Department of Homeland Security obligations in Texas 27th District (TX-27)

Reading agency 070 inside TX-27

Awarding agency 070 and congressional district TX-27 meet here. $16,227,684,848.94 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 27th District (TX-27), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments. 162 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $16,227,684,848.94 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $22,714,168,028.01; the 71.4% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Texas 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 $16,227,684,848.94 when crossed with Texas 27th District (TX-27) place of performance. The agency-wide 070 hub does not require TX-27 geography. The district hub does not require DHS. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 162 awards. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Texas 27th District (TX-27) did not “cause” $16,227,684,848.94 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 070 × TX-27 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 Texas 27th District is coded

Texas 27th District (TX-27) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list TX-27 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 070. Texas 27th District (TX-27) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 070. Texas 27th District (TX-27) is a place-of-performance code, not a statement that every obligated dollar was spent on the Texas Gulf or inland counties that share the stamp. Other Texas districts are separate joins.

Texas federal spending shows how agency 070 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $16,227,684,848.94 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Texas 27th District (TX-27) 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 $22,714,168,028.01; $16,227,684,848.94 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. $16,227,684,848.94 is that kind of sum for Department of Homeland Security inside TX-27 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 $16,227,684,848.94 as given.

Texas’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 162-row DHS cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 162 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 ($100,170,894.13) is a concentration statistic, not a typical TX-27 DHS payment.

Keep Department of Homeland Security, Texas 27th District (TX-27), $16,227,684,848.94, and 162 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without a TX-27 filter. Texas federal spending is the Texas 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 TX-27 × 070 snapshot

162 awards is a compact DHS file relative to the dollar total. Treat the count as action records, not unique recipients. 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 $100,170,894.13) and the district share (71.4% of $22,714,168,028.01) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 27th District and Department of Homeland Security if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Texas 27th District (TX-27) 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 $16,227,684,848.94 and 162 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
