Department of Homeland Security obligations in Texas 16th District (TX-16)

A place-of-performance join: DHS × TX-16

Awarding agency 070 and congressional district TX-16 meet here. $1,705,611,968.32 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 Texas 16th District (TX-16), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments. 188 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a component census, a border-crossing count, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $1,705,611,968.32 by 188 yields about $9,072,404.09 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 188 awards is a compact DHS file. Matching Georgia 5th's row count does not merge the two states. Do not treat TX-16's 070 cell as a synonym for every DHS account nationwide. Open Texas 16th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Homeland Security for agency 070 without a TX-16 filter, Texas federal spending for every awarding agency in the Texas extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,705,611,968.32.

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, not as a named-vendor list

USAspending labels awarding agency 070 as Department of Homeland Security. That code produced $1,705,611,968.32 when crossed with Texas 16th District (TX-16) place of performance. The agency-wide 070 hub does not require TX-16 geography. The district hub does not require DHS. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 188 awards. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Texas 16th District (TX-16) did not cause $1,705,611,968.32 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 070 × TX-16 only. This cell 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.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,705,611,968.32 is that kind of sum for Department of Homeland Security inside TX-16 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 $1,705,611,968.32 as given.

Texas's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 188-row DHS cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 188 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 ($9,072,404.09) is a concentration statistic, not a typical TX-16 DHS payment.

Using 17.5% and $9,072,404.09 without overclaiming

188 awards is a compact DHS file. Matching Georgia 5th's row count does not merge the two states. An eighteen-percent share against a smaller Texas district book is not a ranking versus Georgia 5th. Denominators differ. 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 $9,072,404.09) and the district share (17.5% of $9,743,851,214.38) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 16th District and Department of Homeland Security if the live tables moved.

All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
