Department of State obligations in South Carolina 1st District (SC-01)
Awarding agency 019 meets SC-01 at $53,189,199.98 in recorded USAspending.gov obligations (48 awards). Forty-eight rows are a modest award file relative to this harvest. The cell is 0.5% of South Carolina 1st District’s $9,958,570,081.46 district total. Department of State × South Carolina 1st District (SC-01) is not South Carolina’s full federal table and not a cash register. Implied mean $1,108,108.33 is a ratio of two packet facts. Correlation is not causation.

What the 019 × SC-01 cell contains
Awarding agency 019 and congressional district SC-01 meet here. $53,189,199.98 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of State’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to South Carolina 1st District (SC-01), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split diplomatic, assistance, or domestic-support instruments under State. 48 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not an embassy roster, a passport-workload file, or a named-contractor list.
Dividing $53,189,199.98 by 48 yields about $1,108,108.33 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical diplomatic contract, training grant, or consular line. Forty-eight awards is a modest award file. Do not treat SC-01’s 019 cell as a synonym for every State account nationwide. Open South Carolina 1st District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of State for agency 019 without the SC-01 filter, South Carolina federal spending for every awarding agency in the South Carolina extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $53,189,199.98.
Agency 019 without inventing a program pie
USAspending labels awarding agency 019 as Department of State. That code produced $53,189,199.98 when crossed with South Carolina 1st District (SC-01) place of performance. The agency-wide 019 hub does not require SC-01 geography. The district hub does not require State. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 48 awards. The packet does not split diplomatic, assistance, or domestic-support instruments under State.
Correlation is not causation: South Carolina 1st District (SC-01) did not cause $53,189,199.98 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 019 × SC-01 only. This cell is not an embassy roster, a passport-workload file, or a named-contractor list. 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.
Reading the SC-01 stamp
South Carolina 1st District (SC-01) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list SC-01 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other South Carolina districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 019. South Carolina 1st District (SC-01) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside South Carolina. Other South Carolina districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 019.
$53,189,199.98 is an obligation sum
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $53,189,199.98 is that kind of sum for Department of State inside SC-01 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 $53,189,199.98 as given.
South Carolina’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 48-row State cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 48 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 ($1,108,108.33) is a concentration statistic, not a typical SC-01 State payment.
Parents, indexes, and what not to add
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of State (agency 019) obligated $53,189,199.98 on 48 awards coded to South Carolina 1st District (SC-01). Name Department of State and South Carolina 1st District (SC-01) together. Keep the obligation word. If South Carolina 1st District or Department of State has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not an embassy roster, a passport-workload file, or a named-contractor list. 0.5% of $9,958,570,081.46 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Action counts are not unique vendors
Forty-eight awards is a modest award file. Volume can hide a few large assistance lines; the packet does not identify them. Unique recipients are unpublished. 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 $1,108,108.33) and the district share (0.5% of $9,958,570,081.46) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer South Carolina 1st District and Department of State if the live tables moved.
Do not rank South Carolina 1st District (SC-01) as more State-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 019 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 019 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $53,189,199.98 and 48 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation. Post counts, visa volumes, and named missions are unpublished here.
Questions
- How much State spending is coded to South Carolina 1st District (SC-01)?
- USAspending.gov lists $53,189,199.98 in State (agency 019) obligations across 48 awards coded to South Carolina 1st District (SC-01). That pair is an obligation join, not an outlay and not South Carolina’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 0.5% of the district’s published total ($9,958,570,081.46). Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Does this include every Department of State program in SC-01?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup for agency 019. It does not split State instruments or contract versus assistance. $53,189,199.98 is the combined obligation sum inside SC-01 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. 48 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $53,189,199.98 cash already paid in South Carolina 1st District (SC-01)?
- 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 $53,189,199.98 as checks already cleared in South Carolina 1st District (SC-01) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 48 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
- Is South Carolina 1st District (SC-01) ranked against other South Carolina districts here?
- No. This page does not rank South Carolina 1st District (SC-01) as a winner or loser. $53,189,199.98 and 48 describe one join. Neighboring districts have their own cells. District 90/98 placeholders are omitted. Cite Department of State and South Carolina 1st District (SC-01) together without a league table.
