Department of Justice federal obligations in Georgia

Justice awards tagged to Georgia

This page is a join of two USAspending.gov fields: awarding agency Department of Justice (code 015) and place-of-performance Georgia. The extract sums to $1,445,442,900.23 on 2,732 awards. Those facts describe a coding intersection. They do not show that Department of Justice spending caused Georgia outcomes, or that Georgia caused the federal award book.

The pair is not a Georgia crime ranking or a count of federal inmates. Correlation of an agency label with a state code is not causation. Place-of-performance can follow a U.S. Attorney’s office, a Bureau of Prisons facility, a grant recipient, or a contractor. Work tagged to Georgia can involve parties elsewhere, and Georgia work can be coded to another state.

FBI Uniform Crime Reports, state court caseloads, and prison-population surveys are other series. Mixing any of those series with $1,445,442,900.23 leaves the USAspending award file. The 2,732 figure counts award records, including modifications present in the extract, not unique people, firms, or facilities.

Twenty-seven hundred rows under $1.45 billion

Two thousand seven hundred thirty-two awards under a $1.45 billion book is a midsize justice tape. Dividing $1,445,442,900.23 by 2,732 awards yields an implied mean near $529,079. That quotient is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical award size and not a median. A few large vehicles can pull the average while many smaller rows sit below it.

Volume and dollars are different columns. Cite both 2,732 and $1,445,442,900.23. USAspending.gov is the source. SpendingVault does not recast $529,079 as a product schedule or a beneficiary payment.

Later ingests can revise $1,445,442,900.23 and 2,732. This prose is a packet snapshot. The overlay is the live table. If those two disagree, use the overlay. Keep the obligation label so the cell is not read as cash already paid in Georgia.

Georgia statewide versus DOJ nationwide

Georgia’s all-agency hub includes every awarding agency with performance in the state. $1,445,442,900.23 is only the Department of Justice cell inside Georgia. The Department of Justice national hub includes every state. This tie is the overlap, nothing more.

State budget documents in Georgia answer a different question. They are not the source of the 2,732 federal award records. If a chart mixes a General Fund table with this cell, the chart has left the USAspending.gov series.

Detention, grant, and litigation-support vehicles can share the 2,732-row cell. This packet does not split FBI, BOP, USMS, or Office of Justice Programs rows. Do not rank Georgia as more or less safe because $1,445,442,900.23 appears next to the state code. Award-file dollars are not crime counts.

Commitments on justice awards

An obligation records a legal commitment on an award. An outlay records cash leaving the Treasury. $1,445,442,900.23 is the first series. Using it as a proxy for checks already issued in Georgia will misstate timing. SpendingVault does not convert this cell into cash.

Multi-year vehicles can remain open after the obligation posts. Cite the pair as agency 015 × Georgia, $1,445,442,900.23, 2,732 awards, obligations only.

Overlay, state hub, and agency hub

The Georgia × Department of Justice overlay holds the structured rows behind 2,732 awards and $1,445,442,900.23. The Georgia state page and the Department of Justice agency page are the parents. The ties index lists other state–agency pairs on the same obligation basis.

Those views do not add a program-code mix or a unique-recipient count this packet omits. They also do not convert $1,445,442,900.23 into outlays.

How to cite DOJ in Georgia

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Justice (awarding agency 015) obligated $1,445,442,900.23 on 2,732 awards coded to Georgia. Keep both sides of the join. Do not drop Georgia and call the figure a national DOJ total. Do not drop Department of Justice and call it Georgia’s entire federal book.

The implied mean near $529,079 remains a ratio of two packet facts. Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a complete map of Georgia subcontractors. Do not convert the Georgia DOJ cell into a safety ranking.
