DELRAY BEACH, FL

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city DELRAY BEACH, FL sum to $18.8M across 69,648 contributions. Delray Beach is a coastal Palm Beach volume book in southern Palm Beach County on Florida’s Atlantic coast: 69,648 lines against $18.8M produces a mean near $270 from those two packet facts. 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

  • $18,828,315 and 69,648 lines are the DELRAY BEACH, FL packet facts.
  • Mean near $270 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
  • Delray Beach is not Miami on the FEC city key.
  • If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

69,648 lines behind DELRAY BEACH's $18.8M

DELRAY BEACH shows 69,648 itemizations behind $18,828,315. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. A file this long at $18.8M is a high-volume city field: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. The implied mean is about $270.

DELRAY BEACH is the two-word coastal string as stored. A DELRAY-only row, if it exists, is a different key. Boca Raton and Boynton Beach are neighboring Palm Beach strings, not subsets of this total. 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 $18,828,315 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of DELRAY BEACH gave. The 69,648 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints DELRAY BEACH together with Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, and Highland Beach, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $18,828,315 on 69,648 DELRAY BEACH, FL rows, mean near $270. Keep the stored spelling DELRAY BEACH in the citation.

Why DELRAY BEACH on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Delray Beach give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city DELRAY BEACH, FL total $18,828,315 across 69,648 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. No. DELRAY BEACH, FL is the stored two-word string. Boca Raton is a different city key.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $18,828,315. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $270 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city DELRAY BEACH, FL?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city DELRAY BEACH, FL total $18,828,315 across 69,648 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 Delray Beach. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $270 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
Is Delray Beach merged with Boca Raton on FEC reports?
No. DELRAY BEACH, FL is the stored two-word string. Boca Raton is a different city key. LobbyVault counts 69,648 itemized contributions for DELRAY BEACH, FL against $18,828,315. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 69,648 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Does the Delray Beach total include only residents?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed DELRAY BEACH with state FL. Office addresses and mail that list Delray Beach can be part of $18,828,315 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 69,648-line count follows the same rule.
Are Delray Beach numbers from FEC.gov?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $18,828,315 and 69,648 lines for DELRAY BEACH, FL. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from FL 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.
