Congressional district profile · federal money

New York's 6th congressional district (NY-06)

part of Queens

NY state profile · Federal awards performed here (place of performance), USAspending.gov

Why these numbers?

Sources: USAspending.gov awards, Census Bureau population estimates; data as of 2026-10-23.
Federal money is counted where the work is done (place of performance), not where the recipient is based.
Per resident: all federal awards divided by the Census Bureau's resident estimate. Rankings change with the measure: Washington, DC ranks high on contracts (much of the work for agencies' headquarters is done there); North Dakota and the other Medicare hubs rank high on all awards, because Medicare payments are booked where its claims contractors are.
Amounts are obligations (money committed) by federal fiscal year (October to September), not outlays (money paid).

The Department of Housing and Urban Development spends the most here ($29.15M). The largest contractor working here is Data Conversion Laboratory, Inc. ($1.82M). The largest grant or aid program is Project-based Rental Assistance (pbra) ($25.09M).

Obligations by fiscal year across all loaded years: from $78.15M (2023) to $67.75M (2026).

Obligations by fiscal year

Fiscal year	Obligations
2023	$78.15M
2024	$83.24M
2025	$65.93M
2026	$67.75M

Why this number?

Amounts are obligations (money committed), not outlays (money paid).
No year given: covers FY2023–FY2026.
Location is where the work is performed, not where the recipient is based.
Medicare payments are published as aggregate records placed where Medicare's claims contractors are (mostly Minnesota, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, North Dakota, Connecticut, Florida and South Carolina), not where patients live, so those states show far more HHS money than their population suggests (ask for Medicare payments by patients' home state for where beneficiaries live).
Congressional districts use current boundaries (USAspending's current-district field); representatives are today's members. Money reported for a whole state or several districts, and payments with no location (much of Medicare, Social Security), are not in any district.

Why this number?

Amounts are obligations (money committed), not outlays (money paid).
Business types are the vendor's status as certified for each contract action (small or other than small, woman-owned, veteran-owned, 8(a), HUBZone...). They overlap (a firm can be small, woman-owned and 8(a) at once), so they don't add up to the total. This is who got the money, not whether the contract was set aside.
Location is where the work is performed, not where the recipient is based.
Congressional districts use current boundaries (USAspending's current-district field); representatives are today's members. Money reported for a whole state or several districts, and payments with no location (much of Medicare, Social Security), are not in any district.
Contracts only (industry, product, set-aside and business-type details exist only for contracts).
