Department of Health and Human Services federal obligations in Connecticut

Two filters: cabinet 075 and state CT

This page is the overlap of awarding agency 075 and Connecticut place of performance. The $230,924,492,995.23 total exists only while both filters stay on. The Connecticut hub sums every awarding agency. The HHS hub sums every state. Neither parent is this cell.

Four thousand five hundred seventy-four awards is fewer rows than several larger-population HHS slices, while the dollars remain in the same order of magnitude as those slices. That pattern is descriptive. It does not mean Connecticut “punches above its weight,” a phrase this page will not use as a causal claim.

Connecticut is a small state in land area; that fact is not in the packet and is not used to call $230,924,492,995.23 surprising or unsurprising. The join does not compute per-capita figures because population is not among the facts. What the table shows is 4,574 awards and the obligation sum.

What agency 075 contributes to the pair

The awarding-agency code is 075, labeled Department of Health and Human Services. Other health-adjacent spenders — Veterans Affairs, Defense medical commands, the Social Security Administration — use different codes and different Connecticut ties. This $230,924,492,995.23 figure is 075 only.

Open the agency 075 hub to drop the Connecticut constraint. Facts on this packet stop at the obligation sum, 4,574 awards, state CT, and the code. No operating-division split is supplied.

Insurance and hospital systems headquartered in Connecticut can receive awards tagged to other states. Those awards do not sit in this cell. Conversely, work tagged CT can belong to recipients headquartered elsewhere. The $230,924,492,995.23 total follows the geography field, not corporate HQ.

Connecticut geography in USAspending

Connecticut here is the place-of-performance state code CT. An award performed in New Haven County, a recipient headquartered in Hartford, and a record that merely stamps CT can all feed $230,924,492,995.23. The join does not separate those mechanics. Awards tagged NY, MA, or RI stay on other ties even when the workforce commutes across the line.

Statewide Connecticut federal spending is the parent. Agency 075 is one column in that parent. Treating $230.9 billion as the state’s whole federal ledger would hide every other awarding agency.

Neighboring New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island have their own HHS ties. Commuting across those borders does not move an award from one cell to another. The filter is the stored state code.

Concentration: 4,574 awards, $230.9 billion

Average obligation is about $50.5 million ($230,924,492,995.23 ÷ 4,574). That is higher than several HHS × state cells with more rows and a similar dollar scale. A higher mean flags concentration in the aggregate; it does not identify the large instruments, and it is not a median.

The raw USAspending file can hold negative adjustments. This page reports the net $230,924,492,995.23 supplied in the facts. The 4,574 figure is an award-record count, not a count of completed grants.

A mean of about $50.5 million on 4,574 awards is a concentration check. It is compatible with a mix of very large assistance awards and smaller instruments. Without a distribution, the page cannot say how many awards sit near the mean.

Caveats on the Connecticut–HHS join

A shared state tag does not mean Connecticut chose these awards, and it does not mean HHS outlays equal $230,924,492,995.23 in the state. Campaign contributions recorded by the FEC are not a funding source for this table. Correlation is not causation.

Using this cell without over-reading a small state

Connecticut’s land area and household income are not in the packet. They cannot be used to say $230,924,492,995.23 is high or low for the state. Per-capita claims need a population fact. This page does not have one.

What it does have is 4,574 awards, awarding agency 075, place-of-performance CT, and the obligation sum. The overlay table at Department of Health and Human Services in Connecticut is the next click for the same pair without this narrative. The state hub and the agency hub remain the two parents.

Questions

How much HHS spending is obligated in Connecticut?

USAspending records $230,924,492,995.23 in obligations for awarding agency 075 with Connecticut place of performance, covering 4,574 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for this pair, not outlays and not the department’s national total.

Why is Connecticut’s HHS average higher than some larger states?

Dividing $230,924,492,995.23 by 4,574 awards produces about $50.5 million per award. Fewer rows under a large dollar total raise the mean. The packet does not name the large awards driving that ratio.

Does this include every federal health dollar in Connecticut?

No. Only awarding agency 075 is in this cell. Other cabinets that fund health-related work in Connecticut sit on separate ties. The Connecticut hub is the all-agency view.

Are obligations the same as money spent?

No. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are later cash. This page reports $230,924,492,995.23 in obligations across 4,574 awards.
