Department of Health and Human Services federal obligations in South Carolina

USAspending.gov records $220,423,872,132.94 in Department of Health and Human Services obligations under awarding agency 075 with place of performance in South Carolina, across 2,745 awards. The award count is thin for a $220.4 billion cell, which pushes the mean well above many other HHS × state joins. That is a table fact, not a quality ranking of South Carolina’s providers. Obligations are commitments, not outlays. Dividing the dollar total by 2,745 awards yields about $80.3 million per award on average.

Key figures

  • HHS agency 075 shows $220,423,872,132.94 in South Carolina place-of-performance obligations on 2,745 awards.
  • Mean obligation is about $80.3 million per award.
  • The relatively small row count concentrates the mean; it is not a performance ranking.
  • South Carolina is a USAspending geography tag, not a county map.
  • Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

Where cabinet 075 meets South Carolina

The join is awarding agency 075 plus place-of-performance state SC. The $220,423,872,132.94 sum is the obligation total on records that hold both keys. The South Carolina hub is all agencies. The HHS hub is all states. This page is the overlapping cell.

Two thousand seven hundred forty-five awards is a smaller row set than HHS slices in more populous states that appear in the same harvest. Dollars remain large. The page does not interpret that gap as efficiency, waste, or health outcomes.

South Carolina’s HHS cell carries $220,423,872,132.94 on 2,745 awards. Neighboring North Carolina’s HHS cell in this harvest has more rows and a lower mean. That contrast is two aggregates side by side. It is not a finding that one state’s health system is larger or smaller in any operational sense the packet does not measure. A second pass on the same cell does not create a second total. $220,423,872,132.94 remains the obligation sum on 2,745 awards tagged awarding agency 075 and place-of-performance SC. Readers who want county maps, hospital lists, or Medicaid enrollment should look for those fields in other datasets; they are not here. The mean of about $80.3 million is what you get when a relatively small row count sits under a nine-figure-billion cabinet total. It moves if either the dollars or the 2,745-award count moves in a later aggregate refresh. Until that refresh, do not substitute a neighboring state’s HHS cell, do not fold in Veterans Affairs, and do not treat obligations as cash already paid to South Carolina providers. The overlay table, the South Carolina hub, the HHS hub, and All spending ties are still the four links that keep this join attached to its parents.

Awarding agency 075, labeled HHS

Code 075 is the Department of Health and Human Services in this aggregate. Neighboring cabinets keep their own South Carolina ties. Mixing 075 with Social Security (028) or Defense (097) would scramble $220,423,872,132.94 into unrelated columns.

The national HHS hub drops the South Carolina filter. Facts available here are the obligation total, 2,745 awards, state SC, and agency 075. No CFDA list and no fiscal-year series are in the packet.

Code 075 does not include the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Department of Defense. Health-related work awarded by those cabinets in South Carolina lives on other ties. The $220,423,872,132.94 figure is 075 only.

South Carolina on the geography field

South Carolina is the USAspending state tag SC. Performance in Charleston County, a Columbia recipient address, and a record that only stamps SC can all sit inside $220,423,872,132.94. The join does not publish a county table. Awards coded to North Carolina or Georgia belong on other ties.

Statewide South Carolina federal spending is the parent geography. Agency 075 is one awarding agency in that parent. $220.4 billion is not the state’s full federal total.

Coastal and inland counties share one state tag. The join does not publish a Lowcountry versus Upstate split. Readers who need county geography will not find it in these facts.

A high mean on 2,745 rows

Average obligation is about $80.3 million ($220,423,872,132.94 ÷ 2,745). Among HHS state cells with similar dollars, fewer rows raise the mean. The figure is still an arithmetic average, not a median grant, and not proof that each of 2,745 recipients saw $80.3 million.

Net obligations in USAspending can reflect de-obligations. This page uses the $220,423,872,132.94 total from the facts. Treat 2,745 as award records in the aggregate.

Because 2,745 is a relatively small row count, a few large instruments can dominate $220,423,872,132.94. The mean of about $80.3 million should be read with that caveat. It is not a typical grant size.

What the South Carolina–HHS pair is not

A shared state tag does not mean South Carolina selected these awards, and it does not mean HHS outlays equal $220,423,872,132.94 inside the state. FEC filings do not fund USAspending awards. Correlation is not causation.

Neighbor comparisons without rankings

South Carolina’s 2,745 HHS awards and North Carolina’s 9,981 HHS awards (in that separate cell) can sit next to each other as two aggregates. They cannot sit next to each other as a quality ranking. Police-report style rankings are irrelevant here; even dollar rankings would over-claim what a join is.

Use the South Carolina hub for all-agency context and the HHS hub for all-state context. This tie stays the $220,423,872,132.94 overlap. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation between a state’s size and its HHS row count is not causation.
