OAK PARK, IL

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city OAK PARK, IL sum to $17.3M across 77,013 contributions. Oak Park is a near-west Cook volume book in Cook County immediately west of Chicago: 77,013 lines against $17.3M produces a mean near $224 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

  • $17,278,593 and 77,013 lines are the OAK PARK, IL packet facts.
  • Mean near $224 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
  • Oak Park is not Chicago on the FEC city key.
  • If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

77,013 lines behind OAK PARK's $17.3M

OAK PARK shows 77,013 itemizations behind $17,278,593. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. A file this long at $17.3M 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 $224.

Oak Park is a near-west Cook County volume field, not Oak Park, Michigan. State IL is required. Chicago spellings are other keys. Forest Park and River Forest stay on their own hubs. 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 $17,278,593 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of OAK PARK gave. The 77,013 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints OAK PARK together with Forest Park, River Forest, and Chicago, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $17,278,593 on 77,013 OAK PARK, IL rows, mean near $224. Keep the stored spelling OAK PARK in the citation.

Why OAK PARK on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Oak Park give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city OAK PARK, IL total $17,278,593 across 77,013 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. Not on this extract. OAK PARK, IL is the stored suburban string. Chicago spellings are other keys. Oak Park, MI is a different state pair.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $17,278,593. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $224 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city OAK PARK, IL?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city OAK PARK, IL total $17,278,593 across 77,013 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 Oak Park. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $224 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
Is Oak Park rolled into Chicago on FEC reports?
Not on this extract. OAK PARK, IL is the stored suburban string. Chicago spellings are other keys. Oak Park, MI is a different state pair. LobbyVault counts 77,013 itemized contributions for OAK PARK, IL against $17,278,593. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 77,013 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Does the Oak Park total include only residents?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed OAK PARK with state IL. Office addresses and mail that list Oak Park can be part of $17,278,593 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 77,013-line count follows the same rule.
Are Oak Park numbers from FEC.gov?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $17,278,593 and 77,013 lines for OAK PARK, IL. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from IL 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.
