Department of Housing and Urban Development federal obligations in Missouri

A high-count HUD file on Missouri

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, Missouri as place-of-performance: 18,878 records summing to $2,714,728,303.23. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside MO is out. An award in Missouri from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Missouri (MO) excludes Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. A Kansas City, Kansas-coded award is KS.

Eighteen thousand eight hundred seventy-eight records 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 18,878 as 18,878 unique housing units, voucher households, or named public housing authorities. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in Missouri is the both-keys table. Missouri federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without an MO filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

St. Louis and Kansas City are unpublished. Do not treat the award count as two metro lists glued together. Correlation is not causation: Missouri did not “cause” $2,714,728,303.23 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × MO only.

Award rows are not unique households

$2,714,728,303.23 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 an MO place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 18,878 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 Missouri federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $2,714,728,303.23 and 18,878, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Kansas, Illinois, and Arkansas HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.

Missouri, not a two-city bi-state rollup

Place of performance MO is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Missouri (MO) excludes Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. A Kansas City, Kansas-coded award is KS. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

St. Louis and Kansas City are unpublished. Do not treat the award count as two metro lists glued together. This packet does not split $2,714,728,303.23 by city, county, or named facility. 18,878 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

High volume still records commitments

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,714,728,303.23 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Missouri confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Missouri’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 18,878-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 $2,714,728,303.23.

Citing HUD in Missouri

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Housing and Urban Development (agency 086) obligated $2,714,728,303.23 on 18,878 awards coded to Missouri. 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 Missouri if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Missouri federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MO. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the 086 parent without the MO filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,714,728,303.23.

A usable footnote names Department of Housing and Urban Development, Missouri, $2,714,728,303.23, and 18,878. The compact headline $2.71 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $143,804 is $2,714,728,303.23 divided by 18,878. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
