BALTIMORE, MD

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city BALTIMORE, MD sum to $116,865,577 across 320,791 contributions. Baltimore, Maryland’s city field is a federal itemized roll-up, not a Maryland Board of Elections extract. 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

  • $116,865,577 and 320,791 lines are the BALTIMORE, MD packet facts.
  • Mean near $364 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
  • The all-cities and ZIP directories are the next tables on the same series.
  • If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

$116,865,577 is a Schedule A city total

FEC.gov indexed 320,791 itemized rows to contributor city BALTIMORE, MD. Their sum is $116,865,577. The mean near $364 describes the average row, not a household and not a census tract.

Maryland’s largest city is the contributor-city label. Annapolis state filings are outside this federal series. The 320,791-line count is a contribution-line total. It is not a headcount of Baltimore residents. 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.

Metro shorthand that folds Towson or Columbia into Baltimore is a recode. FEC.gov stored BALTIMORE, MD. $116,865,577 across 320,791 contributions, mean near $364, belongs to that spelling. Annapolis is a different key if it appears as the city field.

How to read the MD city key for Baltimore

City-name spelling is part of the key. BALTIMORE with state MD is the unit. A close spelling, a neighborhood abbreviation, or a merged metro label is a different aggregate if FEC stored it differently.

Independent expenditures that mention a Baltimore race can be paid by a committee with a different city on its own reports. Those disbursements do not move $116,865,577. Keep independent-expenditure tables separate from this city total.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city Baltimore?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city BALTIMORE, MD total $116,865,577 across 320,791 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 Baltimore. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
What does the Baltimore contribution count mean?
LobbyVault counts 320,791 itemized contributions for BALTIMORE, MD. 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 320,791 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $116,865,577.
Can committee addresses appear in the Baltimore city total?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed BALTIMORE with state MD. Office addresses and mail that list Baltimore can be part of $116,865,577 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 320,791-line count follows the same rule.
Are Baltimore numbers from FEC.gov?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $116,865,577 and 320,791 lines for BALTIMORE, MD. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from MD are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $364 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
