BELOIT, WI

9,543 lines carrying $16,384,895

BELOIT shows 9,543 itemizations behind $16,384,895. That mix is a thinner stack with a high average line relative to high-line city books that post similar dollars on far more rows. The implied mean is about $1,717. Committee receipts that list a BELOIT address still sit in the same column as individual rows.

Beloit is a thin Rock County book: 9,543 lines against $16.4 million, a mean near $1,717. South Beloit, Illinois is a different city-and-state key. Janesville and Rockford are neighboring strings, not subsets. 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 $16,384,895 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of Beloit gave. The 9,543 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints Beloit together with Janesville, South Beloit, and Rockford, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $16,384,895 on 9,543 BELOIT, WI rows, mean near $1,717. Keep the stored spelling BELOIT in the citation.

Why BELOIT on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Beloit give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city BELOIT, WI total $16,384,895 across 9,543 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. Nine thousand five hundred forty-three lines against $16,384,895 produce that mean. A short file at this dollar scale can be dominated by large receipts.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $16,384,895. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $1,717 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city BELOIT, WI?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city BELOIT, WI total $16,384,895 across 9,543 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 Beloit. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $1,717 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Why is Beloit’s average line near $1,717?

Nine thousand five hundred forty-three lines against $16,384,895 produce that mean. A short file at this dollar scale can be dominated by large receipts. LobbyVault counts 9,543 itemized contributions for BELOIT, WI against $16,384,895. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 9,543 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Beloit total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed BELOIT with state WI. Office addresses and mail that list Beloit can be part of $16,384,895 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 9,543-line count follows the same rule.

Are Beloit numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $16,384,895 and 9,543 lines for BELOIT, WI. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from WI are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
