The published join of District of Columbia Courts and the District
USAspending.gov publishes one cell for District of Columbia Courts in District of Columbia: $138,976,880.73 across 358 awards. The join measures those two tags, not local outcomes and not a national District of Columbia Courts budget. Courthouse-ops, judicial-admin, and court-system folklore is unused as math.
A mid-size file of 358 rows still needs both keys before anyone quotes $138,976,880.73. Agency 349 without District of Columbia is a different page. District of Columbia without agency 349 is a different page.

A 358-row extract without an instrument pie
358 is a row count of recorded actions totaling $138,976,880.73. Dividing those two packet facts yields about $388,203.58. That quotient is not a typical court-operations award and not a published median.
Without a type mix, readers cannot tell how many of the 358 rows are new awards versus modifications. This page does not invent that split.
Wards are not a published geography split
District of Columbia Courts is District of Columbia Courts without a state filter. District of Columbia federal spending is District of Columbia without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide DC Courts book as if it were District of Columbia's $138,976,880.73 cell is a misread of the join.
No metro split of Northwest, Northeast, and Southeast Washington is published here. Awards coded to Maryland or Virginia are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Washington. The overlay path already encodes both the state tag and agency 349.
Reuse the obligation unit, not an outlay unit
$138,976,880.73 records commitments tagged to District of Columbia Courts and District of Columbia. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.
358 actions can include modifications that change a prior obligation. That is why a record count is not a unique-project census. Use District of Columbia Courts in District of Columbia for the live table. Agency 349 is the awarding-agency key stored on that overlay.
Correlation is not a courts ranking
The join is descriptive. $138,976,880.73 does not prove that District of Columbia received too much or too little District of Columbia Courts money, and it does not prove that District of Columbia Courts activity caused local outcomes. No performance metric is in the packet.
Campaign-finance filings do not fund this USAspending cell. District of Columbia Courts obligations in District of Columbia and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them. Unique courthouses or vendors are unpublished here, so none are invented.
Overlay, statewide hub, and agency hub
District of Columbia Courts in District of Columbia remains the place to verify the live rows. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $138,976,880.73. Place-of-performance District of Columbia is statewide; it does not split Northwest, Northeast, and Southeast Washington. Neighbor-coded activity in Maryland or Virginia stays out even if mail is handled in Washington. Correlation is not causation. Courthouse-ops, judicial-admin, and court-system folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Federal-city, potomac, and capital folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 349 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national DC Courts budget on this page. District of Columbia's $138,976,880.73 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from District of Columbia Courts and call the difference 'District of Columbia versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. District of Columbia Courts is the awarding-agency label stored on the District of Columbia overlay; the numeric key is 349. Readers who only remember the short name DC Courts still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $138,976,880.73. The 358 figure is not a count of unique courthouses or vendors and is not a count of distinct DC Courts programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $388,203.58 is not a typical court-operations award. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/dc/agencies/349/ and canonicalPath /ties/district-of-columbia-courts-in-district-of-columbia/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $138,976,880.73 or 358, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $138,976,880.73, 358 awards, agency 349, District of Columbia Courts, District of Columbia (DC), and the obligation unit.
