Department of Justice federal obligations in Michigan

The Department of Justice–Michigan join on USAspending.gov sums to $702,535,558.73 in obligations. 2,221 award actions carry both the agency 015 tag and the Michigan geography tag. That is not cash already paid, and about $316,314.97 per award is a mean, not a typical justice-assistance award.

Key figures

  • Michigan DOJ overlay: $702,535,558.73, 2,221 awards, agency 015.
  • Mean $316,314.97 is a ratio, not a typical justice-assistance award.
  • Statewide tag — does not split Detroit from Grand Rapids or Lansing.
  • Correlation is not causation.

Michigan place of performance for Department of Justice

Awarding agency 015 and place-of-performance state MI meet here. $702,535,558.73 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Justice's nationwide budget, not Michigan's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. U.s. attorney, prison, and byrne-grant folklore and auto-corridor and Upper Peninsula folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a census of courthouses.

2,221 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a very long award list beside a large obligation total. A long row list can mix small support payments with larger instruments. The join does not rank Michigan against other states and does not name grantees inside the extract.

Open Department of Justice in Michigan for the filtered table, Michigan federal spending for the next hub, Department of Justice for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Award count 2,221 is a record count

Dividing $702,535,558.73 by 2,221 yields about $316,314.97 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical justice-assistance award. A second DOJ slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Michigan's 015 total as a synonym for every Department of Justice bureau account.

U.s. attorney, prison, and byrne-grant folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Agency names and recipient rows live on the overlay table, not in this narrative's extra columns.

Agency-wide DOJ versus this overlay

The agency-wide Department of Justice page aggregates 015 without requiring MI geography. The Michigan federal spending page aggregates all agencies with Michigan place of performance. Only Department of Justice in Michigan applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 2,221 awards and $702,535,558.73.

Place of performance in Michigan is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list MI while later grant administration occurs in Ohio or Indiana. DOJ awards coded to those places do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Detroit. This packet does not split Detroit from Grand Rapids or Lansing.

Outlays are a different column

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $702,535,558.73 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Michigan over-reads the field.

Award count 2,221 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Michigan–DOJ overlay. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

Do not treat auto-corridor and Upper Peninsula folklore as packet NAICS

A large DOJ total in Michigan does not mean the agency caused Michigan's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between auto-corridor and Upper Peninsula folklore and DOJ awards is expected; it is not a finding about waste or program quality.

Keep $702,535,558.73 labeled as agency 015 obligations with Michigan place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An agency name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.

Keep $702,535,558.73 labeled as a join

A clean footnote names awarding agency 015 (Department of Justice), Michigan place of performance, $702,535,558.73 in obligations, and 2,221 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $702,535,558.73 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $316,314.97 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical justice-assistance award.

Department of Justice in Michigan, Michigan federal spending, Department of Justice, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $702,535,558.73 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Detroit-versus-Grand Rapids folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Grantees names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.
