Department of the Treasury federal obligations in Michigan
The Department of the Treasury shows $1,381,097,259.98 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Michigan, across 288 awards. Awarding-agency 020 and Michigan (MI) are the pair. Two hundred eighty-eight records against $1,381,097,259.98 is a thin, high-mean Treasury file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. The implied mean is about $4.80 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

A thin Treasury file on a Michigan tag
Department of the Treasury as awarding agency, Michigan as place-of-performance: 288 records summing to $1,381,097,259.98. A Department of the Treasury award coded outside MI is out. An award in Michigan from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Michigan (MI) excludes Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Canada. A Toledo-coded award is Ohio even if the corridor crosses the border.
Two hundred eighty-eight records against $1,381,097,259.98 is a thin, high-mean Treasury file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 288 as 288 unique individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. The overlay Department of the Treasury in Michigan is the both-keys table. Michigan federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of the Treasury is the agency book without an MI filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Agency code 020 is the awarding key. Detroit is unpublished as a metro share. Correlation is not causation: Michigan did not cause $1,381,097,259.98 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 020 × MI only.
Refunds are a different series
$1,381,097,259.98 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 an MI place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 288 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 Michigan federal spending or Department of the Treasury matched $1,381,097,259.98 and 288, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin Treasury joins are other pairs, not addends.
Michigan, not a Detroit-only map
Place of performance MI is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Michigan (MI) excludes Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Canada. A Toledo-coded award is Ohio even if the corridor crosses the border. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
Agency code 020 is the awarding key. Detroit is unpublished as a metro share. This packet does not split $1,381,097,259.98 by city, county, or named facility. 288 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. $1,381,097,259.98 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Michigan confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Michigan’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 288-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 $1,381,097,259.98.
How to cite Treasury in Michigan
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of the Treasury (agency 020) obligated $1,381,097,259.98 on 288 awards coded to Michigan. 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 Michigan if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Michigan federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MI. Department of the Treasury is the 020 parent without the MI filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,381,097,259.98.
A usable footnote names Department of the Treasury, Michigan, $1,381,097,259.98, and 288. The compact headline $1.38 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $4.80 million is $1,381,097,259.98 divided by 288. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
