FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI sum to $69,072,569 across 118,771 contributions.

Key figures

  • Bloomfield Hills’s federal itemized city book is $69,072,569 across 118,771 contributions.
  • Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
  • Detroit is a separate city string, not inside this total.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Oakland County string, not Detroit

Divide $69,072,569 by 118,771 and the average itemized line is about $582. Detroit, on a larger dollar total, carries 200,432 lines and a lower mean on this extract. Bloomfield Hills is a thinner suburban file.

Birmingham, West Bloomfield, and Troy are other Oakland County city strings. They are not inside $69,072,569 unless the filer typed BLOOMFIELD HILLS. Oakland County, Michigan is orientation, not an FEC dimension.

A PAC or joint-fundraising committee that listed Bloomfield Hills can share the city field with household streets. LobbyVault does not recode those rows. The 118,771 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Do not fold Bloomfield Hills into Detroit

Detroit is a separate city hub. Adding Bloomfield Hills to Detroit and calling the sum “metro Detroit” is a recode this packet does not publish.

Keep BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI as the citation. Recheck $69,072,569 and 118,771 on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Bloomfield Hills federal contributions?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI total $69,072,569 across 118,771 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Bloomfield Hills residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
Is 118,771 the number of Bloomfield Hills donors?
No. LobbyVault counts 118,771 itemized contribution lines. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $69,072,569. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 118,771 should not be quoted as a Bloomfield Hills population of donors.
Does Bloomfield Hills’s total include Detroit or Birmingham?
No, unless the filer typed BLOOMFIELD HILLS. Detroit and Birmingham are separate city strings. $69,072,569 is the BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI match. The 118,771 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub. Metro Detroit is a research phrase, not an FEC dimension on this hub.
How current is the $69,072,569 Bloomfield Hills total?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $69,072,569 and 118,771 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Michigan non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $582 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.
