Department of Homeland Security obligations in Alaska At-Large District (AK-00)

Department of Homeland Security and Alaska At-Large District (AK-00) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 070 and congressional district AK-00 meet here. $1,649,752,064.68 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Homeland Security's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Alaska At-Large District (AK-00), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments. 649 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a component census, a border-crossing count, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $1,649,752,064.68 by 649 yields about $2,541,990.85 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 649 awards is a moderate DHS file, thinner than Interior's 2,839-row Alaska file and thicker than many compact DHS cells. Do not treat AK-00's 070 cell as a synonym for every DHS account nationwide. Open Alaska At-Large District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Homeland Security for agency 070 without a AK-00 filter, Alaska federal spending for every awarding agency in the Alaska extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,649,752,064.68.

How USAspending labels Department of Homeland Security

USAspending labels awarding agency 070 as Department of Homeland Security. That code produced $1,649,752,064.68 when crossed with Alaska At-Large District (AK-00) place of performance. The agency-wide 070 hub does not require AK-00 geography. The district hub does not require DHS. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 649 awards. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Alaska At-Large District (AK-00) did not cause $1,649,752,064.68 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 070 × AK-00 only. This cell is not a component census, a border-crossing count, or a named-contractor 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 AK-00, not a facility map

Alaska At-Large District (AK-00) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list AK-00 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Alaska districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 070. Alaska At-Large District (AK-00) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Alaska. Other Alaska districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 070. Alaska At-Large District (AK-00) already appears on this harvest with Interior (014) and Agriculture (012). This page is DHS (070) only.

Alaska federal spending shows how agency 070 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $1,649,752,064.68 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Alaska At-Large District (AK-00) 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 Homeland Security. The district-wide obligation total published here is $53,125,232,484.14; $1,649,752,064.68 is the DHS slice of that denominator.

Commitment totals versus cash paid

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,649,752,064.68 is that kind of sum for Department of Homeland Security inside AK-00 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 $1,649,752,064.68 as given.

Keeping both sides of the 070 × AK-00 pair

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) obligated $1,649,752,064.68 on 649 awards coded to Alaska At-Large District (AK-00). Name Department of Homeland Security and Alaska At-Large District (AK-00) together. Keep the obligation word. If Alaska At-Large District or Department of Homeland Security has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a component census, a border-crossing count, or a named-contractor file. 3.1% of $53,125,232,484.14 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Share, mean, and what they are not

649 awards is a moderate DHS file, thinner than Interior's 2,839-row Alaska file and thicker than many compact DHS cells. Do not add Interior or Agriculture AK-00 dollars into this DHS total. Three awarding agencies sharing one at-large stamp remain three joins. 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 $2,541,990.85) and the district share (3.1% of $53,125,232,484.14) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Alaska At-Large District and Department of Homeland Security if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Alaska At-Large District (AK-00) as more DHS-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 070 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 070 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $1,649,752,064.68 and 649 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much DHS spending is coded to Alaska At-Large District (AK-00)?

USAspending.gov lists $1,649,752,064.68 in Department of Homeland Security obligations across 649 awards with place of performance in Alaska At-Large District (AK-00). Agency 070 × AK-00 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Alaska's complete federal ledger. The cell is 3.1% of the district's published total ($53,125,232,484.14). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $2,541,990.85, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $1,649,752,064.68 include every DHS program in AK-00?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments. $1,649,752,064.68 is the combined obligation sum for agency 070 inside AK-00 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Homeland Security and Alaska At-Large District to inspect parent tables. 649 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $1,649,752,064.68 cash already paid in Alaska At-Large District (AK-00)?

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. Treating $1,649,752,064.68 as checks already cleared in Alaska At-Large District (AK-00) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 649 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

How does this DHS cell relate to Alaska statewide spending?

Alaska federal spending is the Alaska statewide extract across awarding agencies. $1,649,752,064.68 is the Department of Homeland Security amount inside Alaska At-Large District (AK-00) only, not the statewide DHS total.
