Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Kentucky

The Department of Homeland Security shows $2,202,837,210.21 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Kentucky, across 654 awards. The pair is Homeland Security plus Kentucky, not a gold-vault budget. Awarding-agency 070 and Kentucky (KY) are the pair. Six hundred fifty-four awards against $2,202,837,210.21 is a thinner DHS file: fewer rows than a mid-count Hawaii cell, a higher implied mean. The implied mean is about $3.37 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

  • DHS in Kentucky: $2,202,837,210.21 across 654 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $3.37 million per record — a packet quotient, not a typical project.
  • Agency 070 × KY is not a measure of FEMA declarations, unique contractors, or named installations.

  • Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, and the rest of the counties share one KY place-of-performance tag.

DHS awards tagged to Kentucky

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, Kentucky as place-of-performance: 654 records summing to $2,202,837,210.21. A Department of Homeland Security award coded outside KY is out. An award in Kentucky from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Kentucky (KY) excludes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. A Cincinnati-coded award is OH, not this cell. FEMA, CBP, Coast Guard, TSA, and other DHS components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 070.

Six hundred fifty-four awards against $2,202,837,210.21 is a thinner DHS file: fewer rows than a mid-count Hawaii cell, a higher implied mean. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 654 as 654 unique FEMA declarations, unique contractors, or named installations. The overlay Department of Homeland Security in Kentucky is the both-keys table. Kentucky federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without a KY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Louisville, Lexington, and Fort Knox folklore are unpublished. Do not treat 654 as a list of unique Kentucky facilities. Correlation is not causation: Kentucky did not “cause” $2,202,837,210.21 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × KY only.

Fort Knox is not a USAspending field here

$2,202,837,210.21 does not measure FEMA declarations, unique contractors, or named installations. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and a KY place-of-performance tag. FEMA, CBP, Coast Guard, TSA, and other DHS components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 070.

Do not treat 654 awards as a census of FEMA declarations, unique contractors, or named installations. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Kentucky federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $2,202,837,210.21 and 654, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Ohio, Tennessee, and Indiana DHS joins are other pairs, not addends.

Kentucky statewide, not a Louisville-versus-east split

Place of performance KY is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Kentucky (KY) excludes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. A Cincinnati-coded award is OH, not this cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag. Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, and the rest of the counties share one KY stamp.

Louisville, Lexington, and Fort Knox folklore are unpublished. Do not treat 654 as a list of unique Kentucky facilities. This packet does not split $2,202,837,210.21 by city, county, or named facility. 654 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Award stock versus invoices already paid

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,202,837,210.21 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Kentucky confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Kentucky’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 654-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 $2,202,837,210.21.

Citing DHS in Kentucky

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) obligated $2,202,837,210.21 on 654 awards coded to Kentucky. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as FEMA declarations, unique contractors, or named installations.

Prefer Department of Homeland Security in Kentucky if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Kentucky federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to KY. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without the KY filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,202,837,210.21. A usable footnote names Department of Homeland Security, Kentucky, $2,202,837,210.21, and 654. The compact headline $2.20 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $3.37 million is $2,202,837,210.21 divided by 654. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
