Department of Defense in Arizona 4th District (AZ-04)

What the Defense–AZ-04 join is

Awarding agency 097 and congressional district AZ-04 meet here. $16,659,583,306.89 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Defense's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Arizona 4th District (AZ-04), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments. 2,478 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not an installation map, a platform catalog, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $16,659,583,306.89 by 2,478 yields about $6,722,995.68 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 2,478 awards is a moderate Defense file: large enough that modifications can inflate the count, small enough that a few high-dollar instruments can still move the mean. Do not treat AZ-04's 097 cell as a synonym for every Defense account nationwide. Open Arizona 4th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Defense for agency 097 without a AZ-04 filter, Arizona federal spending for every awarding agency in the Arizona extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $16,659,583,306.89.

Awarding agency 097 as the Defense side

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $16,659,583,306.89 when crossed with Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require AZ-04 geography. The district hub does not require Defense. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 2,478 awards. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) did not cause $16,659,583,306.89 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 097 × AZ-04 only. This cell is not an installation map, a platform catalog, or a named-contractor 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.

Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) as place of performance

Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list AZ-04 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Arizona districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 097. Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) is a numbered place-of-performance stamp inside Arizona. Other Arizona districts keep their own Defense or non-Defense cells.

Arizona federal spending shows how agency 097 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $16,659,583,306.89 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) 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 Defense. The district-wide obligation total published here is $21,319,000,697.67; $16,659,583,306.89 is the Defense slice of that denominator.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $16,659,583,306.89 is that kind of sum for Department of Defense inside AZ-04 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 $16,659,583,306.89 as given.

Arizona's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 2,478-row Defense cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 2,478 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 ($6,722,995.68) is a concentration statistic, not a typical AZ-04 Defense payment.

Keep Department of Defense, Arizona 4th District (AZ-04), $16,659,583,306.89, and 2,478 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Defense is the 097 parent without a AZ-04 filter. Arizona federal spending is the Arizona parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Defense does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

Reading a moderate Defense file in AZ-04

2,478 awards is a moderate Defense file: large enough that modifications can inflate the count, small enough that a few high-dollar instruments can still move the mean. A high district share does not rank AZ-04 against other Arizona districts. Other Defense × district pages reuse agency 097 on different stamps. 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 $6,722,995.68) and the district share (78.1% of $21,319,000,697.67) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Arizona 4th District and Department of Defense if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) as more Defense-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 097 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 097 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $16,659,583,306.89 and 2,478 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
