched $3,307,726,697.41 and 141, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan Treasury joins are other pairs, not addends.
