Louisiana paired with CFDA 97.029

Nine awards is a mitigation-grant pattern: FMA often posts as a handful of large assistance instruments rather than one record per property. The join does not name recipients. Packet facts are $462,551,637.22, 9 awards, LA, and 97.029. Correlation is not causation. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Keep Flood Mitigation Assistance and Louisiana together when reading $462,551,637.22.

97.029 is not NFIP claims in Louisiana

NFIP claims and other FEMA disaster catalogs use different CFDA numbers. Mixing those series into $462,551,637.22 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Louisiana, CFDA 97.029, $462,551,637.22, 9 awards. Property addresses, elevation projects, and parish names are unpublished.

The catalog title names Flood Mitigation Assistance, not a ranking of parishes. Dividing $462,551,637.22 by 9 yields about $51.39 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 9 is not a property or parish census.

Louisiana geography on the FMA tag

LA is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Lafayette, or other in-state sites can share the tag. Awards coded to Texas, Arkansas, or Mississippi stay outside $462,551,637.22 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $462.55 million into a flood-zone map.

Louisiana federal spending is the all-program parent. 97.029 is one row on Louisiana programs. $462.55 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Flood Mitigation Assistance in Louisiana for the filtered table, CFDA 97.029 for the catalog without a Louisiana filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $462,551,637.22.

Reading 9 awards under $462.55 million

$462,551,637.22 ÷ 9 is about $51.39 million per award. That average is a mitigation-grant scale, not a per-property elevation cost, not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 9 as a record count, not as 9 properties.

Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 9 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $462,551,637.22 without changing the join key of 97.029 and LA. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $462,551,637.22 is the net total supplied in the facts. The pair remains Flood Mitigation Assistance plus Louisiana. Do not treat $462,551,637.22 as an outlay series.

What the 97.029–Louisiana pair does not prove

A large 97.029 total tagged to Louisiana does not measure whether flood losses fell, and it does not equal construction completed. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $462,551,637.22 on 9 awards for Flood Mitigation Assistance in Louisiana.

Keep both sides of the join: Flood Mitigation Assistance and Louisiana, obligations only. Do not annualize $462,551,637.22 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 9 as a property or parish census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a hurricane story. Cite Flood Mitigation Assistance together with Louisiana whenever you reuse $462,551,637.22.
