ANAHEIM, CA

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city ANAHEIM, CA sum to $15.9M across 82,369 contributions. Anaheim is a high-volume Orange County book: 82,369 lines against $15.9 million, a mean near $193. Santa Ana and Fullerton are neighboring keys. Irvine is a different Orange County city field. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census and not a party score. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • $15,872,868 and 82,369 lines are the ANAHEIM, CA packet facts.
  • Mean near $193 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
  • Anaheim is not Irvine on the FEC city key.
  • If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

82,369 lines behind ANAHEIM's $15.9M

ANAHEIM shows 82,369 itemizations behind $15,872,868. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. A file this long at $15.9M is a high-volume city field: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. The implied mean is about $193.

Anaheim is a high-volume Orange County book: 82,369 lines against $15.9 million, a mean near $193. Santa Ana and Fullerton are neighboring keys. Irvine is a different Orange County city field. The city total can include a PAC or joint-fundraising committee address when that is the city filers typed. LobbyVault does not recode those rows out of the city string. Read $15,872,868 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of Anaheim gave. The 82,369 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints Anaheim together with Santa Ana, Fullerton, and Garden Grove, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $15,872,868 on 82,369 ANAHEIM, CA rows, mean near $193. Keep the stored spelling ANAHEIM in the citation.

Why ANAHEIM on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Anaheim give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city ANAHEIM, CA total $15,872,868 across 82,369 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. The figure is itemized receipts, not unique persons. Repeat gifts add rows. Santa Ana is a different city string.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $15,872,868. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $193 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city ANAHEIM, CA?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city ANAHEIM, CA total $15,872,868 across 82,369 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in Anaheim. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $193 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
Does 82,369 lines mean 82,369 Anaheim residents?
No. The figure is itemized receipts, not unique persons. Repeat gifts add rows. Santa Ana is a different city string. LobbyVault counts 82,369 itemized contributions for ANAHEIM, CA against $15,872,868. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 82,369 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Does the Anaheim total include only residents?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed ANAHEIM with state CA. Office addresses and mail that list Anaheim can be part of $15,872,868 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 82,369-line count follows the same rule.
Are Anaheim numbers from FEC.gov?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $15,872,868 and 82,369 lines for ANAHEIM, CA. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from CA are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.

City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
