Department of Housing and Urban Development federal obligations in Rhode Island

A high-count HUD file on Rhode Island

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, Rhode Island as place-of-performance: 9,402 records summing to $1,569,855,093.53. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside RI is out. An award in Rhode Island from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Rhode Island (RI) excludes Massachusetts and Connecticut. A Boston-coded award is Massachusetts.

Nine thousand four hundred two awards is a thick HUD file for a small state. Volume can rise on recurring assistance without each row being a new household. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 9,402 as 9,402 unique vouchers, unique public housing authorities, or home prices. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in Rhode Island is the both-keys table. Rhode Island federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without an RI filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

A small implied mean is what a large row count does to a $1,569,855,093.53 numerator. It is not a typical voucher payment. Correlation is not causation: Rhode Island did not cause $1,569,855,093.53 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × RI only.

Award rows are not unique households

$1,569,855,093.53 does not measure vouchers, unique public housing authorities, or home prices. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and an RI place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 9,402 awards as a census of vouchers, unique public housing authorities, or home prices. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Rhode Island federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $1,569,855,093.53 and 9,402, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Massachusetts and Connecticut HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.

Rhode Island, not a Providence-Boston housing rollup

Place of performance RI is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Rhode Island (RI) excludes Massachusetts and Connecticut. A Boston-coded award is Massachusetts. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

A small implied mean is what a large row count does to a $1,569,855,093.53 numerator. It is not a typical voucher payment. This packet does not split $1,569,855,093.53 by city, county, or named facility. 9,402 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Thick voucher-style volume, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,569,855,093.53 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Rhode Island confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Rhode Island’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 9,402-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 $1,569,855,093.53.

Citing HUD in Rhode Island

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Housing and Urban Development (agency 086) obligated $1,569,855,093.53 on 9,402 awards coded to Rhode Island. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as vouchers, unique public housing authorities, or home prices.

Department of Housing and Urban Development is the 086 parent without the RI filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,569,855,093.53.

A usable footnote names Department of Housing and Urban Development, Rhode Island, $1,569,855,093.53, and 9,402. The compact headline $1.57 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $166,970 is $1,569,855,093.53 divided by 9,402. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
