Department of Homeland Security obligations in Virginia 10th District (VA-10)

Reading agency 070 inside VA-10

Awarding agency 070 and congressional district VA-10 meet here. $1,831,473,116.09 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 Virginia 10th District (VA-10), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments. 469 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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.

This page reports homeland-security awarding activity USAspending tagged to this district. The headline $1,831,473,116.09 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $27,507,429,805.20; the 6.7% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Virginia 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 $1,831,473,116.09 when crossed with Virginia 10th District (VA-10) place of performance. The agency-wide 070 hub does not require VA-10 geography. The district hub does not require DHS. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 469 awards. The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Virginia 10th District (VA-10) did not cause $1,831,473,116.09 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 070 × VA-10 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.

How Virginia 10th District is coded

Virginia 10th District (VA-10) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list VA-10 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Virginia districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 070. Virginia 10th District (VA-10) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Virginia. Other Virginia districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 070. Virginia 10th District (VA-10) is a numbered place-of-performance stamp inside Virginia. Agency 070 is not agency 019, 080, or 069.

Virginia federal spending shows how agency 070 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $1,831,473,116.09 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Virginia 10th District (VA-10) 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 $27,507,429,805.20; $1,831,473,116.09 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. $1,831,473,116.09 is that kind of sum for Department of Homeland Security inside VA-10 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 $1,831,473,116.09 as given.

Virginia's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 469-row DHS cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 469 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 ($3,905,059.95) is a concentration statistic, not a typical VA-10 DHS payment.

Parents of this tie: district, agency, state

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) obligated $1,831,473,116.09 on 469 awards coded to Virginia 10th District (VA-10). Name Department of Homeland Security and Virginia 10th District (VA-10) together. Keep the obligation word. If Virginia 10th District or Department of Homeland Security has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a component census, a border-crossing count, or a named-contractor file. 6.7% of $27,507,429,805.20 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Department of Homeland Security, Virginia 10th District (VA-10), $1,831,473,116.09, and 469 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without a VA-10 filter. Virginia federal spending is the Virginia 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 VA-10 × 070 snapshot

469 awards is a moderate DHS file. Component splits remain unpublished. Sibling VA-10 ties for State, NASA, and Transportation sit on other pages. Adding those dollars into this DHS join would mix awarding agencies. 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 $3,905,059.95) and the district share (6.7% of $27,507,429,805.20) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Virginia 10th District and Department of Homeland Security if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Virginia 10th District (VA-10) 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 $1,831,473,116.09 and 469 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

USAspending.gov lists $1,831,473,116.09 in Department of Homeland Security obligations across 469 awards with place of performance in Virginia 10th District (VA-10). Agency 070 × VA-10 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Virginia's complete federal ledger. The cell is 6.7% of the district's published total ($27,507,429,805.20). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $3,905,059.95, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $1,831,473,116.09 include every DHS program in VA-10?

The packet does not split DHS components or contract versus assistance instruments. $1,831,473,116.09 is the combined obligation sum for agency 070 inside VA-10 coding.

Is $1,831,473,116.09 cash already paid in Virginia 10th District (VA-10)?

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.

Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Do FEC donations fund these DHS awards in VA-10?
