Department of Education federal obligations in Oregon

The Department of Education shows $4,158,589,141.06 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Oregon, across 1,564 awards. Awarding-agency 091 and Oregon (OR) are the pair. One thousand five hundred sixty-four records is a typical Education formula-file size: hundreds of awards, not hundreds of thousands. The implied mean is about $2.66 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • Education in Oregon: $4,158,589,141.06 across 1,564 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $2.66 million per record — a packet quotient, not a typical project.
  • Agency 091 × OR is not a measure of enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
  • Oregon federal spending and Department of Education are parents, not amounts to add into $4,158,589,141.06.

Education awards tagged to Oregon

Department of Education as awarding agency, Oregon as place-of-performance: 1,564 records summing to $4,158,589,141.06. A Department of Education award coded outside OR is out. An award in Oregon from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Oregon (OR) excludes Washington, California, Idaho, and Nevada. A Vancouver, Washington-coded award is WA even if a student commutes.

One thousand five hundred sixty-four records is a typical Education formula-file size: hundreds of awards, not hundreds of thousands. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,564 as 1,564 unique enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. The overlay Department of Education in Oregon is the both-keys table. Oregon federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without an OR filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, or Pell as line items inside $4,158,589,141.06. Correlation is not causation: Oregon did not “cause” $4,158,589,141.06 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × OR only.

Not a Portland-versus-rural report card

$4,158,589,141.06 does not measure enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 091 and an OR place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,564 awards as a census of enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Oregon federal spending or Department of Education matched $4,158,589,141.06 and 1,564, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Washington, California, and Idaho Education joins are other pairs, not addends.

Oregon statewide, not a Cascadia rollup

Place of performance OR is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Oregon (OR) excludes Washington, California, Idaho, and Nevada. A Vancouver, Washington-coded award is WA even if a student commutes. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, or Pell as line items inside $4,158,589,141.06. This packet does not split $4,158,589,141.06 by city, county, or named facility. 1,564 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Formula stock versus district warrants

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $4,158,589,141.06 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Oregon confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Oregon’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,564-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $4,158,589,141.06. Sharing a state with Education does not mean campaign donations funded these awards.

Citing Education in Oregon

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Education (agency 091) obligated $4,158,589,141.06 on 1,564 awards coded to Oregon. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts.

Prefer Department of Education in Oregon if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Oregon federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to OR. Department of Education is the 091 parent without the OR filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $4,158,589,141.06.

A usable footnote names Department of Education, Oregon, $4,158,589,141.06, and 1,564. The compact headline $4.16 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2.66 million is $4,158,589,141.06 divided by 1,564. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
