Department of Justice obligations in California 49th District (CA-49)
USAspending.gov tags $100,094,271.22 to Department of Justice inside California 49th District (CA-49) — 147 award records, not outlays. One hundred forty-seven Justice-coded awards equal about two percent of CA-49’s district obligation total, a compact Department of Justice file beside a five-billion-dollar district book. That pair is Department of Justice and California 49th District (CA-49) — not California’s entire federal inflow, not Department of Justice nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 1.7% of this district’s published obligation total ($5,731,438,965.36). Implied average obligation is about $680,913.41 ($100,094,271.22 ÷ 147). Correlation is not causation.

Justice obligations coded to California 49th District (CA-49)
Awarding agency 015 and congressional district CA-49 meet here. $100,094,271.22 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Justice’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to California 49th District (CA-49), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DOJ components or contract versus assistance instruments. 147 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a case docket, a prison census, or a named-grantee file.
Dividing $100,094,271.22 by 147 yields about $680,913.41 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 147 awards is a compact Justice file. It is not a case docket, a prison census, or a named-grantee file. Do not treat CA-49’s 015 cell as a synonym for every Justice account nationwide. Open California 49th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Justice for agency 015 without the CA-49 filter, California federal spending for every awarding agency in the California extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $100,094,271.22.
What Justice contributes to this pair
USAspending labels awarding agency 015 as Department of Justice. That code produced $100,094,271.22 when crossed with California 49th District (CA-49) place of performance. The agency-wide 015 hub does not require CA-49 geography. The district hub does not require Justice. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 147 awards. The packet does not split DOJ components or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: California 49th District (CA-49) did not “cause” $100,094,271.22 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 015 × CA-49 only. It is not a case docket, a prison census, or a named-grantee file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
District geography versus California statewide totals
California 49th District (CA-49) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list CA-49 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other California districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 015. California 49th District (CA-49) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside California. Other California districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 015. California 49th District (CA-49) is a numbered place-of-performance stamp inside California. Other California districts keep their own Justice or non-Justice cells.
California federal spending shows how agency 015 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $100,094,271.22 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split California 49th District (CA-49) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Justice. The district-wide obligation total published here is $5,731,438,965.36; $100,094,271.22 is the Justice slice of that denominator.
Why this is not an outlay register
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $100,094,271.22 is that kind of sum for Department of Justice inside CA-49 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $100,094,271.22 as given.
California’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 147-row Justice cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 147 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($680,913.41) is a concentration statistic, not a typical CA-49 Justice payment.
Live tables versus this snapshot
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Justice (agency 015) obligated $100,094,271.22 on 147 awards coded to California 49th District (CA-49). Name Department of Justice and California 49th District (CA-49) together. Keep the obligation word. If California 49th District or Department of Justice has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a case docket, a prison census, or a named-grantee file. 1.7% of $5,731,438,965.36 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep Department of Justice, California 49th District (CA-49), $100,094,271.22, and 147 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Justice is the 015 parent without a CA-49 filter. California federal spending is the California parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Justice does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
What this packet refuses to infer
147 awards is a compact Justice file. It is not a case docket, a prison census, or a named-grantee file. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $680,913.41) and the district share (1.7% of $5,731,438,965.36) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer California 49th District and Department of Justice if the live tables moved.
Do not rank California 49th District (CA-49) as more Justice-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 015 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 015 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $100,094,271.22 and 147 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
Questions
- How much Justice spending is coded to California 49th District (CA-49)?
- USAspending.gov lists $100,094,271.22 in Department of Justice obligations across 147 awards with place of performance in California 49th District (CA-49). Agency 015 × CA-49 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not California’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 1.7% of the district’s published total ($5,731,438,965.36). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $680,913.41, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $100,094,271.22 include every Justice program in CA-49?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split DOJ components or contract versus assistance instruments. $100,094,271.22 is the combined obligation sum for agency 015 inside CA-49 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Justice and California 49th District to inspect parent tables. 147 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $100,094,271.22 cash already paid in California 49th District (CA-49)?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $100,094,271.22 as checks already cleared in California 49th District (CA-49) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 147 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
- What share of CA-49 obligations is agency 015?
- Agency 015 accounts for 1.7% of $5,731,438,965.36 in district-wide obligations on this packet. That share is $100,094,271.22 ÷ $5,731,438,965.36. It is not a ranking of California districts and not an outlay share. Other awarding agencies occupy the remaining district total on other ties.
USAspending.gov congressional district place-of-performance joined to awarding agency. District 90/98 (multi/non-voting placeholders) are omitted. Obligations are not outlays.
