USDA obligations in Delaware At-Large District (DE-00)

The Delaware At-Large District (DE-00) filter on Agriculture

Awarding agency 012 and congressional district DE-00 meet here. $839,446,154.04 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Agriculture’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Delaware At-Large District (DE-00), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split USDA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. 1,302 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a farm census, a crop-acreage file, or a named-grantee file.

Dividing $839,446,154.04 by 1,302 yields about $644,735.91 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 1,302 awards is a moderate USDA file. Because DE-00 is at-large, the place-of-performance stamp is statewide in the district sense, still not a county map. Do not treat DE-00’s 012 cell as a synonym for every USDA account nationwide. Open Delaware At-Large District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Agriculture for agency 012 without a DE-00 filter, Delaware federal spending for every awarding agency in the Delaware extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $839,446,154.04.

The Department of Agriculture awarding-agency rollup

USAspending labels awarding agency 012 as Department of Agriculture. That code produced $839,446,154.04 when crossed with Delaware At-Large District (DE-00) place of performance. The agency-wide 012 hub does not require DE-00 geography. The district hub does not require USDA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 1,302 awards. The packet does not split USDA programs or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Delaware At-Large District (DE-00) did not “cause” $839,446,154.04 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 012 × DE-00 only. It is not a farm census, a crop-acreage file, or a named-grantee file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Reading the DE-00 stamp

Delaware At-Large District (DE-00) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list DE-00 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Delaware districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 012. Delaware At-Large District (DE-00) is Delaware’s at-large congressional geography in the USAspending district field, so the stamp covers the state as one district rather than a numbered slice. Delaware At-Large District (DE-00) is the whole-state congressional geography in USAspending’s district field for Delaware. It is not district 90 or 98, which this harvest omits as multi/non-voting placeholders.

Delaware federal spending shows how agency 012 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $839,446,154.04 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Delaware At-Large District (DE-00) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Agriculture. The district-wide obligation total published here is $22,076,088,112.34; $839,446,154.04 is the USDA slice of that denominator.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $839,446,154.04 is that kind of sum for Department of Agriculture inside DE-00 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $839,446,154.04 as given.

Delaware’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1,302-row USDA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 1,302 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($644,735.91) is a concentration statistic, not a typical DE-00 USDA payment.

Row count versus dollar concentration

1,302 awards is a moderate USDA file. Because DE-00 is at-large, the place-of-performance stamp is statewide in the district sense, still not a county map. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $644,735.91) and the district share (3.8% of $22,076,088,112.34) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Delaware At-Large District and Department of Agriculture if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much USDA spending is coded to Delaware At-Large District (DE-00)?

USAspending.gov lists $839,446,154.04 in Department of Agriculture obligations across 1,302 awards with place of performance in Delaware At-Large District (DE-00). Agency 012 × DE-00 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Delaware’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 3.8% of the district’s published total ($22,076,088,112.34). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $644,735.91, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $839,446,154.04 include every USDA program in DE-00?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split USDA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. $839,446,154.04 is the combined obligation sum for agency 012 inside DE-00 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Agriculture and Delaware At-Large District to inspect parent tables. 1,302 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $839,446,154.04 cash already paid in Delaware At-Large District (DE-00)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $839,446,154.04 as checks already cleared in Delaware At-Large District (DE-00) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 1,302 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Why is the implied average $644,735.91 not a typical award?

The average is $839,446,154.04 divided by 1,302 awards, about $644,735.91. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
