How much Defense spending is coded to California 52nd District (CA-52)?

USAspending.gov lists $13,836,361,934.70 in Department of Defense obligations across 3,242 awards with place of performance in California 52nd District (CA-52). Agency 097 × CA-52 is an obligation join, not an outlay. The cell is 87.3% of the district total ($15,857,519,241.51). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $4,267,847.60, a ratio only.

Does $13,836,361,934.70 include every Defense program in CA-52?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments. $13,836,361,934.70 is the combined obligation sum for agency 097 inside CA-52. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Defense and California 52nd District for parent tables. 3,242 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $13,836,361,934.70 cash already paid in California 52nd District (CA-52)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $13,836,361,934.70 as checks already cleared in California 52nd District (CA-52) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 3,242 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Where is the live Defense–CA-52 table?

California 52nd District is the district parent and Department of Defense is the agency parent. California federal spending covers California without this intersection as the headline. All spending ties lists other pairs. Those hubs are not addends. Keep both sides when citing $13,836,361,934.70. Obligations are not outlays.

Department of Defense in California 52nd District (CA-52)

USAspending.gov records $13,836,361,934.70 in Department of Defense (agency 097) obligations with place of performance in California 52nd District (CA-52), across 3,242 awards. Three thousand two hundred forty-two Defense-coded awards cover about eighty-seven percent of CA-52's district obligation total — a high-share California Defense cell, not a statewide Defense book. That pair is Department of Defense and California 52nd District (CA-52) — not California's entire federal inflow, not Department of Defense nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 87.3% of this district's published obligation total ($15,857,519,241.51). Implied average obligation is about $4,267,847.60 ($13,836,361,934.70 ÷ 3,242). Correlation is not causation.

What the Defense–CA-52 join is

Awarding agency 097 and congressional district CA-52 meet here. $13,836,361,934.70 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 California 52nd District (CA-52), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments. 3,242 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 $13,836,361,934.70 by 3,242 yields about $4,267,847.60 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 3,242 awards is a moderate-to-thick Defense file. High share reflects a district book that is mostly tagged to agency 097 in this extract, not a ranking of California districts. Do not treat CA-52's 097 cell as a synonym for every Defense account nationwide. Open California 52nd District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Defense for agency 097 without a CA-52 filter, California federal spending for every awarding agency in the California extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $13,836,361,934.70.

Awarding agency 097 as the Defense side

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $13,836,361,934.70 when crossed with California 52nd District (CA-52) place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require CA-52 geography. The district hub does not require Defense. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 3,242 awards. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: California 52nd District (CA-52) did not cause $13,836,361,934.70 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 097 × CA-52 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.

California 52nd District (CA-52) as place of performance

California 52nd District (CA-52) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list CA-52 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other California districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 097. California 52nd District (CA-52) is a numbered USAspending geography. Other California districts, including 42nd, 47th, and 48th, keep their own Defense cells.

California federal spending shows how agency 097 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $13,836,361,934.70 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split California 52nd District (CA-52) 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 $15,857,519,241.51; $13,836,361,934.70 is the Defense slice of that denominator.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $13,836,361,934.70 is that kind of sum for Department of Defense inside CA-52 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 $13,836,361,934.70 as given.

California's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 3,242-row Defense cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 3,242 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 ($4,267,847.60) is a concentration statistic, not a typical CA-52 Defense payment.

How to cite Defense in CA-52

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Defense (agency 097) obligated $13,836,361,934.70 on 3,242 awards coded to California 52nd District (CA-52). Name Department of Defense and California 52nd District (CA-52) together. Keep the obligation word. If California 52nd District or Department of Defense has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not an installation map, a platform catalog, or a named-contractor file. 87.3% of $15,857,519,241.51 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Department of Defense, California 52nd District (CA-52), $13,836,361,934.70, and 3,242 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Defense is the 097 parent without a CA-52 filter. California federal spending is the California 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 CA-52

3,242 awards is a moderate-to-thick Defense file. High share reflects a district book that is mostly tagged to agency 097 in this extract, not a ranking of California districts. Do not treat CA-52's Defense cell as California's statewide Department of Defense total. The state hub remains a parent. 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 $4,267,847.60) and the district share (87.3% of $15,857,519,241.51) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer California 52nd District and Department of Defense if the live tables moved.

Do not rank California 52nd District (CA-52) 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 $13,836,361,934.70 and 3,242 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
