Department of Defense obligations in Michigan 10th District (MI-10)
$17,594,078,050.07 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum for awarding agency 097 (Department of Defense) inside Michigan 10th District (MI-10), on 4,710 award records. Four thousand seven hundred ten Defense-coded awards cover about three-quarters of MI-10’s district obligation total, a majority Department of Defense cell that is not Michigan statewide Defense spending. That pair is Department of Defense and Michigan 10th District (MI-10) — not Michigan’s entire federal inflow, not Department of Defense nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 75.5% of this district’s published obligation total ($23,302,769,428). Implied average obligation is about $3,735,473.05 ($17,594,078,050.07 ÷ 4,710). Correlation is not causation.

Department of Defense and Michigan 10th District (MI-10) as a USAspending pair
Awarding agency 097 and congressional district MI-10 meet here. $17,594,078,050.07 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 Michigan 10th District (MI-10), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DoD components or contract versus assistance instruments. 4,710 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a base census, a weapons inventory, or a named-contractor file.
Dividing $17,594,078,050.07 by 4,710 yields about $3,735,473.05 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 4,710 awards is a thick Defense file. Volume pulls the implied mean down relative to thinner Defense joins such as CA-03. Do not treat MI-10’s 097 cell as a synonym for every Defense account nationwide. Open Michigan 10th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Defense for agency 097 without the MI-10 filter, Michigan federal spending for every awarding agency in the Michigan extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $17,594,078,050.07.
How USAspending labels Department of Defense
USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $17,594,078,050.07 when crossed with Michigan 10th District (MI-10) place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require MI-10 geography. The district hub does not require Defense. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 4,710 awards. The packet does not split DoD components or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: Michigan 10th District (MI-10) did not “cause” $17,594,078,050.07 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 097 × MI-10 only. It is not a base census, a weapons inventory, 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.
Geography is MI-10, not a facility map
Michigan 10th District (MI-10) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list MI-10 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Michigan districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 097. Michigan 10th District (MI-10) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Michigan. Other Michigan districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 097. Michigan 10th District (MI-10) is a numbered USAspending geography inside Michigan. Other Michigan districts are not added into this cell.
Michigan federal spending shows how agency 097 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $17,594,078,050.07 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Michigan 10th District (MI-10) 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 $23,302,769,428; $17,594,078,050.07 is the Defense slice of that denominator.
Commitment totals versus cash paid
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $17,594,078,050.07 is that kind of sum for Department of Defense inside MI-10 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 $17,594,078,050.07 as given.
Keeping both sides of the 097 × MI-10 pair
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Defense (agency 097) obligated $17,594,078,050.07 on 4,710 awards coded to Michigan 10th District (MI-10). Name Department of Defense and Michigan 10th District (MI-10) together. Keep the obligation word. If Michigan 10th District or Department of Defense has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a base census, a weapons inventory, or a named-contractor file. 75.5% of $23,302,769,428 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Share, mean, and what they are not
4,710 awards is a thick Defense file. Volume pulls the implied mean down relative to thinner Defense joins such as CA-03. 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 $3,735,473.05) and the district share (75.5% of $23,302,769,428) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Michigan 10th District and Department of Defense if the live tables moved.
Do not rank Michigan 10th District (MI-10) 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 $17,594,078,050.07 and 4,710 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
Questions
- How much Defense spending is coded to Michigan 10th District (MI-10)?

Agency 097 × MI-10 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Michigan’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 75.5% of the district’s published total ($23,302,769,428). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $3,735,473.05, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $17,594,078,050.07 include every Defense program in MI-10?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split DoD components or contract versus assistance instruments. $17,594,078,050.07 is the combined obligation sum for agency 097 inside MI-10 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Defense and Michigan 10th District to inspect parent tables. 4,710 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $17,594,078,050.07 cash already paid in Michigan 10th District (MI-10)?
- 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 $17,594,078,050.07 as checks already cleared in Michigan 10th District (MI-10) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 4,710 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

- Michigan federal spending is the Michigan statewide extract across awarding agencies. $17,594,078,050.07 is the Department of Defense amount inside Michigan 10th District (MI-10) only, not the statewide Defense total. Adding Michigan federal spending to $17,594,078,050.07 double-counts. Agency 097 nationwide lives on Department of Defense. This join is 097 × MI-10.
USAspending.gov congressional district place-of-performance joined to awarding agency. District 90/98 (multi/non-voting placeholders) are omitted. Obligations are not outlays.
