Department of Education federal obligations in North Carolina

What the Education–North Carolina join is

Awarding agency 091 and place-of-performance state NC meet here. $12,020,094,193.46 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Education’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to North Carolina, and not an outlay register. Education grants, loans, and related assistance instruments can all sit under awarding agency 091. The packet does not split K-12, higher-education, or other Education accounts. 2,960 is a relatively thin action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Dividing $12,020,094,193.46 by 2,960 yields about $4.06 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line, and it is not a school-district ledger, not a student headcount, and not a test-score ranking. A second Education slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat North Carolina’s 091 cell as a synonym for every Education account.

Open Department of Education in North Carolina for the live filtered table, North Carolina federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Education for agency 091 without a North Carolina filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $12,020,094,193.46.

Awarding agency 091 as the Education side

USAspending labels awarding agency 091 as Department of Education. That code produced $12,020,094,193.46 when crossed with North Carolina place of performance. The agency-wide 091 hub does not require NC geography. The North Carolina hub does not require Education. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 2,960 awards.

This page reports education awarding activity that USAspending coded to North Carolina. Correlation is not causation: North Carolina did not “cause” $12,020,094,193.46 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 091 × NC only. Education grants, loans, and related assistance instruments can all sit under awarding agency 091. The packet does not split K-12, higher-education, or other Education accounts.

North Carolina as place of performance (NC)

North Carolina on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to North Carolina residents. Awards can list NC while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Virginia, South Carolina, Tennessee, or Georgia belong on those ties even when a Piedmont or coastal story is the same. Charlotte, Raleigh, and the rest of the counties share one NC stamp. Place of performance is NC, not a county map.

North Carolina federal spending shows how agency 091 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $12,020,094,193.46 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split North Carolina by county, metro, or congressional district. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Education.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $12,020,094,193.46 is that kind of sum for Department of Education inside North Carolina 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.

North Carolina’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 2,960-row Education cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $12,020,094,193.46 as given. Treat 2,960 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.

Keep Department of Education, North Carolina, $12,020,094,193.46, and 2,960 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Education is the 091 parent without a North Carolina filter. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a state with Education does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

Reading a thin Education file in North Carolina

2,960 is a relatively thin action file: fewer rows against $12,020,094,193.46. A small row count makes the implied mean (about $4.06 million) sensitive to one large restatement. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 2,960 as 2,960 unique projects, facilities, or contractors. One award can dominate the average; the packet has no median and no top-award list.

Thin is not empty. $12,020,094,193.46 is still the obligation sum for agency 091 inside North Carolina coding. Do not fill the gap with named sites the facts do not carry. Prefer Department of Education in North Carolina if the live table moved.

Questions

How much Education spending is coded to North Carolina?

USAspending.gov lists $12,020,094,193.46 in Department of Education obligations across 2,960 North Carolina-coded awards. Agency 091 × NC is an obligation join, not an outlay and not North Carolina’s complete federal ledger. Department of Education in North Carolina is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $4.06 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every Education program in North Carolina?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. Education grants, loans, and related assistance instruments can all sit under awarding agency 091. The packet does not split K-12, higher-education, or other Education accounts. $12,020,094,193.46 is the combined obligation sum for agency 091 inside North Carolina coding. This page will not invent a program pie. Open Department of Education in North Carolina to inspect award lines. 2,960 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $12,020,094,193.46 cash already paid in North Carolina?

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 $12,020,094,193.46 as checks already cleared in North Carolina confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 2,960 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
