Department of Housing and Urban Development federal obligations in Georgia

A high-count HUD file on Georgia

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, Georgia as place-of-performance: 41,079 records summing to $5,270,668,364.32. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside GA is out. An award in Georgia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Georgia (GA) excludes Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, and North Carolina. A Jacksonville-coded award is Florida.

Forty-one thousand seventy-nine awards is a high-count HUD file. Volume can rise on recurring assistance without each row being a new household. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 41,079 as 41,079 unique households, unique landlords, or a rent index. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in Georgia is the both-keys table. Georgia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without a GA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Atlanta and rural PHAs are unpublished. A high count with a mid-billions stock yields a lower implied mean than a thin HUD cell would. Correlation is not causation: Georgia did not “cause” $5,270,668,364.32 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × GA only.

41,079 rows are not 41,079 households

$5,270,668,364.32 does not measure households, unique landlords, or a rent index. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and a GA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 41,079 awards as a census of households, unique landlords, or a rent index. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Georgia federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $5,270,668,364.32 and 41,079, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Florida, Alabama, and South Carolina HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.

Georgia, not an Atlanta-only housing map

Place of performance GA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Georgia (GA) excludes Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, and North Carolina. A Jacksonville-coded award is Florida. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Atlanta and rural PHAs are unpublished. A high count with a mid-billions stock yields a lower implied mean than a thin HUD cell would. This packet does not split $5,270,668,364.32 by city, county, or named facility. 41,079 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Volume versus dollars on the same join

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $5,270,668,364.32 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Georgia confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Georgia’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 41,079-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 $5,270,668,364.32.

Citing HUD in Georgia

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Housing and Urban Development (agency 086) obligated $5,270,668,364.32 on 41,079 awards coded to Georgia. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as households, unique landlords, or a rent index.

Prefer Department of Housing and Urban Development in Georgia if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Georgia federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to GA. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the 086 parent without the GA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $5,270,668,364.32.

A usable footnote names Department of Housing and Urban Development, Georgia, $5,270,668,364.32, and 41,079. The compact headline $5.27 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $128,306 is $5,270,668,364.32 divided by 41,079. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
