Department of the Treasury federal obligations in Wisconsin
The Department of the Treasury shows $3,307,726,697.41 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Wisconsin, across 141 awards. Awarding-agency 020 and Wisconsin (WI) are the pair. One hundred forty-one awards against $3,307,726,697.41 is an extremely thin, high-mean file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. The implied mean is about $23.46 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- Treasury in Wisconsin: $3,307,726,697.41 across 141 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $23.46 million per record — a packet quotient, not a typical project.
- Agency 020 × WI is not a measure of individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
A very thin Treasury file on Wisconsin
Department of the Treasury as awarding agency, Wisconsin as place-of-performance: 141 records summing to $3,307,726,697.41. A Department of the Treasury award coded outside WI is out. An award in Wisconsin from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Wisconsin (WI) excludes Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa. A Minneapolis-coded award is Minnesota.
One hundred forty-one awards against $3,307,726,697.41 is an extremely thin, high-mean file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 141 as 141 unique individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. The overlay Department of the Treasury in Wisconsin is the both-keys table. Wisconsin federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of the Treasury is the agency book without a WI filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Milwaukee and Madison are not published as metro cuts. One restatement can move the implied mean quickly. Correlation is not causation: Wisconsin did not “cause” $3,307,726,697.41 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 020 × WI only.
141 rows are not 141 refunds
$3,307,726,697.41 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 WI place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 141 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 Wisconsin federal spending or Department of the Treasury matched $3,307,726,697.41 and 141, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan Treasury joins are other pairs, not addends.
Wisconsin is not an IRS-campus map
Place of performance WI is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Wisconsin (WI) excludes Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa. A Minneapolis-coded award is Minnesota. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
Milwaukee and Madison are not published as metro cuts. One restatement can move the implied mean quickly. This packet does not split $3,307,726,697.41 by city, county, or named facility. 141 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.
Few rows, large vehicles, still obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $3,307,726,697.41 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Wisconsin confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Wisconsin’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 141-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 $3,307,726,697.41.
How to cite Treasury in Wisconsin
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of the Treasury (agency 020) obligated $3,307,726,697.41 on 141 awards coded to Wisconsin. 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 Wisconsin if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Wisconsin federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to WI. Department of the Treasury is the 020 parent without the WI filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $3,307,726,697.41.
A usable footnote names Department of the Treasury, Wisconsin, $3,307,726,697.41, and 141. The compact headline $3.31 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $23.46 million is $3,307,726,697.41 divided by 141. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
