Ohio 12th District

The Ohio 12th District (OH-12) filter on EPA

Awarding agency 068 and congressional district OH-12 meet here. $700,047,370.35 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Environmental Protection Agency’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Ohio 12th District (OH-12), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split EPA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. 53 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a Superfund site list, a permit census, or a named-grantee file.

Dividing $700,047,370.35 by 53 yields about $13,208,440.95 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 53 awards is a compact EPA file. The implied mean is large relative to a small-grant story and is still not a named Superfund site list. Do not treat OH-12’s 068 cell as a synonym for every EPA account nationwide. Open Ohio 12th District for the district table without this agency filter, Environmental Protection Agency for agency 068 without a OH-12 filter, Ohio federal spending for every awarding agency in the Ohio extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $700,047,370.35.

The Environmental Protection Agency awarding-agency rollup

USAspending labels awarding agency 068 as Environmental Protection Agency. That code produced $700,047,370.35 when crossed with Ohio 12th District (OH-12) place of performance. The agency-wide 068 hub does not require OH-12 geography. The district hub does not require EPA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 53 awards. The packet does not split EPA programs or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Ohio 12th District (OH-12) did not “cause” $700,047,370.35 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 068 × OH-12 only. It is not a Superfund site list, a permit census, or a named-grantee file. 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.

Questions

How much EPA spending is coded to Ohio 12th District (OH-12)?

USAspending.gov lists $700,047,370.35 in Environmental Protection Agency obligations across 53 awards with place of performance in Ohio 12th District (OH-12). Agency 068 × OH-12 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Ohio’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 10.6% of the district’s published total ($6,577,843,124.15). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $13,208,440.95, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $700,047,370.35 include every EPA program in OH-12?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split EPA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. $700,047,370.35 is the combined obligation sum for agency 068 inside OH-12 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Environmental Protection Agency and Ohio 12th District to inspect parent tables. 53 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $700,047,370.35 cash already paid in Ohio 12th District (OH-12)?

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 $700,047,370.35 as checks already cleared in Ohio 12th District (OH-12) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 53 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Why is the implied average $13,208,440.95 not a typical award?

The average is $700,047,370.35 divided by 53 awards, about $13,208,440.95. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
