Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Arkansas

How Arkansas and Department of Homeland Security share one cell

This page is a join: Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency 070, Arkansas as place of performance. The published cell is $722,623,742. That number does not describe every DHS bureau account in the country, and it does not describe every federal award in Arkansas. River-city and ozark folklore is a reader path, not a column in this extract.

The award count is 276 — a mid-size award list. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census and not a census of emergency-management offices. Grantees names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Reading 276 awards against $722,623,742

About $2,618,201.96 per award is $722,623,742 ÷ 276. High means often mark a few large instruments; low means often mark many small rows. This packet publishes neither a breakdown by award type nor a list of grantees. Fema, coast guard, and disaster-relief folklore remains outside the numeric fields.

River-city and ozark folklore may explain why a searcher landed here. It does not add dollars, awards, or grantees to the extract. Keep the published pair at $722,623,742 and 276.

Arkansas geography is not the nationwide DHS book

Department of Homeland Security is Department of Homeland Security without a state filter. Arkansas federal spending is Arkansas without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide DHS book as if it were Arkansas's $722,623,742 cell is a misread of the join.

A AR place-of-performance tag is not a promise that every dollar stayed inside Little Rock. Work can be planned in Arkansas and performed partly in Missouri or Texas. Those neighbor-coded awards are out of this cell. No metro split of Little Rock from Fayetteville or Fort Smith is published here.

Commitment versus payment

USAspending.gov distinguishes obligations from outlays. The source note on this packet is explicit: the $722,623,742 figure is an obligation aggregate, not cash paid. No fiscal year is published in the facts, so none is invented here.

276 actions can include modifications that change a prior obligation. That is why a record count is not a unique-project census. Use Department of Homeland Security in Arkansas for the live table.

Correlation is not causation

The join is descriptive. $722,623,742 does not prove that Arkansas received too much or too little DHS money, and it does not prove that response work caused local outcomes. No performance metric is in the packet.

Campaign-finance filings do not fund this USAspending cell. Department of Homeland Security obligations in Arkansas and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them.

A clean footnote for agency 070 in Arkansas

Cite both sides: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) and Arkansas. Then cite $722,623,742 and 276. Then cite USAspending.gov. Skip metro folklore about Little Rock from Fayetteville or Fort Smith. Skip invented grantees.

Follow Department of Homeland Security in Arkansas for the overlay, Arkansas federal spending for statewide context, Department of Homeland Security for the agency without Arkansas, and All spending ties for sibling joins. River-city and ozark folklore does not add a third numeric field. This packet's facts remain $722,623,742, 276, 070, AR, and Department of Homeland Security. The 276 figure is not a count of unique grantees and is not a count of distinct Homeland Security awards. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $2,618,201.96 is not a typical preparedness or disaster-relief award. Statewide Arkansas includes Little Rock, Fayetteville, and Fort Smith only as reader landmarks. None of those names is a published subtotal. A county or city extract would be a different USAspending query. Department of Homeland Security in Arkansas remains the filtered table for this pair. Arkansas federal spending answers a statewide question that mixes agencies. Department of Homeland Security answers an agency question that mixes states. All spending ties is the catalog of other two-sided pages, not a sum of this cell plus its siblings.
