Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Missouri
The Department of Homeland Security shows $2,678,143,184.91 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Missouri, across 664 awards. Awarding-agency 070 and Missouri (MO) are the pair. Six hundred sixty-four awards is a thin DHS file. A large implied mean is what few rows do to a multi-billion dollar numerator. The implied mean is about $4.03 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- DHS in Missouri: $2,678,143,184.91 across 664 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $4.03 million per record — a packet quotient, not a typical project.
- Agency 070 × MO is not a measure of disaster declarations, FEMA applicants, or named field offices.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
A thin DHS file on a Missouri tag
Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, Missouri as place-of-performance: 664 records summing to $2,678,143,184.91. A Department of Homeland Security award coded outside MO is out. An award in Missouri from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Missouri (MO) excludes Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. An East St. Louis-coded award is Illinois.
Six hundred sixty-four awards is a thin DHS file. A large implied mean is what few rows do to a multi-billion dollar numerator. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 664 as 664 unique disaster declarations, FEMA applicants, or named field offices. The overlay Department of Homeland Security in Missouri is the both-keys table. Missouri federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without an MO filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
St. Louis and Kansas City are unpublished. Do not treat the award count as two metro emergency lists. Correlation is not causation: Missouri did not “cause” $2,678,143,184.91 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × MO only.
Not a flood-declaration or applicant count
$2,678,143,184.91 does not measure disaster declarations, FEMA applicants, or named field offices. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and an MO place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 664 awards as a census of disaster declarations, FEMA applicants, or named field offices. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Missouri federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $2,678,143,184.91 and 664, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Kansas, Illinois, and Arkansas DHS joins are other pairs, not addends.
Missouri, not a Mississippi River rollup
Place of performance MO is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Missouri (MO) excludes Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. An East St. Louis-coded award is Illinois. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
St. Louis and Kansas City are unpublished. Do not treat the award count as two metro emergency lists. This packet does not split $2,678,143,184.91 by city, county, or named facility. 664 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.
Few rows relative to dollars, still obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,678,143,184.91 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Missouri confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Missouri’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 664-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 $2,678,143,184.91.
Citing DHS in Missouri
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) obligated $2,678,143,184.91 on 664 awards coded to Missouri. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as disaster declarations, FEMA applicants, or named field offices.
Prefer Department of Homeland Security in Missouri if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Missouri federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MO. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without the MO filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,678,143,184.91.
A usable footnote names Department of Homeland Security, Missouri, $2,678,143,184.91, and 664. The compact headline $2.68 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $4.03 million is $2,678,143,184.91 divided by 664. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
