EVANSVILLE, IN

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city EVANSVILLE, IN sum to $17.6M across 54,616 contributions. Evansville is an Ohio River mid-volume book in Vanderburgh County on the Ohio River in southwest Indiana: 54,616 lines against $17.6M produces a mean near $322 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

  • $17,610,971 and 54,616 lines are the EVANSVILLE, IN packet facts.
  • Mean near $322 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
  • Evansville is not Indianapolis on the FEC city key.
  • If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

54,616 lines carrying $17,610,971

The headline pair is $17,610,971 and 54,616 lines. The implied average is about $322. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the EVANSVILLE book. Vanderburgh County filers typed EVANSVILLE with state IN.

Evansville is a southwest-Indiana river city field. Indianapolis is a different central-Indiana string. Henderson, Kentucky is a neighboring state-and-city key, not a subset of EVANSVILLE, IN. 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 $17,610,971 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of EVANSVILLE gave. The 54,616 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints EVANSVILLE together with Newburgh, Henderson, and Owensboro, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $17,610,971 on 54,616 EVANSVILLE, IN rows, mean near $322. Keep the stored spelling EVANSVILLE in the citation.

Why EVANSVILLE on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Evansville give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city EVANSVILLE, IN total $17,610,971 across 54,616 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. No. EVANSVILLE, IN is the stored Vanderburgh string. Indianapolis is a different city key.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $17,610,971. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $322 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city EVANSVILLE, IN?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city EVANSVILLE, IN total $17,610,971 across 54,616 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 Evansville. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $322 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
Is Evansville folded into Indianapolis on this extract?
No. EVANSVILLE, IN is the stored Vanderburgh string. Indianapolis is a different city key. LobbyVault counts 54,616 itemized contributions for EVANSVILLE, IN against $17,610,971. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 54,616 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Does the Evansville total include only residents?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed EVANSVILLE with state IN. Office addresses and mail that list Evansville can be part of $17,610,971 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 54,616-line count follows the same rule.
Are Evansville numbers from FEC.gov?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $17,610,971 and 54,616 lines for EVANSVILLE, IN. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from IN 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.
