HUD 086 overlapping North Dakota
Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, North Dakota as place-of-performance: 4,545 records summing to $634,173,966.85. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside ND is out. An award in North Dakota from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. North Dakota (ND) excludes Minnesota, South Dakota, and Montana. A Fargo-coded award with a Minnesota place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
4,545 awards against $634,173,966.85 is a thick 4,545-award housing file, many small rows against a large Plains sum. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 4545 as 4545 unique housing units, voucher households, or named properties. Department of Housing and Urban Development in North Dakota is the both-keys table. North Dakota federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without an ND filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
A thick file can still hide continuations and modifications. Unique properties are unpublished. Do not invent named developments in Fargo, Bismarck, or Grand Forks. Correlation is not causation: North Dakota did not cause $634,173,966.85 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × ND only.
Voucher folklore is not a USAspending field
$634,173,966.85 does not measure housing units, voucher households, or named properties. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and an ND place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 4545 awards as a census of housing units, voucher households, or named properties. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If North Dakota federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $634,173,966.85 and 4545, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.
North Dakota, not a Fargo-Bismarck map
Place of performance ND is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. North Dakota (ND) excludes Minnesota, South Dakota, and Montana. A Fargo-coded award with a Minnesota place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not split $634,173,966.85 by city, county, or named facility. 4545 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
Thousands of HUD awards, still obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $634,173,966.85 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in North Dakota confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
North Dakota’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 4,545 awards 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 $634,173,966.85. Sharing a geography with Department of Housing and Urban Development does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.
