Department of Housing and Urban Development federal obligations in Washington

HUD awards tagged to Washington state

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, Washington as place-of-performance: 11,225 records summing to $5,605,533,031.45. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside WA is out. An award in Washington from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Washington (WA) excludes Oregon, Idaho, and the District of Columbia. HUD in D.C. would be a DC place-of-performance key, not this page.

Eleven thousand two hundred twenty-five awards is a mid-thick HUD file: more rows than a thin fiscal-vehicle list, fewer than an extreme assistance flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 11,225 as 11,225 unique households, housing authorities, or a rent index. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in Washington is the both-keys table. Washington federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without a WA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Seattle and Spokane housing authorities are unpublished. Voucher and block-grant labels are not in the facts. Correlation is not causation: Washington did not “cause” $5,605,533,031.45 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × WA only.

11,225 rows are not 11,225 households

$5,605,533,031.45 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 a WA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 11,225 awards as a census of households, housing authorities, or a rent index. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Washington federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $5,605,533,031.45 and 11,225, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Oregon and Idaho HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.

WA is not D.C. and not Oregon

Place of performance WA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Washington (WA) excludes Oregon, Idaho, and the District of Columbia. HUD in D.C. would be a DC place-of-performance key, not this page. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Seattle and Spokane housing authorities are unpublished. Voucher and block-grant labels are not in the facts. This packet does not split $5,605,533,031.45 by city, county, or named facility. 11,225 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Housing instruments still record obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $5,605,533,031.45 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Washington confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Washington’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 11,225-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 $5,605,533,031.45.

Citing HUD in Washington state

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Housing and Urban Development (agency 086) obligated $5,605,533,031.45 on 11,225 awards coded to Washington. 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 Washington if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Washington federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to WA. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the 086 parent without the WA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $5,605,533,031.45.

A usable footnote names Department of Housing and Urban Development, Washington, $5,605,533,031.45, and 11,225. The compact headline $5.61 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $499,379 is $5,605,533,031.45 divided by 11,225. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
