Highway planning (CFDA 20.205) in Delaware At-Large (DE-00)

A place-of-performance join: Highway planning × DE-00

CFDA 20.205 and congressional district DE-00 meet here. $941,375,561.31 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Highway Planning And Construction’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Delaware At-Large District (DE-00), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split planning from construction, and it does not name contractors. 340 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a lane-mile inventory, a project-letting calendar, or a named-contractor roster.

Dividing $941,375,561.31 by 340 yields about $2,768,751.65 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a published cost per mile and not a typical project. 340 awards sits between New York 22nd’s 119-row file and South Dakota’s 576-row file. Unique contractors are unpublished. Do not treat DE-00’s 20.205 cell as a synonym for every Highway planning account nationwide. Open Delaware At-Large District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 20.205 for CFDA 20.205 without the DE-00 filter, Delaware federal spending for every program in the Delaware extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $941,375,561.31.

Highway Planning And Construction as a CFDA listing, not as a named-vendor list

USAspending labels CFDA 20.205 as Highway Planning And Construction. That catalog number produced $941,375,561.31 when crossed with Delaware At-Large District (DE-00) place of performance. The program hub does not require DE-00 geography. The district hub does not require Highway planning. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 340 awards. The packet does not split planning from construction, and it does not name contractors.

Correlation is not causation: Delaware At-Large District (DE-00) did not cause $941,375,561.31 by existing as a large or small place, and VMT or lane miles figures are not packet facts. The join is 20.205 × DE-00 only. It is not a lane-mile inventory, a project-letting calendar, or a named-contractor roster. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Place of performance for Delaware At-Large District (DE-00)

Delaware At-Large District (DE-00) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list DE-00 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Delaware districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 20.205. Delaware At-Large District (DE-00) is Delaware’s at-large congressional geography in the USAspending district field, so the stamp covers the state as one district rather than a numbered slice. Delaware At-Large District (DE-00) is the state’s single congressional geography. Vermont and South Dakota at-large stamps reuse 20.205 with different row counts.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $941,375,561.31 is that kind of sum for Highway Planning And Construction inside DE-00 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. This packet does not split assistance from contracts. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $941,375,561.31 as given. Treating $941,375,561.31 as pavement already placed confuses obligation with outlay.

Delaware’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 340-row Highway planning cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 340 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors and not projects, miles, or contractors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($2,768,751.65) is a concentration statistic, not a published cost per mile and not a typical project. Wyoming At-Large on this slice carries Medicaid (93.778), not highway planning. Same at-large geography type, different CFDA.

The pair is not a lane-mile inventory, a project-letting calendar, or a named-contractor roster. 4.3% of $22,076,088,112.34 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score. An fhwa highway-statistics table is a different series unless it uses CFDA 20.205, DE-00 geography, and the obligation metric.

Using 4.3% and $2,768,751.65 without overclaiming

340 awards sits between New York 22nd’s 119-row file and South Dakota’s 576-row file. Unique contractors are unpublished. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-recipient story tempting; the packet still does not name projects, contractors, or lane miles. The implied mean (about $2,768,751.65) and the district share (4.3% of $22,076,088,112.34) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Delaware At-Large District and CFDA 20.205 if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Delaware At-Large District (DE-00) as more Highway planning-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 20.205 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 20.205 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $941,375,561.31 and 340 only. Wyoming At-Large on this slice carries Medicaid (93.778), not highway planning. Same at-large geography type, different CFDA. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation. A reader who quotes $941,375,561.31 without Delaware At-Large District (DE-00) and CFDA 20.205 has dropped a join side.

Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $2,768,751.65, a ratio of those two facts only.

Do 340 awards mean 340 projects, miles, or contractors in DE-00?

No. Award count is a row count of USAspending actions and can include continuations and modifications. It is not a count of projects, miles, or contractors. The packet does not name recipients.

Is $941,375,561.31 cash already paid in Delaware At-Large District (DE-00)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline.
