The source's own congressional-district field is frequently missing or wrong, so these figures are derived and labeled inferred throughout the site. State-level figures are reliable; district-level ones are our best reading of the same records.
Questions
- Which congressional district receives the most federal spending in FY2023?
- IN-07, with $127.5B of federal work performed there in FY2023. District figures are inferred from place of performance.
- Why are district figures inferred rather than reported?
- Because the congressional-district field on federal award records is frequently blank or stale. We derive the district from the reported place of performance instead, and say so on every page that shows one.
- Where does this ranking come from?
- It is computed from USASpending.gov award records, which are U.S. government works and in the public domain. Each figure is the federal work performed in that district in FY2023, inferred from place of performance. TheFiscalFinder does the ranking; the underlying figures are the government's own.
- How many districts are shown?
- The top 100 for FY2023. Each row opens that district's own page, where the same money is broken out by year, by counterparty and by place.
- Does a high position mean anything is wrong?
- No. This is a description of where public money went in FY2023, computed from public records. It is not an allegation about anyone on it.

Facts taken straight from a federal filing are Source; figures we calculate are Computed; links we infer (corporate parents, districts, similar contractors, connections between records) are Inferred, worded carefully, never asserted as fact and never a claim that one thing caused another.
