Department of Housing and Urban Development federal obligations in Kentucky

HUD awards tagged to Kentucky

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, Kentucky as place-of-performance: 12,208 records summing to $2,625,952,590.63. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside KY is out. An award in Kentucky from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Kentucky (KY) excludes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. A Cincinnati-coded award is Ohio.

Twelve thousand two hundred eight records is a thick HUD assistance file. Volume can rise on recurring rows without each row being a new household. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 12,208 as 12,208 unique housing units, voucher households, or named public housing authorities. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in Kentucky is the both-keys table. Kentucky federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without a KY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Louisville, Lexington, and eastern Kentucky share one KY stamp. A county table would be a different extract. Correlation is not causation: Kentucky did not “cause” $2,625,952,590.63 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × KY only.

Not a census of voucher households

$2,625,952,590.63 does not measure housing units, voucher households, or named public housing authorities. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and a KY place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 12,208 awards as a census of housing units, voucher households, or named public housing authorities. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Kentucky federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $2,625,952,590.63 and 12,208, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Ohio, Tennessee, and Indiana HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.

Kentucky, not a Louisville bi-state rollup

Place of performance KY is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Kentucky (KY) excludes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. A Cincinnati-coded award is Ohio. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Louisville, Lexington, and eastern Kentucky share one KY stamp. A county table would be a different extract. This packet does not split $2,625,952,590.63 by city, county, or named facility. 12,208 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Thick assistance file, still commitments

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,625,952,590.63 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Kentucky confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Kentucky’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 12,208-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 $2,625,952,590.63.

Citing HUD in Kentucky

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Housing and Urban Development (agency 086) obligated $2,625,952,590.63 on 12,208 awards coded to Kentucky. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as housing units, voucher households, or named public housing authorities.

Prefer Department of Housing and Urban Development in Kentucky if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Kentucky federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to KY. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the 086 parent without the KY filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,625,952,590.63.

A usable footnote names Department of Housing and Urban Development, Kentucky, $2,625,952,590.63, and 12,208. The compact headline $2.63 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $215,101 is $2,625,952,590.63 divided by 12,208. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
