Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Indiana

Reading the DHS–IN pair

USAspending.gov stores awarding agency and place of performance on the same award rows. Intersecting 070 with IN yields $710,528,521.40 in obligations. The pair is not a statement that Indiana caused Department of Homeland Security to spend, and it is not a census of emergency-management offices.

Behind $710,528,521.40 sit 354 award actions (a mid-size award list). That denominator is why the mean of about $2,007,142.72 can look large or small depending on how many small rows share the cell. The packet does not publish a median or a unique-recipient count.

$710,528,521.40 across 354 actions

354 rows and $710,528,521.40 produce a mean of about $2,007,142.72. That ratio is not a typical preparedness or disaster-relief award and not a payment to a named vendor. Repeat the two packet facts when you reuse the mean; do not round them into a new official statistic.

Do not infer a typical preparedness or disaster-relief award from the mean. The overlay can show mixed instruments; this page only has the two published numbers and the four internal links.

Statewide Indiana, not Indianapolis from Fort Wayne or Evansville

Two one-sided pages exist so this two-sided page can stay small. Department of Homeland Security in Indiana is the live overlay. 354 awards and $710,528,521.40 belong only to the pair, not to a blended statewide rollup hidden under this slug.

Mailing address and place of performance can differ. An award that lists Indiana geography enters this total; an award that lists Ohio or Illinois does not, even if the vendor answers mail in Indianapolis. Keep 354 attached to the statewide tag.

Source note on obligations

Readers sometimes treat obligation totals as checks cleared. The packet does not support that reading. $710,528,521.40 is the commitment sum; outlays are unnamed here.

The source note repeats the same limit: obligations are not outlays. 354 is how many award rows carry both tags, not how many payments left the Treasury.

FEMA, Coast Guard, and disaster-relief folklore is not a finding

Do not rank Indiana as a winner or loser on DHS dollars from this page alone. The packet has no comparison table. All spending ties lists other pairs without turning this cell into a scoreboard.

A searcher who arrived from a political query still gets an awarding-agency × state obligation total. 354 awards and $710,528,521.40 stay in that unit. No donor names are in the packet, and none are invented.

Internal links that keep the same unit

Reuse $710,528,521.40 only with the filters that created it. Agency 070 without Indiana, or Indiana without agency 070, is a different number. About $2,007,142.72 per award stays a derived ratio of the same two facts.

Keep Department of Homeland Security and Indiana in the same sentence whenever you quote $710,528,521.40. Indiana federal spending will look larger because it mixes agencies. Department of Homeland Security will look larger because it mixes states. Department of Homeland Security in Indiana is the pair. All spending ties lists other pairs. Correlation is not causation. Agency 070 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national DHS budget on this page. Indiana's $710,528,521.40 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Department of Homeland Security and call the difference 'Indiana versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. Department of Homeland Security is the awarding-agency label stored on the Indiana overlay; the numeric key is 070. Readers who only remember the short name DHS still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $710,528,521.40. The 354 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 $2,007,142.72 is not a typical preparedness or disaster-relief award.
