ALBUQUERQUE, NM

A high-volume Albuquerque book

Three hundred eighty-six thousand seven hundred three lines produce $78,078,048. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $202. That is a volume shape: many receipts, a lower average than cities with similar dollars and fewer lines.

Volume is not unique people. Repeat givers, redesignations, and memo entries can inflate 386,703 without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. $78,078,048 is still the dollar sum of those lines.

Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, and Las Cruces are other New Mexico city strings. They are not inside Albuquerque unless the filer typed ALBUQUERQUE. Bernalillo County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up on this page.

Reading the $202 mean without a typical-gift story

About $202 per line is arithmetic from $78,078,048 and 386,703. The packet has no median and no size bins. A few large receipts can sit next to many small ones. Do not quote $202 as what an Albuquerque resident usually gave.

A later extract can raise or lower that mean if large lines are refunded or if small lines pile up. Recheck both facts on the live hub.

Questions

What does LobbyVault report for Albuquerque federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city ALBUQUERQUE, NM total $78,078,048 across 386,703 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Albuquerque residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Why is Albuquerque’s line count so high relative to the dollars?

This extract stores 386,703 itemized lines behind $78,078,048, a mean near $202. That is a volume book: many receipts, a lower average than cities with similar dollars and fewer lines. The packet has no unique-donor figure and no size distribution. Quote both facts together rather than the mean alone.

Does the Albuquerque total include Santa Fe or Rio Rancho?

Only if the filer typed ALBUQUERQUE as the city. Santa Fe and Rio Rancho are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $78,078,048 is the ALBUQUERQUE, NM match. The 386,703 lines follow the same rule. County and metro labels are not FEC dimensions on this hub. Bernalillo County and metro labels are not FEC dimensions on this Albuquerque hub.

How current is Albuquerque’s $78,078,048 figure?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $78,078,048 and 386,703 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. New Mexico non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $202 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
