Department of Health and Human Services obligations in Alabama

HHS in Alabama beside SSA in Alabama

Two Alabama relationship pages appear in this inventory. This one is 075 × AL. $43,815,788,696.64 is the HHS obligation sum. 3,012 is the HHS award count. Alabama also has other awarding-agency overlays; those are different filters. Do not add the two totals here; the packet does not publish a combined figure.

About $14.55 million per award follows from a thin row count. The mean is not a typical clinic grant. Award types are mixed.

A useful check on $43,815,788,696.64 is to ask what 3,012 records implies. A large sum on few rows concentrates. A large sum on many rows dilutes the mean. That check is still not a ranking of states. It is a reading of this file’s shape.

Agency 075 as a rollup code

Department of Health and Human Services is the label on 075. This page does not split operating divisions. The agency hub without Alabama will not equal $43,815,788,696.64. Overlay /states/al/agencies/075/ is the both-keys table for 3,012 awards.

Quoting $43,815,788,696.64 from the agency hub would be a different filter. Quoting 3,012 from the state hub would mix other awarding agencies. The overlay is the only table that keeps both keys. That is why this tie cites those two facts together.

Alabama place of performance

AL excludes Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida. HHS awards coded to those states are outside $43,815,788,696.64. Place of performance is not a county map in this aggregate.

The Alabama federal spending hub shows 075 next to 028. Neighboring rows are not a single health-and-benefits pipeline.

Do not enlarge $43,815,788,696.64 into a regional estimate by adding neighbors from memory. Each neighbor is another filter, if it exists at all as a tie. This page has one geography code. That is the edge of the claim.

Concentrated dollars, unpublished years

A small number of large instruments can dominate $43,815,788,696.64. Outlays are not in the facts. No year is cited. Award count 3,012 is not unique recipients and not an enrollment figure.

De-obligation can reduce a prior commitment. The published total is the harvested obligation aggregate.

What not to infer

The join does not measure health outcomes. It does not claim FEC donations funded USAspending awards. See Department of Health and Human Services in Alabama, Alabama federal spending, Department of Health and Human Services, and All spending ties.

How to read this pair next to the hubs

Alabama’s HHS pair is concentrated: $43,815,788,696.64 on 3,012 awards, about $14.55 million per record.

When citing $43,815,788,696.64, name the awarding agency and the place-of-performance state in the same breath. Department of Health and Human Services in Alabama is that citation’s home. Alabama federal spending and Department of Health and Human Services answer wider questions. All spending ties lists other intersections. 3,012 is not unique vendors.

Nothing in the facts converts obligations to outlays or assigns $43,815,788,696.64 to a fiscal year. Nothing lists facilities. Correlation between an agency code and a state code is a join result, not a finding about local economies.

A later harvest can revise totals. Use the overlay as the operational source. Do not sum this page with other overlays to invent a combined presence score. The published pair is $43,815,788,696.64 on 3,012 awards.

State lines in USAspending are codes, not culture. Informal regions do not add into $43,815,788,696.64. A vendor headquartered elsewhere can still appear if performance is tagged here; a local vendor can vanish from 3,012 if performance is tagged elsewhere. Those coding facts are why this page will not narrate $43,815,788,696.64 as “the federal government chose this state” in a causal sense. It will narrate $43,815,788,696.64 as the obligation sum inside a two-field filter, with 3,012 records, on Department of Health and Human Services in Alabama, with parents at Alabama federal spending and Department of Health and Human Services.

Readers who arrived from a search for a program name, a base, a clinic, or a highway will not find those nouns in the facts. Adding them would be atmosphere. $43,815,788,696.64 is an awarding-agency code crossed with a place-of-performance state. 3,012 is how many award records survive that cross. If a program-level or site-level question still needs answering, it needs a different table than this aggregate. This narrative will not fill the gap with guesses. It will send the reader to Department of Health and Human Services in Alabama for rows and to the parent hubs for wider totals.

Questions

How much has HHS obligated in Alabama?

USAspending records $43,815,788,696.64 in obligations for agency 075 with Alabama place of performance, on 3,012 awards. That is the HHS–Alabama join only. The pair is awarding agency 075 (Department of Health and Human Services) and place-of-performance Alabama. It is not Department of Health and Human Services nationwide and not Alabama from every awarding agency.

Is SSA in Alabama included?

No. Social Security Administration is a different awarding-agency overlay. This page is Department of Health and Human Services 075: $43,815,788,696.64 on 3,012 awards. Only place-of-performance Alabama plus awarding agency 075 (Department of Health and Human Services) enter $43,815,788,696.64. Adjacent state codes are other filters, if they exist as ties at all.

Why is the average about $14.55 million?

Because $43,815,788,696.64 is divided by 3,012 awards. A thin file raises the mean. The mean is not a typical grant. That ratio uses only $43,815,788,696.64 and 3,012 from the packet. A mean hides mix: a few large instruments can sit beside many smaller ones.

Are these outlays?

No. The aggregate is obligations. The 3,012 figure is an award-record count. USAspending’s source note for this aggregate is that obligations are not outlays. Place of performance Alabama is a geography tag, not a roster of residents, vendors, or named facilities.
