Department of Education federal obligations in Ohio

USAspending.gov records $9,735,012,690.94 in Department of Education obligations under awarding agency 091 with place of performance in Ohio, across 3,521 awards. Ohio’s Education cell is a mid-file case in this slice: 3,521 awards against a $9.74 billion obligation sum. That arithmetic sits between thin Energy-style books and the thickest USDA action files. The pair is Department of Education and Ohio — not Ohio’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $2.76 million ($9,735,012,690.94 ÷ 3,521).

Key figures

  • Education in Ohio: $9,735,012,690.94 across 3,521 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $2.76 million per record, not a typical award size.
  • Agency 091 × OH is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a program split.
  • Cite USAspending.gov; quote Department of Education in Ohio if the live table moved.
  • Ohio federal spending and Department of Education are parents, not amounts to add into $9,735,012,690.94.

What the Education–Ohio join is

Awarding agency 091 and place-of-performance state OH meet here. $9,735,012,690.94 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 Ohio, 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. 3,521 is a mid-size action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Dividing $9,735,012,690.94 by 3,521 yields about $2.76 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 Ohio’s 091 cell as a synonym for every Education account.

Open Department of Education in Ohio for the live filtered table, Ohio federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Education for agency 091 without a Ohio filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $9,735,012,690.94.

Awarding agency 091 as the Education side

USAspending labels awarding agency 091 as Department of Education. That code produced $9,735,012,690.94 when crossed with Ohio place of performance. The agency-wide 091 hub does not require OH geography. The Ohio hub does not require Education. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 3,521 awards.

This page reports education awarding activity that USAspending coded to Ohio. Correlation is not causation: Ohio did not “cause” $9,735,012,690.94 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 091 × OH 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.

Ohio as place of performance (OH)

Ohio on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Ohio residents. Awards can list OH while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, or Michigan belong on those ties even when a Great Lakes or Appalachian story is the same. Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and the rest of the counties share one OH stamp. Place of performance is OH, not a county map.

Ohio federal spending shows how agency 091 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $9,735,012,690.94 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Ohio 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. $9,735,012,690.94 is that kind of sum for Department of Education inside Ohio 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.

Ohio’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 3,521-row Education cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $9,735,012,690.94 as given. Treat 3,521 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.

How to cite Education in Ohio

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Education (agency 091) obligated $9,735,012,690.94 on 3,521 awards coded to Ohio. Name Department of Education and Ohio together. Keep the obligation word. If Department of Education in Ohio has refreshed, quote the overlay over this snapshot. The pair is not a school-district ledger, not a student headcount, and not a test-score ranking.

Keep Department of Education, Ohio, $9,735,012,690.94, and 3,521 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Education is the 091 parent without a Ohio 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 the Education–Ohio award mix

3,521 is a mid-size action file: 3,521 rows against $9,735,012,690.94, with an implied mean of about $2.76 million. That mix is neither the thickest USDA-style action books nor the sparsest Energy-style files in this portfolio. It still does not publish a median, a program pie, or a unique-recipient count. Treat 3,521 as award records.

The overlay Department of Education in Ohio is the both-keys table. Ohio federal spending and Department of Education are parents. All spending ties lists other agency-state pairs. Those hubs are not addends to $9,735,012,690.94.

Questions

How much Education spending is coded to Ohio?
USAspending.gov lists $9,735,012,690.94 in Department of Education obligations across 3,521 Ohio-coded awards. Agency 091 × OH is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Ohio’s complete federal ledger. Department of Education in Ohio is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $2.76 million, a ratio of those two facts only.
Does this total include every Education program in Ohio?
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. $9,735,012,690.94 is the combined obligation sum for agency 091 inside Ohio coding. This page will not invent a program pie. Open Department of Education in Ohio to inspect award lines. 3,521 remains an action count, not a program count.
Is $9,735,012,690.94 cash already paid in Ohio?
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 $9,735,012,690.94 as checks already cleared in Ohio confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 3,521 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
