Department of Justice federal obligations in Minnesota

Agency 015 meeting Minnesota

Department of Justice as awarding agency, Minnesota as place-of-performance: 2,476 awards summing to $485,192,733.85. A Department of Justice award coded outside MN is out. An award in Minnesota from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Minnesota (MN) excludes Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota. A Duluth-coded award with a Wisconsin place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

2,476 awards against $485,192,733.85 is a 2,476-award justice file, thicker than South Carolina’s DOJ join. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 2,476 as 2,476 unique prosecutions, inmate counts, or named courthouses. Department of Justice in Minnesota is the both-keys table. Minnesota federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Justice is the agency book without a MN filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

South Carolina and Minnesota DOJ pages in this slice are different state keys on awarding-agency 015. Do not add the two cells. Unique defendants are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Minnesota did not cause $485,192,733.85 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 015 × MN only.

2,476 DOJ rows are not 2,476 cases

$485,192,733.85 does not measure prosecutions, inmate counts, or named courthouses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 015 and an MN place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 2,476 awards as a census of prosecutions, inmate counts, or named courthouses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Minnesota federal spending or Department of Justice matched $485,192,733.85 and 2,476, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DOJ joins are other pairs, not addends.

Minnesota, not a Twin Cities-only map

Place of performance MN is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Minnesota (MN) excludes Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota. A Duluth-coded award with a Wisconsin place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $485,192,733.85 by city, county, or named facility. 2,476 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Two thousand four hundred seventy-six obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $485,192,733.85 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Minnesota confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Minnesota’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 2,476 awards 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 $485,192,733.85.

Citing DOJ in Minnesota

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Justice (agency 015) obligated $485,192,733.85 on 2,476 awards coded to Minnesota. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as prosecutions, inmate counts, or named courthouses.

Prefer Department of Justice in Minnesota if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Minnesota federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MN. Department of Justice is the 015 parent without the MN filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $485,192,733.85.

A usable footnote names Department of Justice, Minnesota, $485,192,733.85, and 2,476. The compact headline $485.2M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $195,958.29 is $485,192,733.85 divided by 2,476. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
