Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Rhode Island

Agency 070 overlapping Rhode Island

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, Rhode Island as place-of-performance: 427 records summing to $1,019,824,467.16. A Department of Homeland Security award coded outside RI is out. An award in Rhode Island from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Rhode Island (RI) excludes Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. A Providence-coded award with a Massachusetts place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

427 awards against $1,019,824,467.16 is a 427-award homeland-security file on a small state. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 427 as 427 unique named storms, port-of-entry counts, or component headcounts. Department of Homeland Security in Rhode Island is the both-keys table. Rhode Island federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without an RI filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

A small state can still carry a nine-figure DHS cell. Population is not a packet fact and is not a cause. Correlation is not causation: Rhode Island did not cause $1,019,824,467.16 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × RI only.

Coastal-security folklore is unpublished

$1,019,824,467.16 does not measure named storms, port-of-entry counts, or component headcounts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and an RI place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 427 awards as a census of named storms, port-of-entry counts, or component headcounts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Rhode Island federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $1,019,824,467.16 and 427, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DHS joins are other pairs, not addends.

Rhode Island statewide, not a bay-only map

Place of performance RI is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Rhode Island (RI) excludes Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. A Providence-coded award with a Massachusetts place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $1,019,824,467.16 by city, county, or named facility. 427 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Four hundred twenty-seven obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,019,824,467.16 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Rhode Island confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Rhode Island’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 427 awards 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 $1,019,824,467.16. Sharing a geography with Department of Homeland Security does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing DHS in Rhode Island

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) obligated $1,019,824,467.16 on 427 awards coded to Rhode Island. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named storms, port-of-entry counts, or component headcounts.

Prefer Department of Homeland Security in Rhode Island if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Rhode Island federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to RI. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without the RI filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,019,824,467.16.

A usable footnote names Department of Homeland Security, Rhode Island, $1,019,824,467.16, and 427. The compact headline $1.02B is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2,388,347.70 is $1,019,824,467.16 divided by 427. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Rhode Island DHS is not the State Department 072 overlay

Rhode Island’s DHS overlay is 427 awards totaling $1,019,824,467.16 on agency 070. Department of State in Rhode Island uses 072. Bay and port-of-entry folklore are unpublished. A small state can still carry a nine-figure homeland-security cell.
