HONOLULU, HI

Honolulu’s federal city total

Divide $78,939,472 by 226,742 and the average itemized line is about $348. Averages hide mixed line sizes. This packet has no distribution, so $348 is a mean, not a typical island household gift.

The city string can include a PAC or joint-fundraising committee address when that is the city filers typed. LobbyVault does not recode those rows out of HONOLULU. Oahu is orientation, not an FEC dimension on this roll-up.

Postal confusion with Kailua, Pearl City, or Aiea is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $78,939,472 counts rows that stored HONOLULU, HI. 226,742 lines. About $348 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs.

A mid-volume island book

Honolulu sits in the middle of this extract’s volume range: 226,742 lines produce $78,939,472, a mean near $348. That is neither a thin large-check file nor a tiny-dollar flood. Volume is not unique people.

A later extract can move Honolulu across that description if large lines are refunded or if many small lines are added. Recheck $78,939,472 and 226,742 on the hub.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Honolulu federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city HONOLULU, HI total $78,939,472 across 226,742 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 Honolulu. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How should I read the 226,742 figure for HONOLULU, HI?

LobbyVault counts 226,742 itemized contributions for HONOLULU, HI. 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 226,742 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $78,939,472. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors on the Honolulu string.

Does the Honolulu total count only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed HONOLULU with state HI. Office addresses and mail that list Honolulu can be part of $78,939,472 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 226,742-line count follows the same rule. Neighbor Oahu labels stay on their own hubs when filers typed those names instead of HONOLULU.

How current is the $78,939,472 total for Honolulu?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $78,939,472 and 226,742 lines for HONOLULU, HI. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from HI are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $348 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
