Key figures

  • PALM BEACH, FL FEC itemizations total $108,657,771 across 92,679 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $1,172; 92,679 is a line count, not unique donors.
  • City is the contributor-city field on FEC itemizations.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

What $108,657,771 on the Palm Beach city field covers

$108,657,771 divided by 92,679 is about $1,172 per itemized line. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. FEC.gov does not publish a median, a unique-donor count, or a party split on this city aggregate. LobbyVault reports $108,657,771 and 92,679.

The Palm Beach town string is not the same FEC key as West Palm Beach. Do not add neighboring cities. 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.

Palm Beach versus West Palm Beach is a different-key problem, not a suburb ranking. Palm Beach Gardens and Palm Beach Shores follow the same rule. Quote $108,657,771 and 92,679 for PALM BEACH, FL only. The mean near $1,172 does not travel with a neighbor’s name.

Palm Beach is a contributor city, not a residency audit

The city is the contributor-city value on FEC itemizations. Filers type it. LobbyVault does not geocode Palm Beach against a municipal boundary file. A work address, a mail drop, or a household in a neighboring place that still typed PALM BEACH can sit inside $108,657,771.

Amended reports can raise or lower both $108,657,771 and 92,679. If the live Palm Beach hub reprints different figures, the newer FEC extract wins.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to Palm Beach, FL?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city PALM BEACH, FL total $108,657,771 across 92,679 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 Palm Beach. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to Palm Beach?
LobbyVault counts 92,679 itemized contributions for PALM BEACH, FL. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 92,679 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $108,657,771.
Does the Palm Beach total include only residents?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed PALM BEACH with state FL. Office addresses and mail that list Palm Beach can be part of $108,657,771 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 92,679-line count follows the same rule.
Where does LobbyVault get Palm Beach totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $108,657,771 and 92,679 lines for PALM 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. The mean of about $1,172 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

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