USDA obligations in Texas 13th District (TX-13)

USDA obligations coded to Texas 13th District (TX-13)

Awarding agency 012 and congressional district TX-13 meet here. $899,600,949.54 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 Texas 13th District (TX-13), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split USDA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. 21,797 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $899,600,949.54 by 21,797 yields about $41,271.78 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 21,797 rows is a thick USDA file. Volume pulls the implied mean down. Unique recipients remain unpublished. Share stays modest because the district book is large. Do not treat TX-13’s 012 cell as a synonym for every USDA account nationwide. Open Texas 13th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Agriculture for agency 012 without a TX-13 filter, Texas federal spending for every awarding agency in the Texas extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $899,600,949.54.

What USDA contributes to this pair

USAspending labels awarding agency 012 as Department of Agriculture. That code produced $899,600,949.54 when crossed with Texas 13th District (TX-13) place of performance. The agency-wide 012 hub does not require TX-13 geography. The district hub does not require USDA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 21,797 awards. The packet does not split USDA programs or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Texas 13th District (TX-13) did not “cause” $899,600,949.54 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 012 × TX-13 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 Texas statewide totals

Texas 13th District (TX-13) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list TX-13 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 012. Texas 13th District (TX-13) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 012. Texas 13th District (TX-13) is not TX-10’s NSF cell or TX-30’s HUD cell. Same state, different place-of-performance stamps, different awarding agencies.

Texas federal spending shows how agency 012 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $899,600,949.54 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Texas 13th District (TX-13) 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 $35,485,144,728.31; $899,600,949.54 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. $899,600,949.54 is that kind of sum for Department of Agriculture inside TX-13 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 $899,600,949.54 as given.

Texas’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 21,797-row USDA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 21,797 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 ($41,271.78) is a concentration statistic, not a typical TX-13 USDA payment.

Live tables versus this snapshot

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Agriculture (agency 012) obligated $899,600,949.54 on 21,797 awards coded to Texas 13th District (TX-13). Name Department of Agriculture and Texas 13th District (TX-13) together. Keep the obligation word. If Texas 13th 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. 2.5% of $35,485,144,728.31 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Department of Agriculture, Texas 13th District (TX-13), $899,600,949.54, and 21,797 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Agriculture is the 012 parent without a TX-13 filter. Texas federal spending is the Texas 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

21,797 rows is a thick USDA file. Volume pulls the implied mean down. Unique recipients remain unpublished. Share stays modest because the district book is large. 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 $41,271.78) and the district share (2.5% of $35,485,144,728.31) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 13th District and Department of Agriculture if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Texas 13th District (TX-13) 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 $899,600,949.54 and 21,797 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 Texas 13th District (TX-13)?

USAspending.gov lists $899,600,949.54 in Department of Agriculture obligations across 21,797 awards with place of performance in Texas 13th District (TX-13). Agency 012 × TX-13 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Texas’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 2.5% of the district’s published total ($35,485,144,728.31). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $41,271.78, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $899,600,949.54 include every USDA program in TX-13?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split USDA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. $899,600,949.54 is the combined obligation sum for agency 012 inside TX-13 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Agriculture and Texas 13th District to inspect parent tables. 21,797 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $899,600,949.54 cash already paid in Texas 13th District (TX-13)?

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 $899,600,949.54 as checks already cleared in Texas 13th District (TX-13) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 21,797 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

What share of TX-13 obligations is agency 012?

Agency 012 accounts for 2.5% of $35,485,144,728.31 in district-wide obligations on this packet. That share is $899,600,949.54 ÷ $35,485,144,728.31. It is not a ranking of Texas districts and not an outlay share. Other awarding agencies occupy the remaining district total on other ties.
