Department of Health and Human Services federal obligations in North Dakota

The 075 × ND cell

Awarding agency 075 and place-of-performance state ND define this tie. The $217,400,664,269.63 obligation total is the sum on records that hold both keys. North Dakota’s all-agency hub and HHS’s all-state hub are different tables. This page does not substitute for either.

One thousand seven hundred sixty-nine awards is the smallest HHS row count in this slice. The dollars still exceed $217 billion. Sparse rows plus a large sum is a bookkeeping pattern. It is not a finding that North Dakota “gets more than it should.”

North Dakota’s HHS cell is $217,400,664,269.63 on 1,769 awards. A low-population state can still show a large assistance aggregate if the instruments themselves are large. The packet does not include population, so this page does not compute per-capita spending or call the total large or small for the state’s size. Repeat the filter out loud: awarding agency 075, place-of-performance ND, $217,400,664,269.63, 1,769 awards. That sentence is the whole numeric claim. Per-capita language would require a population fact that the packet does not supply, so this page will not say North Dakota “gets a lot for its size.” Tribal health, state agencies, and research instruments can share code 075 without being named. The $122.9 million mean is an arithmetic flag that a few large assistance awards can dominate 1,769 rows. It is not a typical clinic budget. Minnesota- and Montana-tagged awards remain on those ties. Obligations remain commitments. The overlay, the North Dakota hub, the HHS hub, and All spending ties remain the exits.

HHS as awarding agency 075

The code is 075, labeled Department of Health and Human Services. USDA, Interior, and other agencies that also award in North Dakota use other codes. This $217,400,664,269.63 figure does not include them.

The agency 075 hub removes the North Dakota filter. Packet facts are the obligation sum, 1,769 awards, state ND, and the code. No tribal-health versus state-Medicaid split appears in those facts.

Tribal health, state Medicaid, and research grants can all sit in awarding agency 075. The facts do not split them. Treating $217,400,664,269.63 as a single program would be a misread of the cabinet code.

North Dakota as a place-of-performance stamp

North Dakota is USAspending state code ND. An award performed in Cass County, a Bismarck recipient, and a record that only lists ND can all feed $217,400,664,269.63. The join publishes no city table. Awards coded to Minnesota, Montana, or South Dakota stay on other ties even when the service area crosses a border.

Statewide North Dakota federal spending is the parent. Agency 075 is one awarding agency there. $217.4 billion is not the state’s complete federal ledger.

Awards tagged to Minnesota, Montana, or South Dakota stay on those ties. Cross-border hospital networks do not merge geography cells. The filter is ND.

Why the per-award mean is extreme

Average obligation is about $122.9 million ($217,400,664,269.63 ÷ 1,769). With 1,769 rows under a $217.4 billion total, a handful of large assistance awards can dominate the mean. The average is not a typical clinic contract and not a median.

USAspending net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports the $217,400,664,269.63 fact as given. Read 1,769 as award records in the aggregate, not as 1,769 finished projects.

The $122.9 million mean is an arithmetic result of 1,769 rows under $217.4 billion. Report it, note that a handful of large awards can dominate, and stop. Do not infer typical clinic budgets from that ratio.

Limits of the North Dakota–HHS join

Sharing a state tag does not mean North Dakota selected these awards, and it does not mean HHS outlays equal $217,400,664,269.63 inside the state. FEC donations are a separate dataset. Correlation is not causation.

Large dollars, few rows, no per-capita claim

North Dakota’s $217,400,664,269.63 HHS total on 1,769 awards will look large beside the state’s reputation as small. Reputation is not a fact in the packet. Per-capita math is not allowed without population. The page reports the cell and the $122.9 million mean and stops.

Tribal, rural, and urban performance locations share one ND tag. The join does not separate them. Awards tagged to Minnesota or Montana stay on those ties. Continue from the overlay, the state hub, the agency hub, and All spending ties.

Questions

How much HHS funding is obligated in North Dakota?

USAspending records $217,400,664,269.63 in obligations for awarding agency 075 with North Dakota place of performance, covering 1,769 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for this pair, not outlays.

Why is the average HHS award in North Dakota so high?

Is this all federal spending in North Dakota?

No. Only awarding agency 075 is in this cell. Agriculture, Defense, and other cabinets appear on separate North Dakota ties and on the state hub.

Do obligations equal money already paid to North Dakota providers?

No. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are later cash movements. This page reports $217,400,664,269.63 in obligations across 1,769 awards.
