Thin LEIE volume band
LOCAL GOV'T in the thin-volume third
19 exclusions place LOCAL GOV'T in the bottom third by volume among 85 active provider types. Leading statutory reason: Conviction: Program-Related Crime (9, 47% of the category). NY, MT, MN account for the largest share of LOCAL GOV'T exclusions on record.
Thin volume (19 rows) can mean fewer federal billers, less audit exposure, or genuinely lower violation rates . LEIE alone cannot separate those causes.
