Department of Homeland Security obligations in Georgia 5th District (GA-05)
USAspending.gov tags $2,069,263,149.17 to Department of Homeland Security inside Georgia 5th District (GA-05) — 188 award records, not outlays. One hundred eighty-eight DHS-coded awards cover about ten percent of GA-05's district obligation total. Matching that row count on Texas 16th DHS is coincidence, not a shared component. That pair is Department of Homeland Security and Georgia 5th District (GA-05) — not Georgia's entire federal inflow, not Department of Homeland Security nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 10.2% of this district's published obligation total ($20,366,413,605.18). Implied average obligation is about $11,006,718.88 ($2,069,263,149.17 ÷ 188). Correlation is not causation.

DHS obligations coded to Georgia 5th District (GA-05)
Awarding agency 070 and congressional district GA-05 meet here. $2,069,263,149.17 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 Georgia 5th District (GA-05), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments. 188 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $2,069,263,149.17 by 188 yields about $11,006,718.88 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 188 awards is a compact DHS file. Do not read 188 as one hundred eighty-eight unique vendors; the packet does not publish recipient identity. Do not treat GA-05's 070 cell as a synonym for every DHS account nationwide. Open Georgia 5th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Homeland Security for agency 070 without a GA-05 filter, Georgia federal spending for every awarding agency in the Georgia extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $2,069,263,149.17.
What DHS contributes to this pair
USAspending labels awarding agency 070 as Department of Homeland Security. That code produced $2,069,263,149.17 when crossed with Georgia 5th District (GA-05) place of performance. The agency-wide 070 hub does not require GA-05 geography. The district hub does not require DHS. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 188 awards. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: Georgia 5th District (GA-05) did not cause $2,069,263,149.17 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 070 × GA-05 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.
District geography versus Georgia statewide totals
Georgia 5th District (GA-05) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list GA-05 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Georgia districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 070. Georgia 5th District (GA-05) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Georgia. Other Georgia districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 070. Georgia 5th District (GA-05) is a numbered USAspending geography inside Georgia. Other Georgia districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 070.
Georgia federal spending shows how agency 070 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $2,069,263,149.17 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Georgia 5th District (GA-05) 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 $20,366,413,605.18; $2,069,263,149.17 is the DHS slice of that denominator.
Why this is not an outlay register
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $2,069,263,149.17 is that kind of sum for Department of Homeland Security inside GA-05 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 $2,069,263,149.17 as given.
Georgia's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 188-row DHS cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 188 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($11,006,718.88) is a concentration statistic, not a typical GA-05 DHS payment.
Live tables versus this snapshot
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) obligated $2,069,263,149.17 on 188 awards coded to Georgia 5th District (GA-05). Name Department of Homeland Security and Georgia 5th District (GA-05) together. Keep the obligation word. If Georgia 5th 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. 10.2% of $20,366,413,605.18 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep Department of Homeland Security, Georgia 5th District (GA-05), $2,069,263,149.17, and 188 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without a GA-05 filter. Georgia federal spending is the Georgia parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with DHS does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
What this packet refuses to infer
188 awards is a compact DHS file. Do not read 188 as one hundred eighty-eight unique vendors; the packet does not publish recipient identity. Texas 16th also cites 188 DHS awards on this harvest. Same action count, different geography, different district share. Do not add the cells. 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 $11,006,718.88) and the district share (10.2% of $20,366,413,605.18) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Georgia 5th District and Department of Homeland Security if the live tables moved.
Do not rank Georgia 5th District (GA-05) 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 $2,069,263,149.17 and 188 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 Georgia 5th District (GA-05)?
- USAspending.gov lists $2,069,263,149.17 in Department of Homeland Security obligations across 188 awards with place of performance in Georgia 5th District (GA-05). Agency 070 × GA-05 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Georgia's complete federal ledger. The cell is 10.2% of the district's published total ($20,366,413,605.18). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $11,006,718.88, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $2,069,263,149.17 include every DHS program in GA-05?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments. $2,069,263,149.17 is the combined obligation sum for agency 070 inside GA-05 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Homeland Security and Georgia 5th District to inspect parent tables. 188 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $2,069,263,149.17 cash already paid in Georgia 5th District (GA-05)?
- 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 $2,069,263,149.17 as checks already cleared in Georgia 5th District (GA-05) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 188 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
- What share of GA-05 obligations is agency 070?
- Agency 070 accounts for 10.2% of $20,366,413,605.18 in district-wide obligations on this packet. That share is $2,069,263,149.17 ÷ $20,366,413,605.18. It is not a ranking of Georgia districts and not an outlay share. Other awarding agencies occupy the remaining district total on other ties.
