Texas 16th District

The district cut on VA disability

This page exists because two tables meet: catalog 64.109 and congressional district TX-16. $827,798,865 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability nationwide, not the full $9,743,851,214.38 district book, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split rating percentages and does not publish a veteran denominator. 12 is an action count — modifications and continuations add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. The pair is not a veteran headcount, a rating census, or a named-beneficiary file.

$827,798,865 divided by 12 is about $68,983,238.75 per award on average. That quotient is two packet facts. It is not a typical monthly compensation or a posted per-veteran figure. 12 awards against an $827.80 million VA cell is a thin file. Do not invent a base census or named veterans. Do not treat TX-16’s 64.109 cell as a stand-in for every VA disability account in Texas. Use Texas 16th District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 64.109 for CFDA 64.109 without the TX-16 filter, Texas federal spending for the Texas extract, and All spending ties for other pairs. Those hubs are parents, not addends to $827,798,865.

The VA disability CFDA line

USAspending titles CFDA 64.109 as Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability. Crossing that catalog with Texas 16th District (TX-16) place of performance produced $827,798,865. The national 64.109 hub does not require TX-16. The district hub does not require VA disability. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 12 awards. The packet does not split rating percentages and does not publish a veteran denominator.

Correlation is not causation: Texas 16th District (TX-16) did not generate $827,798,865 merely by existing as a geography. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 64.109 × TX-16 only. It is not a veteran headcount, a rating census, or a named-beneficiary file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients. FEC contribution tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Questions

CFDA 64.109 × TX-16 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Texas’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 8.5% of the district’s published total ($9,743,851,214.38). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $68,983,238.75, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $827,798,865 include every VA disability project in TX-16?

The packet publishes one CFDA rollup. The packet does not split rating percentages and does not publish a veteran denominator. $827,798,865 is the combined obligation sum for CFDA 64.109 inside TX-16 coding. This page will not invent a project pie or name contractors. Open CFDA 64.109 and Texas 16th District to inspect parent tables. 12 remains an action count, not a count of veterans, ratings, or claims.

Is $827,798,865 cash already paid in Texas 16th District (TX-16)?

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 $827,798,865 as checks already cleared in Texas 16th District (TX-16) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 12 awards. Prefer the live district and program hubs if the tables moved.

Why is the implied average $68,983,238.75 not a typical award?

The average is $827,798,865 divided by 12 awards, about $68,983,238.75. 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.
