What this data cannot show

  • An obligation is a binding commitment to pay, not money paid. Outlays are reported separately and the two are never equal in the same year.
  • Direct payments are recorded against a place that is not necessarily where the people receiving them live, and they are most of this figure in most counties. The award-type split below is the part of it that means what it sounds like.
  • This page is built from the database rather than from the committed extract, so it covers every county the publisher reported and not only the largest hundred the ranking names. Both come from the same ingest on the date above.
