Department of Housing and Urban Development federal obligations in North Carolina

HUD awards tagged to North Carolina

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, North Carolina as place-of-performance: 29,296 records summing to $5,497,809,985.72. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside NC is out. An award in North Carolina from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. North Carolina (NC) excludes South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia. A Norfolk-coded award is Virginia.

Twenty-nine thousand two hundred ninety-six awards is a thick HUD file. Volume can rise on recurring assistance without each row being a new household. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 29,296 as 29,296 unique households, housing authorities, or a rent index. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in North Carolina is the both-keys table. North Carolina federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without an NC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Charlotte, Raleigh, and rural PHAs are unpublished. Voucher versus block-grant shares are not in the facts. Correlation is not causation: North Carolina did not “cause” $5,497,809,985.72 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × NC only.

29,296 rows are not 29,296 households

$5,497,809,985.72 does not measure households, housing authorities, or a rent index. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and an NC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 29,296 awards as a census of households, housing authorities, or a rent index. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If North Carolina federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $5,497,809,985.72 and 29,296, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.

North Carolina, not a Research Triangle housing map

Place of performance NC is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. North Carolina (NC) excludes South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia. A Norfolk-coded award is Virginia. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Charlotte, Raleigh, and rural PHAs are unpublished. Voucher versus block-grant shares are not in the facts. This packet does not split $5,497,809,985.72 by city, county, or named facility. 29,296 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

High-count housing files still record obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $5,497,809,985.72 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in North Carolina confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

North Carolina’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 29,296-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 $5,497,809,985.72.

Citing HUD in North Carolina

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Housing and Urban Development (agency 086) obligated $5,497,809,985.72 on 29,296 awards coded to North Carolina. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as households, housing authorities, or a rent index.

Prefer Department of Housing and Urban Development in North Carolina if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. North Carolina federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NC. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the 086 parent without the NC filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $5,497,809,985.72.

A usable footnote names Department of Housing and Urban Development, North Carolina, $5,497,809,985.72, and 29,296. The compact headline $5.50 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $187,664 is $5,497,809,985.72 divided by 29,296. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
