Reading $198,669,185.46 as a two-filter total
Start with the pair, not a story. Peace Corps plus District of Columbia is the definition of this page. $198,669,185.46 is the obligation aggregate USAspending.gov reports for that pair. 237 is the accompanying award count. Nothing else in the packet adds a third total.
Behind $198,669,185.46 sit 237 recorded actions. That is a mid-size award list. A long list is not automatically many distinct projects, and a short list is not automatically one project. The packet does not include a unique-award or unique-recipient field.

Division is not a typical-award study
Keep $838,266.61 labeled as a mean. Do not call it a typical training or operations award in District of Columbia. Typical would require a distribution, and the packet has only a sum and a count. Peace Corps in District of Columbia remains the live table.
The source note is unchanged: USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays.
District of Columbia geography versus neighboring codes
District of Columbia federal spending collects every awarding agency tagged to District of Columbia. Peace Corps collects every state tagged to Peace Corps. Only Peace Corps in District of Columbia is supposed to match $198,669,185.46 among those three links.
If a reader needs a city table, this packet is the wrong artifact. Statewide District of Columbia is the only geography grain published here.
No fiscal year is published in the facts
The sourceNote is: USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays. Repeating $198,669,185.46 as cash already spent in District of Columbia is a unit error, not a rounding error.
Cite USAspending.gov as the source. Do not cite FEC, Census, or a press office as the origin of $198,669,185.46. Those are other systems.
Donations do not fund this USAspending cell
No contractor, grantee, or beneficiary name is in the packet, so none is invented here. Unique vendors would live on the overlay if USAspending.gov lists them there.
Correlation is not causation. A large Peace Corps cell in District of Columbia does not explain District of Columbia politics, and District of Columbia politics does not explain $198,669,185.46.
Closing the loop on agency 1125 and DC
Reuse $198,669,185.46 only with both filters visible. Agency 1125 without District of Columbia is Peace Corps. District of Columbia without agency 1125 is District of Columbia federal spending.
All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $198,669,185.46. Peace Corps in District of Columbia remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance District of Columbia is statewide; it does not split Northwest, Northeast, and Southeast quadrants. Neighbor-coded activity in Maryland or Virginia stays out even if mail is handled in Washington. Correlation is not causation. Volunteer, training, and overseas-post folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Federal-city, monument, and neighborhood folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 1125 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national Peace Corps budget on this page. District of Columbia's $198,669,185.46 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Peace Corps and call the difference 'District of Columbia versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. Peace Corps is the awarding-agency label stored on the District of Columbia overlay; the numeric key is 1125. Readers who only remember the short name Peace Corps still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $198,669,185.46. The 237 figure is not a count of vendors and is not a count of distinct Peace Corps programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $838,266.61 is not a typical training or operations award. Washington is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/dc/agencies/1125/ and canonicalPath /ties/peace-corps-in-district-of-columbia/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $198,669,185.46 or 237, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $198,669,185.46, 237 awards, agency 1125, Peace Corps, District of Columbia (DC), and the obligation unit.
