What the 444110–Illinois join is
NAICS 444110 and geography IL meet here. $739,000,319.31 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide home centers book, not Illinois’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. Building-material wholesalers and construction NAICS sit elsewhere. A huge row count with a small mean is the shape of this cell.
469,221 awards is an extremely thick purchase-order list beside $739,000,319.31. High-volume retail codes often mix tiny purchase orders with a few larger vehicles. Treating 469,221 as Illinois store locations would misread award records as outlets. The packet does not name a chain inside the extract. Treating 469,221 as a count of Illinois stores would misread award records. Those labels are ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars.
Open Illinois federal spending for every industry tagged to the state, NAICS 444110 for 444110 without a Illinois filter, Illinois industries for other Illinois NAICS pairs, and All spending ties for joins outside this home centers cell. Do not add those parents into $739,000,319.31.
A high-volume retail book, not a store census
Dividing $739,000,319.31 by 469,221 awards yields about $1,575 per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical Chicago store ticket and not a typical downstate lumber-yard line. Unique recipients are unpublished. 469,221 is not a count of stores, SKUs, or invoices paid.
Illinois geography invites a Chicago-versus-downstate retail story. This extract does not split those regions. All share IL inside $739,000,319.31. The implied mean near $1,575 is arithmetic on two packet facts — a small ticket on a huge row list — not a typical contractor invoice.
Nationwide 444110 without an Illinois overlay is a different total
The national industry hub aggregates 444110 across every state. Illinois’s statewide hub aggregates every NAICS with an IL tag. Only awards that carry both 444110 and Illinois place of performance belong here, which is why this page cites 469,221 awards and $739,000,319.31.
Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. 444110 awards coded to Indiana, Wisconsin, or Missouri do not enter this sum even if a vendor’s mailroom sits in Chicago. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a Midwest retail chain.
Obligations, not outlays, on the Illinois 444110 cell
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $739,000,319.31 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as lumber already hauled from Illinois over-reads the field. 469,221 remains an award-record count, not a payment count.
What the Illinois–444110 pair does not prove
A large home centers total in Illinois does not mean the code caused Illinois’s industry mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. Store counts and same-store sales are not USAspending columns here.
Keep $739,000,319.31 labeled as NAICS 444110 obligations with Illinois place of performance. Illinois federal spending still includes other industries that must not be folded into this home centers cell. NAICS 444110 is 444110 without the Illinois filter. Illinois industries lists sibling Illinois codes.
How to cite home centers in Illinois
A clean footnote names NAICS 444110 (home centers), Illinois place of performance, $739,000,319.31 in obligations, and 469,221 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $1,575. Do not treat the huge row count as a unique-store census. All spending ties indexes other pairs.
A later ingest can restate $739,000,319.31 without changing the join of 444110 and IL. Illinois federal spending still mixes every Illinois industry; do not quote that parent as 444110. NAICS 444110 is the national home centers code without the Illinois tag. Illinois industries keeps sibling Illinois codes unmerged. 469,221 is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-vendor census. Keep the obligation label on $739,000,319.31. Correlation is not causation. A mean near $1,575 is a ratio, not proof that every action was a small hardware ticket.
