Department of Justice federal obligations in South Carolina

Agency 015 overlapping South Carolina

Department of Justice as awarding agency, South Carolina as place-of-performance: 1,097 awards summing to $486,032,163.14. A Department of Justice award coded outside SC is out. An award in South Carolina from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. South Carolina (SC) excludes North Carolina and Georgia. A Charleston-coded award with a Georgia place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

1,097 awards against $486,032,163.14 is a 1,097-award justice file, not a docket census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,097 as 1,097 unique prosecutions, inmate counts, or named courthouses. Department of Justice in South Carolina is the both-keys table. South Carolina federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Justice is the agency book without a SC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Component names such as FBI or BOP are not packet fields on this aggregate. Unique courthouses are unpublished. Do not invent defendants. Correlation is not causation: South Carolina did not cause $486,032,163.14 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 015 × SC only.

DOJ dollars are not a case count

$486,032,163.14 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 SC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,097 awards as a census of prosecutions, inmate counts, or named courthouses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If South Carolina federal spending or Department of Justice matched $486,032,163.14 and 1,097, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DOJ joins are other pairs, not addends.

South Carolina, not an Upstate-only map

Place of performance SC is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. South Carolina (SC) excludes North Carolina and Georgia. A Charleston-coded award with a Georgia place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $486,032,163.14 by city, county, or named facility. 1,097 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

One thousand ninety-seven obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $486,032,163.14 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in South Carolina confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

South Carolina’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,097 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 $486,032,163.14.

Citing DOJ in South Carolina

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Justice (agency 015) obligated $486,032,163.14 on 1,097 awards coded to South Carolina. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as prosecutions, inmate counts, or named courthouses.

Prefer Department of Justice in South Carolina if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. South Carolina federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to SC. Department of Justice is the 015 parent without the SC filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $486,032,163.14.

A usable footnote names Department of Justice, South Carolina, $486,032,163.14, and 1,097. The compact headline $486.0M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $443,055.75 is $486,032,163.14 divided by 1,097. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
