Department of Housing and Urban Development federal obligations in West Virginia

HUD awards tagged to West Virginia

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, West Virginia as place-of-performance: 3,658 records summing to $810,179,411.14. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside WV is out. An award in West Virginia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. West Virginia (WV) excludes Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, and Maryland. An Ashland-coded award is Kentucky even if the river story sounds similar.

Three thousand six hundred fifty-eight awards is a high-count HUD file. Recurring instruments can thicken a list without each row being a new housing units. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 3,658 as 3,658 unique housing units, unique PHAs, or voucher households. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in West Virginia is the both-keys table. West Virginia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without an WV filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Charleston, Huntington, and Morgantown share one WV stamp. PIH, CPD, and other HUD components can share awarding-agency 086 without a published bureau pie. Correlation is not causation: West Virginia did not cause $810,179,411.14 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × WV only.

3,658 rows are not 3,658 units

$810,179,411.14 does not measure housing units, unique PHAs, or voucher households. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and an WV place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 3,658 awards as a census of housing units, unique PHAs, or voucher households. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If West Virginia federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $810,179,411.14 and 3,658, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state HUD joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $810,179,411.14 by 3,658 yields about $221,481.52 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical HUD line and not a published median.

West Virginia, not an Ohio River HUD rollup

Place of performance WV is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. West Virginia (WV) excludes Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, and Maryland. An Ashland-coded award is Kentucky even if the river story sounds similar. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Charleston, Huntington, and Morgantown share one WV stamp. This packet does not split $810,179,411.14 by city, county, or named facility. 3,658 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

A thick HUD file, still obligations

Even a thick file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $810,179,411.14 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in West Virginia confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

West Virginia's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 3,658-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 $810,179,411.14.

What this pair does not prove

A large HUD total in West Virginia does not mean the agency caused West Virginia's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Keep $810,179,411.14 labeled as agency 086 obligations with West Virginia place of performance. Neighbor HUD cells among Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, and Maryland are separate joins. This page does not rank West Virginia as a winner or loser.

Recipient names are unpublished in this packet. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to explain $810,179,411.14. Place-of-performance WV can differ from a vendor mailroom. An Ashland-coded award is Kentucky even if the river story sounds similar. A later ingest can restate $810,179,411.14 and 3,658 without changing the join definition: awarding agency 086 crossed with West Virginia.

All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $810,179,411.14.

A usable footnote names Department of Housing and Urban Development, West Virginia, $810,179,411.14, and 3,658. The implied mean near $221,481.52 is $810,179,411.14 divided by 3,658. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset; they do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.
