- HUD (086) in New Mexico: $1,159,371,656.16 across 4,506 awards.
- Average obligation per award is about $257,295.09.
- The total is obligations, not outlays, and not nationwide HUD.
- NM is place of performance, not a metro-housing split.
What the HUD-New Mexico join is
Awarding agency 086 and place-of-performance state NM meet here. $1,159,371,656.16 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Housing and Urban Development's nationwide budget, not New Mexico's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Albuquerque housing-authority folklore and statewide rental-assistance stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a unit-by-unit housing census.
4,506 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — thousands of award actions behind a billion-dollar obligation total. A long row list can still mix large and small instruments. The join does not rank New Mexico against other states and does not name public-housing agencies inside the extract.

4,506 HUD actions under one New Mexico filter
Dividing $1,159,371,656.16 by 4,506 yields about $257,295.09 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical housing-authority grant. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census and not a count of housing units. Authority names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.
Albuquerque housing-authority folklore and statewide rental-assistance stories is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Agency names and recipient rows live on the overlay table, not in this narrative's extra columns.
Agency 086 without a New Mexico overlay is a different total
The agency-wide Department of Housing and Urban Development page aggregates 086 without requiring NM geography. The New Mexico federal spending page aggregates all agencies with New Mexico place of performance. Only Department of Housing and Urban Development in New Mexico applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 4,506 awards and $1,159,371,656.16.
Place of performance in New Mexico is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list NM while later work occurs in Texas or Arizona. HUD awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a property manager's office sits in Albuquerque. This packet does not split Albuquerque from Santa Fe or Las Cruces.
Obligations, not outlays
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $1,159,371,656.16 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in New Mexico over-reads the field.
Award count 4,506 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the New Mexico-HUD overlay. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.
What this pair does not prove
A large HUD total in New Mexico does not mean the agency caused New Mexico's housing mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between population and housing awards is expected; it is not a finding about affordability or waste.
Keep $1,159,371,656.16 labeled as agency 086 obligations with New Mexico place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An agency name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.
How to cite the New Mexico-HUD pair
A clean footnote names awarding agency 086 (Department of Housing and Urban Development), New Mexico place of performance, $1,159,371,656.16 in obligations, and 4,506 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $1,159,371,656.16 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $257,295.09 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical housing-authority grant.
Department of Housing and Urban Development in New Mexico, New Mexico federal spending, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $1,159,371,656.16 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Albuquerque-versus-Santa Fe folklore is not a metro split in this packet. A long award list is still a record count, including modifications. Unique recipients are not published here. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.
