Department of Education obligations in Texas 37th District (TX-37)

Department of Education and Texas 37th District (TX-37) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 091 and congressional district TX-37 meet here. $10,462,289,052.52 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 Texas 37th District (TX-37), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Education programs or contract versus assistance instruments. 137 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a student-aid caseload, a school census, or a named-grantee file.

Dividing $10,462,289,052.52 by 137 yields about $76,367,073.38 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 137 awards is a compact Education file. Agency 091 is Education. Do not read the row count as a student-aid caseload. Do not treat TX-37’s 091 cell as a synonym for every Education account nationwide. Open Texas 37th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Education for agency 091 without the TX-37 filter, Texas federal spending for every awarding agency in the Texas extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $10,462,289,052.52.

How USAspending labels Department of Education

USAspending labels awarding agency 091 as Department of Education. That code produced $10,462,289,052.52 when crossed with Texas 37th District (TX-37) place of performance. The agency-wide 091 hub does not require TX-37 geography. The district hub does not require Education. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 137 awards. The packet does not split Education programs or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Texas 37th District (TX-37) did not “cause” $10,462,289,052.52 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 091 × TX-37 only. It 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.

Geography is TX-37, not a facility map

Texas 37th District (TX-37) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list TX-37 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 091. Texas 37th District (TX-37) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 091. Texas 37th District (TX-37) is a different place-of-performance stamp from Texas 27th and Texas 33rd. Do not fold those Texas joins into this Education total.

Texas federal spending shows how agency 091 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $10,462,289,052.52 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Texas 37th District (TX-37) 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 $16,187,854,295.95; $10,462,289,052.52 is the Education slice of that denominator.

Commitment totals versus cash paid

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $10,462,289,052.52 is that kind of sum for Department of Education inside TX-37 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 $10,462,289,052.52 as given.

Share, mean, and what they are not

137 awards is a compact Education file. Agency 091 is Education. Do not read the row count as a student-aid caseload. 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 $76,367,073.38) and the district share (64.6% of $16,187,854,295.95) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 37th District and Department of Education if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Texas 37th District (TX-37) as more Education-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 091 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 091 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $10,462,289,052.52 and 137 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Is $10,462,289,052.52 cash already paid in Texas 37th District (TX-37)?

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.
