Department of Housing and Urban Development federal obligations in Iowa
Department of Housing and Urban Development shows $1,105,978,456.32 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Iowa, across 5,796 awards. Awarding-agency 086 and Iowa (IA) are the pair. 5,796 awards against $1,105,978,456.32 is a thick 5,796-award housing file, many small rows against a large sum. The implied mean is about $190,817.54 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

HUD 086 overlapping Iowa
Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, Iowa as place-of-performance: 5,796 records summing to $1,105,978,456.32. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside IA is out. An award in Iowa from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Iowa (IA) excludes Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. A Des Moines-coded award with an Illinois place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
5,796 awards against $1,105,978,456.32 is a thick 5,796-award housing file, many small rows against a large sum. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 5796 as 5796 unique housing units, voucher households, or named properties. Department of Housing and Urban Development in Iowa is the both-keys table. Iowa federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without an IA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
A thick file can still hide continuations and modifications. Unique properties are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Iowa did not cause $1,105,978,456.32 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × IA only.
Voucher folklore is not a USAspending field
$1,105,978,456.32 does not measure housing units, voucher households, or named properties. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and an IA place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 5796 awards as a census of housing units, voucher households, or named properties. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Iowa federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $1,105,978,456.32 and 5796, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.
Iowa, not a Des Moines-only map
Place of performance IA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Iowa (IA) excludes Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. A Des Moines-coded award with an Illinois place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not split $1,105,978,456.32 by city, county, or named facility. 5796 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
Thousands of awards, still obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,105,978,456.32 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Iowa confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Iowa’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 5,796 awards 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 $1,105,978,456.32. Sharing a geography with Department of Housing and Urban Development does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Thousands of HUD rows are not a unit census
Iowa’s HUD overlay stores 5796 awards against $1,105,978,456.32. That density can include recurring assistance lines. Do not convert the mean near $190,817.54 into a typical rent subsidy. Arkansas and South Dakota HUD pages in this slice are other state tags.
