Reading the records
What these dollars measure
America.co matched the Treasury county codes to the Census Bureau’s county codes. The snapshot was retrieved November 10, 2026. The most recent fiscal year can change as transactions are reported or corrected.
- Net obligations are recorded federal commitments and reductions during a fiscal year. Negative transactions reduce the total. Obligations are distinct from cash payments, award ceilings and completed work.
- Grants here include block, formula and project grants and cooperative agreements. Contracts include the four Treasury prime contract award types. Loans, direct payments, subawards and other categories are outside this view.
- Work location uses the reported primary place of performance. Recipient location uses the award recipient’s reported location. These are separate views of the same kinds of records and should never be added together. A location can be missing or cover work that also benefits other areas.
- Per resident divides the latest reported work-location grant dollars by the Census July 2025 resident population estimate. It describes the size of the total relative to population.
- No row means that query returned no matched county record. It is not evidence of zero. Unmatched codes, including Connecticut’s newer Census planning regions, are outside this release. Prior-year totals can also be revised.
