Department of Housing and Urban Development federal obligations in Montana

HUD awards tagged to Montana

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, Montana as place-of-performance: 2,178 records summing to $941,920,666.19. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside MT is out. An award in Montana from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Montana (MT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota. A Williston-coded award is North Dakota even if the bakken story sounds similar.

Two thousand one hundred seventy-eight awards sit behind $941,920,666.19. That row count can mix large instruments with smaller modifications. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 2,178 as 2,178 unique housing units, unique PHAs, or voucher households. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in Montana is the both-keys table. Montana federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without an MT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Billings, Missoula, and Great Falls share one MT stamp. PIH, CPD, and other HUD components can share awarding-agency 086 without a published bureau pie. Correlation is not causation: Montana did not cause $941,920,666.19 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × MT only.

2,178 rows are not 2,178 units

$941,920,666.19 does not measure housing units, unique PHAs, or voucher households. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and an MT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 2,178 awards as a census of housing units, unique PHAs, or voucher households. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Montana federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $941,920,666.19 and 2,178, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state HUD joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $941,920,666.19 by 2,178 yields about $432,470.46 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical HUD line and not a published median.

Montana, not a Northern Plains HUD rollup

Place of performance MT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Montana (MT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota. A Williston-coded award is North Dakota even if the bakken story sounds similar. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Billings, Missoula, and Great Falls share one MT stamp. This packet does not split $941,920,666.19 by city, county, or named facility. 2,178 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Assistance rows, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $941,920,666.19 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Montana confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Montana's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 2,178-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 $941,920,666.19.

What this pair does not prove

A large HUD total in Montana does not mean the agency caused Montana's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Keep $941,920,666.19 labeled as agency 086 obligations with Montana place of performance. Neighbor HUD cells among Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota are separate joins. This page does not rank Montana as a winner or loser.

Recipient names are unpublished in this packet. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to explain $941,920,666.19. Place-of-performance MT can differ from a vendor mailroom. A Williston-coded award is North Dakota even if the bakken story sounds similar. A later ingest can restate $941,920,666.19 and 2,178 without changing the join definition: awarding agency 086 crossed with Montana.

Citing HUD in Montana

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Housing and Urban Development (agency 086) obligated $941,920,666.19 on 2,178 awards coded to Montana. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as housing units, unique PHAs, or voucher households.

Prefer Department of Housing and Urban Development in Montana if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Montana federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MT. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the 086 parent without the MT filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $941,920,666.19.

A usable footnote names Department of Housing and Urban Development, Montana, $941,920,666.19, and 2,178. The implied mean near $432,470.46 is $941,920,666.19 divided by 2,178. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset; they do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.
