What does LobbyVault show for Cleveland federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city CLEVELAND, OH total $104,708,861 across 169,946 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 Cleveland. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How should I read the 169,946 figure for CLEVELAND, OH?

LobbyVault counts 169,946 itemized contributions for CLEVELAND, OH. 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 169,946 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $104,708,861.

What city field does FEC use for Cleveland?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed CLEVELAND with state OH. Office addresses and mail that list Cleveland can be part of $104,708,861 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 169,946-line count follows the same rule.

How current is the $104,708,861 total for Cleveland?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $104,708,861 and 169,946 lines for CLEVELAND, OH. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from OH are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $616 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

The CLEVELAND, OH contributor-city book

169,946 itemized contributions produced $104,708,861 under the CLEVELAND, OH city key. About $616 per line follows from division. Repeat givers can lengthen 169,946 without adding new people; this packet has no unique-donor figure.

State OH on the same row keeps CLEVELAND, OH distinct from same-named cities elsewhere. Cuyahoga County geography orients Cleveland. Ohio state campaigns are not inside the federal city total. 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.

Postal confusion with Lakewood, Cleveland Heights, or Parma is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $104,708,861 counts rows that stored CLEVELAND, OH in state OH. 169,946 lines. About $616 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs.

Volume and average on the Cleveland book

Cleveland sits in a mid-range mean band on this extract: about $616 from $104,708,861 divided by 169,946. The pair is a city-field average, not a ranking of political intensity.

The shape is two numbers. $104,708,861 without 169,946 looks like a single pile of money. 169,946 without $104,708,861 looks like a turnout figure. Together they are an itemized city book.
