LIVINGSTON, NJ

40,576 lines carrying $21,599,416

The headline pair is $21,599,416 and 40,576 lines. The implied average is about $532. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the LIVINGSTON book. Essex County filers typed LIVINGSTON with state NJ.

Livingston is an Essex County township string with a higher mean than many volume books: 40,576 lines against $21.6 million, about $532 each. Short Hills and Millburn are neighboring keys. Newark is a different Essex County city field. 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 $21,599,416 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of LIVINGSTON gave. The 40,576 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints LIVINGSTON together with Short Hills, Millburn, and West Orange, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $21,599,416 on 40,576 LIVINGSTON, NJ rows, mean near $532. Keep the stored spelling LIVINGSTON in the citation.

Why LIVINGSTON on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Livingston give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city LIVINGSTON, NJ total $21,599,416 across 40,576 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. Forty thousand five hundred seventy-six lines against $21,599,416 produce that mean. It is arithmetic, not a typical household gift.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $21,599,416. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $532 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city LIVINGSTON, NJ?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city LIVINGSTON, NJ total $21,599,416 across 40,576 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 Livingston. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $532 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Why is Livingston’s average line near $532?

Does the Livingston total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed LIVINGSTON with state NJ.
