Department of Homeland Security obligations in New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03)

Awarding agency 070 and New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03) meet at $6,842,987,377.30 in USAspending.gov obligations, spread across 171 awards. One hundred seventy-one DHS-coded awards equal about twenty percent of NJ-03’s district obligation total, a one-fifth homeland-security column that is not New Jersey’s statewide DHS total. That pair is Department of Homeland Security and New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03) — not New Jersey’s entire federal inflow, not Department of Homeland Security nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 20.0% of this district’s published obligation total ($34,150,202,747.33). Implied average obligation is about $40,017,470.04 ($6,842,987,377.30 ÷ 171). Correlation is not causation.

Reading agency 070 inside NJ-03

Awarding agency 070 and congressional district NJ-03 meet here. $6,842,987,377.30 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 New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments. 171 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a component census, a border-crossing count, or a named-contractor file.

This page reports homeland-security awarding activity USAspending tagged to this district. The headline $6,842,987,377.30 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $34,150,202,747.33; the 20.0% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of New Jersey districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays.

Agency 070 without inventing a component pie

USAspending labels awarding agency 070 as Department of Homeland Security. That code produced $6,842,987,377.30 when crossed with New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03) place of performance. The agency-wide 070 hub does not require NJ-03 geography. The district hub does not require DHS. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 171 awards. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03) did not “cause” $6,842,987,377.30 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 070 × NJ-03 only. It 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.

How New Jersey Jersey 3rd District is coded

New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list NJ-03 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other New Jersey districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 070. New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside New Jersey. Other New Jersey districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 070. New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03) is a numbered place-of-performance geography inside New Jersey. Other New Jersey districts keep their own agency joins.

New Jersey federal spending shows how agency 070 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $6,842,987,377.30 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03) 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 $34,150,202,747.33; $6,842,987,377.30 is the DHS slice of that denominator.

What the dollar figure is allowed to mean

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $6,842,987,377.30 is that kind of sum for Department of Homeland Security inside NJ-03 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 $6,842,987,377.30 as given.

New Jersey’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 171-row DHS cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 171 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 ($40,017,470.04) is a concentration statistic, not a typical NJ-03 DHS payment.

Parents of this tie: district, agency, state

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) obligated $6,842,987,377.30 on 171 awards coded to New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03). Name Department of Homeland Security and New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03) together. Keep the obligation word.

Keep Department of Homeland Security, New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03), $6,842,987,377.30, and 171 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without a NJ-03 filter. New Jersey federal spending is the New Jersey 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.

Limits of the NJ-03 × 070 snapshot

171 awards is a compact-to-moderate DHS file. The implied mean and the district share describe this NJ-03 cell only. 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 $40,017,470.04) and the district share (20.0% of $34,150,202,747.33) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer New Jersey 3rd District and Department of Homeland Security if the live tables moved.

Do not rank New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03) 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 $6,842,987,377.30 and 171 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Agency 070 × NJ-03 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not New Jersey’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 20.0% of the district’s published total ($34,150,202,747.33). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $40,017,470.04, a ratio of those two facts only.
Does $6,842,987,377.30 include every DHS program in NJ-03?

The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments. $6,842,987,377.30 is the combined obligation sum for agency 070 inside NJ-03 coding.

Is $6,842,987,377.30 cash already paid in New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03)?
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 $6,842,987,377.30 as checks already cleared in New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 171 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
Do FEC donations fund these DHS awards in NJ-03?
No. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing New Jersey geography does not mean donations funded $6,842,987,377.30 in New Jersey 3rd District (NJ-03).
