Department of the Interior obligations in Texas 23rd District (TX-23)

The Texas 23rd District (TX-23) filter on Interior

Awarding agency 014 and congressional district TX-23 meet here. $522,020,653.85 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 Texas 23rd District (TX-23), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 106 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $522,020,653.85 by 106 yields about $4,924,723.15 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 106 awards is a compact Interior file. Bureau splits and named parks are unpublished. Do not treat TX-23's 014 cell as a synonym for every Interior account nationwide. Open Texas 23rd District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of the Interior for agency 014 without a TX-23 filter, Texas federal spending for every awarding agency in the Texas extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $522,020,653.85.

The Department of the Interior awarding-agency rollup

USAspending labels awarding agency 014 as Department of the Interior. That code produced $522,020,653.85 when crossed with Texas 23rd District (TX-23) place of performance. The agency-wide 014 hub does not require TX-23 geography. The district hub does not require Interior. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 106 awards. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Texas 23rd District (TX-23) did not cause $522,020,653.85 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 014 × TX-23 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 TX-23 stamp

Texas 23rd District (TX-23) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list TX-23 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 014. Texas 23rd District (TX-23) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 014. Texas 23rd District (TX-23) is a numbered USAspending geography. Other Texas districts are different place-of-performance stamps.

Texas federal spending shows how agency 014 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $522,020,653.85 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Texas 23rd District (TX-23) 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 $10,577,050,856.90; $522,020,653.85 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. $522,020,653.85 is that kind of sum for Department of the Interior inside TX-23 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 $522,020,653.85 as given.

Texas's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 106-row Interior cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 106 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 ($4,924,723.15) is a concentration statistic, not a typical TX-23 Interior payment.

Row count versus dollar concentration

106 awards is a compact Interior file. Bureau splits and named parks are unpublished. Place of performance TX-23 is not a claim that work stayed inside one county cluster. Awards can list the stamp while later work occurs elsewhere. 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 $4,924,723.15) and the district share (4.9% of $10,577,050,856.90) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 23rd District and Department of the Interior if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much Interior spending is coded to Texas 23rd District (TX-23)?

USAspending.gov lists $522,020,653.85 in Department of the Interior obligations across 106 awards with place of performance in Texas 23rd District (TX-23). Agency 014 × TX-23 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Texas's complete federal ledger. The cell is 4.9% of the district's published total ($10,577,050,856.90). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $4,924,723.15, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $522,020,653.85 include every Interior program in TX-23?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. $522,020,653.85 is the combined obligation sum for agency 014 inside TX-23 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of the Interior and Texas 23rd District to inspect parent tables. 106 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $522,020,653.85 cash already paid in Texas 23rd District (TX-23)?

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 $522,020,653.85 as checks already cleared in Texas 23rd District (TX-23) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 106 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Why is the implied average $4,924,723.15 not a typical award?

The average is $522,020,653.85 divided by 106 awards, about $4,924,723.15. 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.
