Department of Housing and Urban Development federal obligations in Wisconsin

A high-count HUD file on Wisconsin

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, Wisconsin as place-of-performance: 34,095 records summing to $2,449,955,259.94. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside WI is out. An award in Wisconsin from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Wisconsin (WI) excludes Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa. A Chicago-coded award is Illinois even if a Wisconsin PHA appears in folklore.

Thirty-four thousand ninety-five records is a high-count HUD file. Volume can rise on recurring assistance without each row being a new household. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 34,095 as 34,095 unique housing units, voucher households, or named public housing authorities. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in Wisconsin is the both-keys table. Wisconsin federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without a WI filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Milwaukee, Madison, and the rest of the state share one WI stamp. Do not treat the award count as unique authorities. Correlation is not causation: Wisconsin did not “cause” $2,449,955,259.94 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × WI only.

Award rows are not unique households

$2,449,955,259.94 does not measure housing units, voucher households, or named public housing authorities. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and a WI place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 34,095 awards as a census of housing units, voucher households, or named public housing authorities. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Wisconsin federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $2,449,955,259.94 and 34,095, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Illinois, Minnesota, and Michigan HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.

Wisconsin, not a Great Lakes rollup

Place of performance WI is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Wisconsin (WI) excludes Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa. A Chicago-coded award is Illinois even if a Wisconsin PHA appears in folklore. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Milwaukee, Madison, and the rest of the state share one WI stamp. Do not treat the award count as unique authorities. This packet does not split $2,449,955,259.94 by city, county, or named facility. 34,095 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Extreme volume still records obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,449,955,259.94 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Wisconsin confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Wisconsin’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 34,095-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 $2,449,955,259.94.

Citing HUD in Wisconsin

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Housing and Urban Development (agency 086) obligated $2,449,955,259.94 on 34,095 awards coded to Wisconsin. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as housing units, voucher households, or named public housing authorities.

Prefer Department of Housing and Urban Development in Wisconsin if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Wisconsin federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to WI. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the 086 parent without the WI filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,449,955,259.94.

A usable footnote names Department of Housing and Urban Development, Wisconsin, $2,449,955,259.94, and 34,095. The compact headline $2.45 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $71,857 is $2,449,955,259.94 divided by 34,095. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
