That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a count of disaster declarations, FEMA applicants, or port throughput. Department of Homeland Security in South Carolina is the live overlay for this pair. Keep both keys when quoting $2,683,024,016.39.

Is $2,683,024,016.39 a measure of disaster declarations, FEMA applicants, or port throughput?

No. The packet publishes $2,683,024,016.39 and 1,308 awards for agency 070 inside SC coding. Those other series are unpublished here. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote the dollar total and the award count together. Obligations are not outlays.

Why does this DHS file have 1,308 awards?

That is the award-record count for 070 × SC. Combined with $2,683,024,016.39, the average is about $2.05 million. Modifications and repeat instruments add rows. 1,308 is not unique disaster declarations, FEMA applicants, or port throughput. Later ingests can revise the count. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in South Carolina

The Department of Homeland Security shows $2,683,024,016.39 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to South Carolina, across 1,308 awards. Awarding-agency 070 and South Carolina (SC) are the pair. One thousand three hundred eight awards is a moderate DHS book: thicker than a thin 600-row Homeland file, thinner than a HUD assistance flood. The implied mean is about $2.05 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

DHS awards tagged to South Carolina

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, South Carolina as place-of-performance: 1,308 records summing to $2,683,024,016.39. A Department of Homeland Security award coded outside SC is out. An award in South Carolina from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. South Carolina (SC) excludes North Carolina, Georgia, and any Atlantic tag that is not SC. A Savannah-coded award is Georgia.

One thousand three hundred eight awards is a moderate DHS book: thicker than a thin 600-row Homeland file, thinner than a HUD assistance flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,308 as 1,308 unique disaster declarations, FEMA applicants, or port throughput. The overlay Department of Homeland Security in South Carolina is the both-keys table. South Carolina federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without an SC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Charleston, Columbia, and the Grand Strand share one SC stamp. A FEMA-versus-CBP split is unpublished. Correlation is not causation: South Carolina did not “cause” $2,683,024,016.39 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × SC only.

Not a hurricane or port-throughput census

$2,683,024,016.39 does not measure disaster declarations, FEMA applicants, or port throughput. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and an SC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,308 awards as a census of disaster declarations, FEMA applicants, or port throughput. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If South Carolina federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $2,683,024,016.39 and 1,308, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. North Carolina and Georgia DHS joins are other pairs, not addends.

South Carolina, not a Carolinas rollup

Place of performance SC is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. South Carolina (SC) excludes North Carolina, Georgia, and any Atlantic tag that is not SC. A Savannah-coded award is Georgia. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Charleston, Columbia, and the Grand Strand share one SC stamp. A FEMA-versus-CBP split is unpublished. This packet does not split $2,683,024,016.39 by city, county, or named facility. 1,308 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Moderate DHS book, still commitments

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,683,024,016.39 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in South Carolina confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

South Carolina’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,308-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 $2,683,024,016.39.

Citing DHS in South Carolina

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) obligated $2,683,024,016.39 on 1,308 awards coded to South Carolina. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as disaster declarations, FEMA applicants, or port throughput.

Prefer Department of Homeland Security in South Carolina if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. South Carolina federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to SC. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without the SC filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,683,024,016.39.

A usable footnote names Department of Homeland Security, South Carolina, $2,683,024,016.39, and 1,308. The compact headline $2.68 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2.05 million is $2,683,024,016.39 divided by 1,308. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
