Agency names, caseload counts, and county splits are unpublished.

The catalog title names Foster Care Title Iv-E, not a ranking of Kansas counties by foster caseload. Dividing $162,840,640 by 5 yields about $32.57 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 5 is not a child, placement, or named-agency census.

Kansas geography on the foster-care tag

KS is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Topeka, Wichita, or Overland Park can share the tag. Awards coded to Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Colorado stay outside $162,840,640 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $162.8 million into a foster-care atlas.

Kansas federal spending is the all-program parent. 93.658 is one row on Kansas programs. $162.8 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint.
