Department of the Interior obligations in Washington 5th District (WA-05)

Department of the Interior and Washington 5th District (WA-05) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 014 and congressional district WA-05 meet here. $509,370,173.13 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 5th District (WA-05), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 279 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $509,370,173.13 by 279 yields about $1,825,699.55 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 279 awards is a mid-size Interior file. Share is higher here than on a high-denominator Washington district because this packet's district book is smaller, not because the page ranks districts. Do not treat WA-05's 014 cell as a synonym for every Interior account nationwide. Open Washington 5th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of the Interior for agency 014 without a WA-05 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 $509,370,173.13.

How USAspending labels Department of the Interior

USAspending labels awarding agency 014 as Department of the Interior. That code produced $509,370,173.13 when crossed with Washington 5th District (WA-05) place of performance. The agency-wide 014 hub does not require WA-05 geography. The district hub does not require Interior. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 279 awards. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Washington 5th District (WA-05) did not cause $509,370,173.13 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 014 × WA-05 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.

Geography is WA-05, not a facility map

Washington 5th District (WA-05) 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-05 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Washington districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 014. Washington 5th District (WA-05) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Washington. Other Washington districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 014. Washington 5th District (WA-05) is not other Washington districts. Same awarding-agency code 014 on a different stamp is a different dollar total.

Washington federal spending shows how agency 014 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $509,370,173.13 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Washington 5th District (WA-05) 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 $8,500,042,863.17; $509,370,173.13 is the Interior slice of that denominator.

Commitment totals versus cash paid

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $509,370,173.13 is that kind of sum for Department of the Interior inside WA-05 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 $509,370,173.13 as given.

If Washington 5th 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. 6.0% of $8,500,042,863.17 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Share, mean, and what they are not

279 awards is a mid-size Interior file. Share is higher here than on a high-denominator Washington district because this packet's district book is smaller, not because the page ranks districts. A higher share than another Interior cell does not rank WA-05 as more Interior-dependent. The denominators differ. This page does not publish a league table. 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 $1,825,699.55) and the district share (6.0% of $8,500,042,863.17) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Washington 5th District and Department of the Interior if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Washington 5th District (WA-05) 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 $509,370,173.13 and 279 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
