NORTHRIDGE, CA

50,228 lines carrying $22,444,304

The headline pair is $22,444,304 and 50,228 lines. The implied average is about $447. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the NORTHRIDGE book. Los Angeles County filers typed NORTHRIDGE with state CA.

Northridge is a San Fernando Valley neighborhood stored as its own city string. Filers who typed LOS ANGELES are on a different hub. Reseda, Granada Hills, and Chatsworth are neighboring Valley strings, not subsets of NORTHRIDGE. 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 $22,444,304 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of NORTHRIDGE gave. The 50,228 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints NORTHRIDGE together with Reseda, Granada Hills, and Chatsworth, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $22,444,304 on 50,228 NORTHRIDGE, CA rows, mean near $447. Keep the stored spelling NORTHRIDGE in the citation.

Why NORTHRIDGE on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Northridge give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city NORTHRIDGE, CA total $22,444,304 across 50,228 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. Not on this extract. NORTHRIDGE, CA is the stored city field. LOS ANGELES is a different key when filers typed it.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $22,444,304. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $447 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city NORTHRIDGE, CA?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city NORTHRIDGE, CA total $22,444,304 across 50,228 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 Northridge. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $447 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is Northridge rolled into Los Angeles on FEC reports?

Not on this extract. NORTHRIDGE, CA is the stored city field. LOS ANGELES is a different key when filers typed it. LobbyVault counts 50,228 itemized contributions for NORTHRIDGE, CA against $22,444,304. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 50,228 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Northridge total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed NORTHRIDGE with state CA. Office addresses and mail that list Northridge can be part of $22,444,304 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 50,228-line count follows the same rule.

Are Northridge numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $22,444,304 and 50,228 lines for NORTHRIDGE, 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.
