METAIRIE, LA

What the Metairie dollar total actually counts

Seventy thousand one hundred ninety-one itemized lines produce $32,905,168. Divide those two packet facts and the mean receipt is about $469. That mean is arithmetic, not a typical gift and not a unique-donor figure. FEC.gov does not publish a median on this city aggregate.

New Orleans, Kenner, and Harahan are neighboring Louisiana city strings. They sit outside $32,905,168 unless a filer typed METAIRIE. Jefferson Parish is map orientation. It is not an FEC roll-up on this hub.

East Bank suburb, not a metro merge

Queries often treat Metairie as a stand-in for the New Orleans metro. FEC.gov stores whatever city appeared on the receipt. This packet publishes METAIRIE, LA only: $32,905,168 and 70,191 lines.

State LA on the key is required in the citation. Recheck both facts on the live hub if a later extract lands.

Questions

What is Metairie’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city METAIRIE, LA total $32,905,168 across 70,191 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Metairie residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Metairie’s 70,191 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 70,191 itemized lines for METAIRIE, LA. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $32,905,168.

Does Metairie’s total include New Orleans?

Only if the filer typed METAIRIE. New Orleans, Kenner, and Harahan are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $32,905,168 is the METAIRIE, LA match. The 70,191 lines follow the same rule. Parish labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Metairie facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $32,905,168 and 70,191 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Louisiana non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $469 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
