IDAHO FALLS, ID

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city IDAHO FALLS, ID sum to $22.3M across 19,519 contributions. Idaho Falls is a thin high-mean Snake River book in Bonneville County on the Snake River in eastern Idaho: 19,519 lines against $22.3M produces a mean near $1,145 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

  • $22,348,676 and 19,519 lines are the IDAHO FALLS, ID packet facts.
  • Mean near $1,145 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
  • Idaho Falls is not Boise on the FEC city key.
  • If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

19,519 lines carrying $22,348,676

IDAHO FALLS shows 19,519 itemizations behind $22,348,676. That mix is a thinner stack with a high average line relative to volume books that post similar dollars on 70,000-plus rows. The implied mean is about $1,145. Committee receipts that list a IDAHO FALLS address still sit in the same column as individual rows.

Idaho Falls is a thin eastern-Idaho book: 19,519 lines against $22.3 million, a mean near $1,145. Boise is a different Ada County string. Rexburg and Pocatello are neighboring keys, not subsets. 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 $22,348,676 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of IDAHO FALLS gave. The 19,519 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints IDAHO FALLS together with Ammon, Rexburg, and Pocatello, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $22,348,676 on 19,519 IDAHO FALLS, ID rows, mean near $1,145. Keep the stored spelling IDAHO FALLS in the citation.

Why IDAHO FALLS on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Idaho Falls give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city IDAHO FALLS, ID total $22,348,676 across 19,519 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. Nineteen thousand five hundred nineteen lines against $22,348,676 produce that mean. A short file at this dollar scale can be dominated by large receipts.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $22,348,676. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $1,145 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city IDAHO FALLS, ID?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city IDAHO FALLS, ID total $22,348,676 across 19,519 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 Idaho Falls. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $1,145 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
Why is Idaho Falls’ average line near $1,145?
Nineteen thousand five hundred nineteen lines against $22,348,676 produce that mean. A short file at this dollar scale can be dominated by large receipts. LobbyVault counts 19,519 itemized contributions for IDAHO FALLS, ID against $22,348,676. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 19,519 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Does the Idaho Falls total include only residents?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed IDAHO FALLS with state ID. Office addresses and mail that list Idaho Falls can be part of $22,348,676 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 19,519-line count follows the same rule.
Are Idaho Falls numbers from FEC.gov?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $22,348,676 and 19,519 lines for IDAHO FALLS, ID. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from ID 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.
