Department of Defense obligations in Rhode Island 1st District (RI-01)

The DoD × RI-01 cell on USAspending.gov is $3,791,092,993.50 in obligations across 1,591 awards. One thousand five hundred ninety-one Defense-coded awards equal about fifty percent of RI-01’s district obligation total, a half-and-half DoD column inside a seven-point-six-billion-dollar district base. That pair is Department of Defense and Rhode Island 1st District (RI-01) — not Rhode Island’s entire federal inflow, not Department of Defense nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 49.8% of this district’s published obligation total ($7,615,401,204.26). Implied average obligation is about $2,382,836.58 ($3,791,092,993.50 ÷ 1,591). Correlation is not causation.

A place-of-performance join: DoD × RI-01

Awarding agency 097 and congressional district RI-01 meet here. $3,791,092,993.50 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 Rhode Island 1st District (RI-01), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments. 1,591 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a base census, a troop roster, a weapons inventory, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $3,791,092,993.50 by 1,591 yields about $2,382,836.58 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 1,591 awards is a thick Defense file. Volume can include modifications. Unique contractors remain unpublished. Do not treat RI-01’s 097 cell as a synonym for every DoD account nationwide. Open Rhode Island 1st District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Defense for agency 097 without the RI-01 filter, Rhode Island federal spending for every awarding agency in the Rhode Island extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $3,791,092,993.50.

Department of Defense as awarding agency, not as a named-vendor list

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $3,791,092,993.50 when crossed with Rhode Island 1st District (RI-01) place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require RI-01 geography. The district hub does not require DoD. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 1,591 awards. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Rhode Island 1st District (RI-01) did not cause $3,791,092,993.50 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 097 × RI-01 only. It is not a base census, a troop roster, 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.

Place of performance for Rhode Island 1st District (RI-01)

Rhode Island 1st District (RI-01) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list RI-01 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Rhode Island districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 097. Rhode Island 1st District (RI-01) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Rhode Island. Other Rhode Island districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 097. Rhode Island 1st District (RI-01) is a numbered place-of-performance code inside Rhode Island. Other Rhode Island districts are not this join. The packet does not name installations.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $3,791,092,993.50 is that kind of sum for Department of Defense inside RI-01 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 $3,791,092,993.50 as given.

Rhode Island’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1,591-row DoD cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 1,591 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 ($2,382,836.58) is a concentration statistic, not a typical RI-01 DoD payment.

What a complete citation includes

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Defense (agency 097) obligated $3,791,092,993.50 on 1,591 awards coded to Rhode Island 1st District (RI-01). Name Department of Defense and Rhode Island 1st District (RI-01) together. Keep the obligation word. If Rhode Island 1st 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 troop roster, a weapons inventory, or a named-contractor file. 49.8% of $7,615,401,204.26 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Using 49.8% and $2,382,836.58 without overclaiming

1,591 awards is a thick Defense file. Volume can include modifications. Unique contractors remain 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 $2,382,836.58) and the district share (49.8% of $7,615,401,204.26) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Rhode Island 1st District and Department of Defense if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Rhode Island 1st District (RI-01) as more DoD-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 $3,791,092,993.50 and 1,591 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
