Department of the Treasury federal obligations in Kentucky

A thin Treasury file on a Kentucky tag

Department of the Treasury as awarding agency, Kentucky as place-of-performance: 426 records summing to $3,571,542,140.65. A Department of the Treasury award coded outside KY is out. An award in Kentucky from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Kentucky (KY) excludes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. A Cincinnati-coded award is Ohio, not this cell.

Four hundred twenty-six awards against $3,571,542,140.65 is a thin, high-mean file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 426 as 426 unique individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. The overlay Department of the Treasury in Kentucky is the both-keys table. Kentucky federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of the Treasury is the agency book without a KY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Louisville and Lexington are not published as metro cuts. Assigning the cell to a named campus is a new extract. Correlation is not causation: Kentucky did not “cause” $3,571,542,140.65 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 020 × KY only.

Refunds are a different series

$3,571,542,140.65 does not measure individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 020 and a KY place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 426 awards as a census of individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Kentucky federal spending or Department of the Treasury matched $3,571,542,140.65 and 426, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Ohio, Tennessee, and Indiana Treasury joins are other pairs, not addends.

Kentucky is not an IRS-campus map

Place of performance KY is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Kentucky (KY) excludes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. A Cincinnati-coded award is Ohio, not this cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Louisville and Lexington are not published as metro cuts. Assigning the cell to a named campus is a new extract. This packet does not split $3,571,542,140.65 by city, county, or named facility. 426 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Large vehicles, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $3,571,542,140.65 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Kentucky confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Kentucky’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 426-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $3,571,542,140.65.

How to cite Treasury in Kentucky

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of the Treasury (agency 020) obligated $3,571,542,140.65 on 426 awards coded to Kentucky. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses.

Prefer Department of the Treasury in Kentucky if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Kentucky federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to KY. Department of the Treasury is the 020 parent without the KY filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $3,571,542,140.65.

A usable footnote names Department of the Treasury, Kentucky, $3,571,542,140.65, and 426. The compact headline $3.57 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $8.38 million is $3,571,542,140.65 divided by 426. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
