Department of Homeland Security obligations in Texas 37th District (TX-37)

DHS obligations coded to Texas 37th District (TX-37)

Awarding agency 070 and congressional district TX-37 meet here. $1,543,928,880.62 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 37th District (TX-37), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments. 85 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $1,543,928,880.62 by 85 yields about $18,163,869.18 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 85 awards is a thin DHS file. Do not invent components or contractors to explain the dollars. Do not treat TX-37's 070 cell as a synonym for every DHS account nationwide. Open Texas 37th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Homeland Security for agency 070 without a TX-37 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 $1,543,928,880.62.

What DHS contributes to this pair

USAspending labels awarding agency 070 as Department of Homeland Security. That code produced $1,543,928,880.62 when crossed with Texas 37th District (TX-37) place of performance. The agency-wide 070 hub does not require TX-37 geography. The district hub does not require DHS. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 85 awards. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Texas 37th District (TX-37) did not cause $1,543,928,880.62 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 070 × TX-37 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.

District geography versus Texas statewide totals

Texas 37th District (TX-37) 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-37 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 070. Texas 37th District (TX-37) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 070. Texas 37th District (TX-37) is not Texas 16th District. Same awarding-agency code 070, different stamp, different row count.

Texas federal spending shows how agency 070 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $1,543,928,880.62 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Texas 37th District (TX-37) 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 $16,187,854,295.95; $1,543,928,880.62 is the DHS slice of that denominator.

Why this is not an outlay register

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,543,928,880.62 is that kind of sum for Department of Homeland Security inside TX-37 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 $1,543,928,880.62 as given.

Texas's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 85-row DHS cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 85 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 ($18,163,869.18) is a concentration statistic, not a typical TX-37 DHS payment.

Keep Department of Homeland Security, Texas 37th District (TX-37), $1,543,928,880.62, and 85 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without a TX-37 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.

What this packet refuses to infer

85 awards is a thin DHS file. Do not invent components or contractors to explain the dollars. A thinner file than TX-16 does not rank TX-37 as less homeland-security-dependent. This page does not publish a league table. 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 $18,163,869.18) and the district share (9.5% of $16,187,854,295.95) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 37th District and Department of Homeland Security if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Texas 37th District (TX-37) 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 $1,543,928,880.62 and 85 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much DHS spending is coded to Texas 37th District (TX-37)?

USAspending.gov lists $1,543,928,880.62 in Department of Homeland Security obligations across 85 awards with place of performance in Texas 37th District (TX-37). Agency 070 × TX-37 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Texas's complete federal ledger. The cell is 9.5% of the district's published total ($16,187,854,295.95). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $18,163,869.18, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $1,543,928,880.62 include every DHS program in TX-37?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments. $1,543,928,880.62 is the combined obligation sum for agency 070 inside TX-37 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Homeland Security and Texas 37th District to inspect parent tables. 85 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $1,543,928,880.62 cash already paid in Texas 37th District (TX-37)?

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 $1,543,928,880.62 as checks already cleared in Texas 37th District (TX-37) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 85 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

What share of TX-37 obligations is agency 070?

Agency 070 accounts for 9.5% of $16,187,854,295.95 in district-wide obligations on this packet. That share is $1,543,928,880.62 ÷ $16,187,854,295.95. It is not a ranking of Texas districts and not an outlay share. Other awarding agencies occupy the remaining district total on other ties.
