Department of Education obligations in South Carolina 6th District (SC-06)

The South Carolina 6th District (SC-06) filter on Education

Awarding agency 091 and congressional district SC-06 meet here. $1,821,944,659.64 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 South Carolina 6th District (SC-06), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Education programs or contract versus assistance instruments. 344 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a student-aid caseload, a school census, or a named-grantee file.

Dividing $1,821,944,659.64 by 344 yields about $5,296,350.75 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 344 awards is a mid-size Education file. Program splits are unpublished. Do not treat SC-06's 091 cell as a synonym for every Education account nationwide. Open South Carolina 6th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Education for agency 091 without a SC-06 filter, South Carolina federal spending for every awarding agency in the South Carolina extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,821,944,659.64.

The Department of Education awarding-agency rollup

USAspending labels awarding agency 091 as Department of Education. That code produced $1,821,944,659.64 when crossed with South Carolina 6th District (SC-06) place of performance. The agency-wide 091 hub does not require SC-06 geography. The district hub does not require Education. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 344 awards. The packet does not split Education programs or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: South Carolina 6th District (SC-06) did not cause $1,821,944,659.64 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 091 × SC-06 only. This cell is not a student-aid caseload, a school census, or a named-grantee 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.

Reading the SC-06 stamp

South Carolina 6th District (SC-06) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list SC-06 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other South Carolina districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 091. South Carolina 6th District (SC-06) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside South Carolina. Other South Carolina districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 091. South Carolina 6th District (SC-06) is a numbered place-of-performance geography inside South Carolina. The DHS cell on the same stamp is a different join.

South Carolina federal spending shows how agency 091 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $1,821,944,659.64 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split South Carolina 6th District (SC-06) 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 Education. The district-wide obligation total published here is $17,368,561,715.65; $1,821,944,659.64 is the Education slice of that denominator.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,821,944,659.64 is that kind of sum for Department of Education inside SC-06 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 $1,821,944,659.64 as given.

South Carolina's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 344-row Education cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 344 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 ($5,296,350.75) is a concentration statistic, not a typical SC-06 Education payment.

Row count versus dollar concentration

344 awards is a mid-size Education file. Program splits are unpublished. Education and DHS can share SC-06 as place of performance without becoming one rollup. Keep awarding-agency codes on their own ties. 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 $5,296,350.75) and the district share (10.5% of $17,368,561,715.65) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer South Carolina 6th District and Department of Education if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much Education spending is coded to South Carolina 6th District (SC-06)?

USAspending.gov lists $1,821,944,659.64 in Department of Education obligations across 344 awards with place of performance in South Carolina 6th District (SC-06).

Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $5,296,350.75, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $1,821,944,659.64 include every Education program in SC-06?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split Education programs or contract versus assistance instruments. $1,821,944,659.64 is the combined obligation sum for agency 091 inside SC-06 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Education and South Carolina 6th District to inspect parent tables. 344 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $1,821,944,659.64 cash already paid in South Carolina 6th District (SC-06)?

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 $1,821,944,659.64 as checks already cleared in South Carolina 6th District (SC-06) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 344 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Why is the implied average $5,296,350.75 not a typical award?
