AMERICUS, GA

5,017 lines carrying $25,397,141

Americus shows 5,017 itemizations behind $25,397,141. That mix is a thin stack with a high average line. A few large receipts can dominate a city total when the line count stays this low. Committee receipts that list an Americus address still sit in the same column as individual rows.

Sumter County’s Americus string is separate from Albany, GA, and Atlanta on the FEC city key. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Read $25,397,141 as tagged federal receipts, not as what Americus residents gave. The 5,017 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

A mean near $5,062 is the shape of this extract. It does not prove a typical gift. It does not name a committee. Named receipts on the Americus FEC page are the next click for researchers who need those labels.

Why AMERICUS on the receipt is not a census of Americus

Searchers often want “how much did people in Americus give.” The honest citation is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city AMERICUS, GA total $25,397,141 across 5,017 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim, especially on a high-mean book.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $25,397,141. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city Americus, GA?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city AMERICUS, GA total $25,397,141 across 5,017 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 Americus. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Why is Americus’s average contribution so high?

LobbyVault counts 5,017 itemized contributions for AMERICUS, GA against $25,397,141, a mean near $5,062. That is division, not a typical household gift. A low line count can be dominated by a few large receipts. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure or a top-line list, so 5,017 should not be quoted as a population.

Does the Americus total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed AMERICUS with state GA. Office addresses and mail that list Americus can be part of $25,397,141 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 5,017-line count follows the same rule.

Are Americus numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $25,397,141 and 5,017 lines for AMERICUS, GA. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from GA are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $5,062 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
