Department of the Interior obligations in Washington 4th District (WA-04)

What the Interior–WA-04 join is

Awarding agency 014 and congressional district WA-04 meet here. $538,073,709.68 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 Washington 4th District (WA-04), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 347 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $538,073,709.68 by 347 yields about $1,550,644.70 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 347 awards is a mid-size Interior file against a district total near seventy-one billion dollars. Share is modest because the denominator is large. Do not treat WA-04's 014 cell as a synonym for every Interior account nationwide. Open Washington 4th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of the Interior for agency 014 without a WA-04 filter, Washington federal spending for every awarding agency in the Washington extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $538,073,709.68.

Awarding agency 014 as the Interior side

USAspending labels awarding agency 014 as Department of the Interior. That code produced $538,073,709.68 when crossed with Washington 4th District (WA-04) place of performance. The agency-wide 014 hub does not require WA-04 geography. The district hub does not require Interior. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 347 awards. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Washington 4th District (WA-04) did not cause $538,073,709.68 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 014 × WA-04 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.

Washington 4th District (WA-04) as place of performance

Washington 4th District (WA-04) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list WA-04 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Washington districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 014. Washington 4th District (WA-04) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Washington. Other Washington districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 014. Washington 4th District (WA-04) is a high-dollar place-of-performance geography. Other Washington districts are different stamps even when Interior or NSF appears again.

Washington federal spending shows how agency 014 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $538,073,709.68 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Washington 4th District (WA-04) 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 $70,671,093,793; $538,073,709.68 is the Interior slice of that denominator.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $538,073,709.68 is that kind of sum for Department of the Interior inside WA-04 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 $538,073,709.68 as given.

Washington's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 347-row Interior cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 347 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 ($1,550,644.70) is a concentration statistic, not a typical WA-04 Interior payment.

How to cite Interior in WA-04

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of the Interior (agency 014) obligated $538,073,709.68 on 347 awards coded to Washington 4th District (WA-04). Name Department of the Interior and Washington 4th District (WA-04) together. Keep the obligation word.

The pair is not a park visitor count, a land-acre inventory, or a named-contractor file. 0.8% of $70,671,093,793 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Department of the Interior, Washington 4th District (WA-04), $538,073,709.68, and 347 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of the Interior is the 014 parent without a WA-04 filter. Washington federal spending is the Washington parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Interior does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

Reading a moderate Interior file in WA-04

347 awards is a mid-size Interior file against a district total near seventy-one billion dollars. Share is modest because the denominator is large. Other Washington districts can host Interior or NSF on their own ties. Do not add those cells into WA-04. 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 $1,550,644.70) and the district share (0.8% of $70,671,093,793) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Washington 4th District and Department of the Interior if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Washington 4th District (WA-04) as more Interior-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 014 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 014 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $538,073,709.68 and 347 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions
