Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Iowa

The Department of Homeland Security shows $1,376,485,569.72 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Iowa, across 472 awards. Awarding-agency 070 and Iowa (IA) are the pair. Four hundred seventy-two awards against $1,376,485,569.72 is a mid-count DHS file, not a thin headquarters-only list. The implied mean is about $2.92 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

  • Implied mean about $2.92 million per record — a packet quotient, not a typical project.

DHS awards tagged to Iowa

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, Iowa as place-of-performance: 472 records summing to $1,376,485,569.72. A Department of Homeland Security award coded outside IA is out. An award in Iowa from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Iowa (IA) excludes Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and South Dakota. A Omaha-coded award is Nebraska even if the metro straddles the river.

Four hundred seventy-two awards against $1,376,485,569.72 is a mid-count DHS file, not a thin headquarters-only list. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 472 as 472 unique unique grants, disaster declarations, or named components. The overlay Department of Homeland Security in Iowa is the both-keys table. Iowa federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without an IA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Named FEMA disasters are unpublished. Do not treat 472 as unique flood events. Correlation is not causation: Iowa did not cause $1,376,485,569.72 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × IA only.

Flood declarations are unpublished

$1,376,485,569.72 does not measure unique grants, disaster declarations, or named components. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and an IA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 472 awards as a census of unique grants, disaster declarations, or named components. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Iowa federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $1,376,485,569.72 and 472, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Illinois, Nebraska, and Minnesota DHS joins are other pairs, not addends.

Iowa statewide, not a two-river map

Place of performance IA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Iowa (IA) excludes Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and South Dakota. A Omaha-coded award is Nebraska even if the metro straddles the river. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Named FEMA disasters are unpublished. Do not treat 472 as unique flood events. This packet does not split $1,376,485,569.72 by city, county, or named facility. 472 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Grant-style volume still records obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,376,485,569.72 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Iowa confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Iowa’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 472-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $1,376,485,569.72.

Citing DHS in Iowa

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) obligated $1,376,485,569.72 on 472 awards coded to Iowa. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unique grants, disaster declarations, or named components.

Prefer Department of Homeland Security in Iowa if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Iowa federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to IA. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without the IA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,376,485,569.72.

A usable footnote names Department of Homeland Security, Iowa, $1,376,485,569.72, and 472. The compact headline $1.38 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2.92 million is $1,376,485,569.72 divided by 472. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
