Highway planning (CFDA 20.205) in Texas 13th District (TX-13)

What the Highway planning–TX-13 join is

CFDA 20.205 and congressional district TX-13 meet here. $910,434,492.20 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 Texas 13th District (TX-13), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split planning from construction, and it does not name contractors. 164 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $910,434,492.20 by 164 yields about $5,551,429.83 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a published cost per mile and not a typical project. 164 awards sits near New York 22nd’s 119-row 20.205 file. Unique contractors are unpublished. Do not treat TX-13’s 20.205 cell as a synonym for every Highway planning account nationwide. Open Texas 13th District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 20.205 for CFDA 20.205 without the TX-13 filter, Texas federal spending for every program in the Texas extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $910,434,492.20.

CFDA 20.205 as the Highway planning side

USAspending labels CFDA 20.205 as Highway Planning And Construction. That catalog number produced $910,434,492.20 when crossed with Texas 13th District (TX-13) place of performance. The program hub does not require TX-13 geography. The district hub does not require Highway planning. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 164 awards. The packet does not split planning from construction, and it does not name contractors.

Correlation is not causation: Texas 13th District (TX-13) did not cause $910,434,492.20 by existing as a large or small place, and VMT or lane miles figures are not packet facts. The join is 20.205 × TX-13 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.

Texas 13th District (TX-13) as place of performance

Texas 13th District (TX-13) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list TX-13 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 20.205. Texas 13th District (TX-13) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 20.205. Texas 13th District (TX-13) is a numbered geography. Other Texas districts on this slice use disaster, crop-insurance, and Pell CFDA codes.

Texas federal spending shows how CFDA 20.205 sits beside other programs in the same state extract. $910,434,492.20 is one district-program column, not the state table. This packet does not split Texas 13th District (TX-13) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different CFDA stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Highway Planning And Construction. The district-wide obligation total published here is $35,485,144,728.31; $910,434,492.20 is the Highway planning slice of that denominator.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $910,434,492.20 is that kind of sum for Highway Planning And Construction inside TX-13 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 $910,434,492.20 as given. Treating $910,434,492.20 as pavement already placed confuses obligation with outlay.

Texas’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 164-row Highway planning cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 164 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 ($5,551,429.83) is a concentration statistic, not a published cost per mile and not a typical project. West Virginia 2nd’s thousand-row 20.205 pair is a different stamp. Do not merge those highway cells.

An fhwa highway-statistics table is a different series unless it uses CFDA 20.205, TX-13 geography, and the obligation metric.

Keep Highway Planning And Construction, Texas 13th District (TX-13), $910,434,492.20, and 164 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. CFDA 20.205 is the 20.205 parent without a TX-13 filter. Texas federal spending is the Texas parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Highway planning does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join. The extract omits projects, contractors, or lane miles.

Reading a moderate Highway planning file in TX-13

164 awards sits near New York 22nd’s 119-row 20.205 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 $5,551,429.83) and the district share (2.6% of $35,485,144,728.31) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 13th District and CFDA 20.205 if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much Highway planning spending is coded to Texas 13th District (TX-13)?

Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $5,551,429.83, a ratio of those two facts only.

Do 164 awards mean 164 projects, miles, or contractors in TX-13?

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 $910,434,492.20 cash already paid in Texas 13th District (TX-13)?

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. Treating $910,434,492.20 as pavement already placed confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 164 awards. Prefer the live district and program hubs if the tables moved.
