USDA obligations in Oregon 2nd District (OR-02)

USDA obligations coded to Oregon 2nd District (OR-02)

Awarding agency 012 and congressional district OR-02 meet here. $787,227,417.90 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 Oregon 2nd District (OR-02), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split USDA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. 12,245 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $787,227,417.90 by 12,245 yields about $64,289.70 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 12,245 awards is a thick USDA file, far denser than OR-06’s 45 Commerce rows. Volume pulls the implied mean down. Recipients stay unpublished. Do not treat OR-02’s 012 cell as a synonym for every USDA account nationwide. Open Oregon 2nd District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Agriculture for agency 012 without a OR-02 filter, Oregon federal spending for every awarding agency in the Oregon extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $787,227,417.90.

What USDA contributes to this pair

USAspending labels awarding agency 012 as Department of Agriculture. That code produced $787,227,417.90 when crossed with Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) place of performance. The agency-wide 012 hub does not require OR-02 geography. The district hub does not require USDA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 12,245 awards. The packet does not split USDA programs or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) did not “cause” $787,227,417.90 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 012 × OR-02 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.

District geography versus Oregon statewide totals

Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list OR-02 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Oregon districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 012. Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Oregon. Other Oregon districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 012. Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) is a numbered place-of-performance stamp, distinct from OR-06. Same state, different awarding-agency pair, different row count.

Oregon federal spending shows how agency 012 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $787,227,417.90 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) 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 $8,529,330,805; $787,227,417.90 is the USDA slice of that denominator.

Why this is not an outlay register

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $787,227,417.90 is that kind of sum for Department of Agriculture inside OR-02 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 $787,227,417.90 as given.

Oregon’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 12,245-row USDA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 12,245 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 ($64,289.70) is a concentration statistic, not a typical OR-02 USDA payment.

Live tables versus this snapshot

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Agriculture (agency 012) obligated $787,227,417.90 on 12,245 awards coded to Oregon 2nd District (OR-02). Name Department of Agriculture and Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) together. Keep the obligation word. If Oregon 2nd District or Department of Agriculture has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a farm census, a crop-acreage file, or a named-grantee file. 9.2% of $8,529,330,805 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Department of Agriculture, Oregon 2nd District (OR-02), $787,227,417.90, and 12,245 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Agriculture is the 012 parent without a OR-02 filter. Oregon federal spending is the Oregon parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with USDA does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

What this packet refuses to infer

12,245 awards is a thick USDA file, far denser than OR-06’s 45 Commerce rows. Volume pulls the implied mean down. Recipients stay unpublished. 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 $64,289.70) and the district share (9.2% of $8,529,330,805) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Oregon 2nd District and Department of Agriculture if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) as more USDA-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 012 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 012 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $787,227,417.90 and 12,245 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much USDA spending is coded to Oregon 2nd District (OR-02)?

USAspending.gov lists $787,227,417.90 in Department of Agriculture obligations across 12,245 awards with place of performance in Oregon 2nd District (OR-02). Agency 012 × OR-02 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Oregon’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 9.2% of the district’s published total ($8,529,330,805). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $64,289.70, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $787,227,417.90 include every USDA program in OR-02?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split USDA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. $787,227,417.90 is the combined obligation sum for agency 012 inside OR-02 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Agriculture and Oregon 2nd District to inspect parent tables. 12,245 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $787,227,417.90 cash already paid in Oregon 2nd District (OR-02)?

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 $787,227,417.90 as checks already cleared in Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 12,245 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

What share of OR-02 obligations is agency 012?

Agency 012 accounts for 9.2% of $8,529,330,805 in district-wide obligations on this packet. That share is $787,227,417.90 ÷ $8,529,330,805. It is not a ranking of Oregon districts and not an outlay share. Other awarding agencies occupy the remaining district total on other ties.
