Department of the Interior obligations in Oregon 2nd District (OR-02)
Place-of-performance OR-02 crossed with Department of the Interior (agency 014) yields $606,469,534.15 in USAspending.gov obligations on 1,016 awards. One thousand sixteen Interior-coded awards equal about seven percent of OR-02's district obligation total. Other Oregon districts can meet NSF or Commerce on separate ties; those dollars are not this cell. That pair is Department of the Interior and Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) — not Oregon's entire federal inflow, not Department of the Interior nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 7.1% of this district's published obligation total ($8,529,330,805). Implied average obligation is about $596,918.83 ($606,469,534.15 ÷ 1,016). Correlation is not causation.

The Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) filter on Interior
Awarding agency 014 and congressional district OR-02 meet here. $606,469,534.15 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of the Interior's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Oregon 2nd District (OR-02), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 1,016 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a park visitor count, a land-acre inventory, or a named-contractor file.
Dividing $606,469,534.15 by 1,016 yields about $596,918.83 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 1,016 awards is a moderately thick Interior file. Bureau splits are unpublished. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not treat OR-02's 014 cell as a synonym for every Interior account nationwide. Open Oregon 2nd District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of the Interior for agency 014 without a OR-02 filter, Oregon federal spending for every awarding agency in the Oregon extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $606,469,534.15.
The Department of the Interior awarding-agency rollup
USAspending labels awarding agency 014 as Department of the Interior. That code produced $606,469,534.15 when crossed with Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) place of performance. The agency-wide 014 hub does not require OR-02 geography. The district hub does not require Interior. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 1,016 awards. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) did not cause $606,469,534.15 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 014 × OR-02 only. This cell is not a park visitor count, a land-acre inventory, or a named-contractor file. 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 OR-02 stamp
Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list OR-02 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Oregon districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 014. Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Oregon. Other Oregon districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 014. Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) is a numbered place-of-performance code inside Oregon. Awards tagged to other Oregon districts stay off this page even if the awarding agency is also 014 elsewhere.
Oregon federal spending shows how agency 014 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $606,469,534.15 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of the Interior. The district-wide obligation total published here is $8,529,330,805; $606,469,534.15 is the Interior slice of that denominator.
USAspending obligations on this pair
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $606,469,534.15 is that kind of sum for Department of the Interior inside OR-02 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 $606,469,534.15 as given.
Oregon's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1,016-row Interior cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 1,016 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 ($596,918.83) is a concentration statistic, not a typical OR-02 Interior payment.
Citing $606,469,534.15 without dropping a join side
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of the Interior (agency 014) obligated $606,469,534.15 on 1,016 awards coded to Oregon 2nd District (OR-02). Name Department of the Interior and Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) together. Keep the obligation word. If Oregon 2nd District or Department of the Interior has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a park visitor count, a land-acre inventory, or a named-contractor file. 7.1% of $8,529,330,805 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Row count versus dollar concentration
1,016 awards is a moderately thick Interior file. Bureau splits are unpublished. Unique recipients are unpublished. Other Interior × district pages are separate cells. Do not merge them into OR-02. 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 $596,918.83) and the district share (7.1% of $8,529,330,805) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Oregon 2nd District and Department of the Interior if the live tables moved.
Questions
- How much Interior spending is coded to Oregon 2nd District (OR-02)?
- USAspending.gov lists $606,469,534.15 in Department of the Interior obligations across 1,016 awards with place of performance in Oregon 2nd District (OR-02). Agency 014 × OR-02 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Oregon's complete federal ledger. The cell is 7.1% of the district's published total ($8,529,330,805). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $596,918.83, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $606,469,534.15 include every Interior program in OR-02?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. $606,469,534.15 is the combined obligation sum for agency 014 inside OR-02 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of the Interior and Oregon 2nd District to inspect parent tables. 1,016 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $606,469,534.15 cash already paid in Oregon 2nd District (OR-02)?
- 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 $606,469,534.15 as checks already cleared in Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 1,016 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
- Why is the implied average $596,918.83 not a typical award?
- The average is $606,469,534.15 divided by 1,016 awards, about $596,918.83. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
