Department of Veterans Affairs federal obligations in Georgia

The Department of Veterans Affairs shows $24,270,046,733.58 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Georgia, across 55,932 awards. Awarding-agency 036 and Georgia (GA) are the pair. A thicker award file than some VA-state cells does not prove Georgia “uses more care”; it proves more award actions were tagged to this pair. The dollars are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • VA in Georgia: $24,270,046,733.58 across 55,932 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $433,900 per record—a thicker VA file than some cells.
  • Agency 036 × GA is not a care-quality score and not a census.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

VA’s Georgia-coded records

Department of Veterans Affairs as awarding agency, Georgia as place-of-performance: 55,932 records summing to $24,270,046,733.58. A VA award in Alabama is a different cell. A Defense award in Georgia sits under agency 097 even when the same metro hosts a base and a VA clinic.

The implied mean is about $433,900 per award—lower than several VA cells with fewer rows. A thicker file can pull the mean down without each row being a small clinic visit. This packet does not classify the 55,932 actions.

Department of Veterans Affairs in Georgia is the overlay. Georgia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. All spending ties lists other pairs. Fifty-five thousand nine hundred thirty-two VA records in Georgia are a thicker action file than several VA-state cells with larger dollar columns. $24,270,046,733.58 is still the obligation sum for agency 036 inside GA coding. Department of Veterans Affairs in Georgia does not rank need from that thickness.

Atlanta folklore and missing census fields

Named medical centers and veteran-population estimates are unpublished. $24,270,046,733.58 does not grade Georgia VA care. 55,932 awards are actions, not patients.

Do not divide the dollar total by an invented headcount. Per-veteran ratios are not packet math. Georgia did not cause the cell by hosting installations or a large metro. The join is 036 × GA. Correlation is not causation. Atlanta medical-center names are unpublished. Assigning $24,270,046,733.58 to a named campus is a new extract. Georgia federal spending still includes every other awarding agency. This join stays 036.

Commitments on a busy VA file

Medical and construction vehicles can obligate ahead of outlays even when the row count is high. $24,270,046,733.58 is the commitment sum. Citing it as cash already spent in Georgia confuses obligations with Treasury payments.

Atlanta’s and the state’s budgets are different ledgers. Mixing them with USAspending.gov leaves this series. Georgia’s 55,932 VA records are thicker than some VA-state cells with larger dollar columns. Thickness is not need. $24,270,046,733.58 is still 036 × GA. Department of Veterans Affairs in Georgia does not rank access. Facility names are unpublished. 55,932 is an action count.

Statewide GA, not a VISN map

This packet does not split $24,270,046,733.58 by medical center. 55,932 awards stay statewide. A facility table would be a different extract.

Department of Veterans Affairs is the 036 hub without a Georgia filter. Use it for the agency book. A thicker 55,932-row file can still hide a few large construction vehicles inside $24,270,046,733.58. Department of Veterans Affairs in Georgia does not publish that mix. Named medical centers remain off this page.

Citing VA in Georgia

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Veterans Affairs (036) obligated $24,270,046,733.58 on 55,932 awards coded to Georgia. Mention both the dollar total and the relatively thick award count. Keep “obligations.”

Prefer Department of Veterans Affairs in Georgia if the overlay moved. Do not per-veteran the total. Georgia federal spending is the all-agency parent. Department of Veterans Affairs is the 036 parent. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Prefer the overlay after ingests. Keep the obligation label on $24,270,046,733.58. The implied mean near $433,900 is dollars divided by records, not a clinic invoice.

Reusing the Georgia VA integers

Keep Department of Veterans Affairs, Georgia, $24,270,046,733.58, and 55,932 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Veterans Affairs is the 036 parent without a Georgia filter.

Do not per-veteran the total. Do not call 55,932 a patient census. Do not grade wait times from an obligation sum. Those series are unpublished. Refresh from Department of Veterans Affairs in Georgia after ingests. Keep the obligation label. USAspending.gov is the source. Keep 55,932 awards beside $24,270,046,733.58 so Georgia VA’s thicker file is not read as a patient census.
