FARMINGTON HILLS, MI

55,856 lines carrying $16,802,932

The headline pair is $16,802,932 and 55,856 lines. The implied average is about $301. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the FARMINGTON HILLS book. Oakland County filers typed FARMINGTON HILLS with state MI.

FARMINGTON HILLS is not FARMINGTON. Filers who typed the shorter city created a different Michigan key. West Bloomfield and Novi are neighboring Oakland strings. Detroit rows sit on another hub. 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 $16,802,932 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of Farmington Hills gave. The 55,856 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints Farmington Hills together with Farmington, West Bloomfield, and Novi, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $16,802,932 on 55,856 FARMINGTON HILLS, MI rows, mean near $301. Keep the stored spelling FARMINGTON HILLS in the citation.

Why FARMINGTON HILLS on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Farmington Hills give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city FARMINGTON HILLS, MI total $16,802,932 across 55,856 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. FARMINGTON HILLS, MI is the stored string. FARMINGTON without Hills is a different city key when typed.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $16,802,932. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $301 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city FARMINGTON HILLS, MI?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city FARMINGTON HILLS, MI total $16,802,932 across 55,856 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 Farmington Hills. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $301 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is Farmington Hills the same FEC city as Farmington, Michigan?

No. FARMINGTON HILLS, MI is the stored string. FARMINGTON without Hills is a different city key when typed. LobbyVault counts 55,856 itemized contributions for FARMINGTON HILLS, MI against $16,802,932. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 55,856 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Farmington Hills total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed FARMINGTON HILLS with state MI. Office addresses and mail that list Farmington Hills can be part of $16,802,932 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 55,856-line count follows the same rule.

Are Farmington Hills numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $16,802,932 and 55,856 lines for FARMINGTON HILLS, MI. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from MI are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
