BURBANK, CA: $39.9M on 75,342 FEC receipts

Burbank’s 75,342-line book

Seventy-five thousand three hundred forty-two lines produce $39,850,031. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $529. That mean is $39,850,031 divided by 75,342. It is not a typical gift from an employee, a household, or a media campus.

Glendale, North Hollywood, and Studio City are other San Fernando Valley city strings. They are not inside $39,850,031 unless the filer typed BURBANK. Los Angeles County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Burbank is not Los Angeles

Los Angeles keeps a separate California hub. Recoding Burbank into an LA city total would mix keys. This packet publishes BURBANK, CA only: $39,850,031 and 75,342 lines.

Employer is a different FEC field. A studio name on a receipt does not convert the city key. Keep BURBANK plus CA as the citation. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

City string versus ZIP pages

Filers type a city. The Commission stores that string. ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing 915xx ZIPs will not reproduce $39,850,031 when some receipts used Glendale or another label.

The 75,342-line count follows the city field. Rows can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address if that is what the filer typed. Those rows are still receipts, not unique persons.

What this table omits

California state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts sit outside $39,850,031 and outside 75,342. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

Nothing here estimates how Burbank voted. Occupation and recipient live on other FEC fields. Use the city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index.

Citing BURBANK, CA

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $39,850,031 with 75,342 together. Dropping the line count hides a mean near $529.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Burbank receipt matters. A campus or lot name is not an FEC city dimension.

How to use the Burbank hub

Start on the live Burbank city page. $39,850,031 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 75,342 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Los Angeles, Glendale, or North Hollywood as the “real” Valley address. Filers typed BURBANK. LobbyVault indexed BURBANK. Los Angeles County and studio-lot names are useful for maps and news copy. They are not FEC dimensions on this hub. A mean near $529 is only $39,850,031 divided by 75,342. It is not a typical Burbank household gift and not a typical lot-employee gift. Occupation is a different FEC field. Recipient is a different FEC field. Party is a different FEC field. None of those fields are in this packet. Do not infer them from the mean. Do not infer turnout. Los Angeles is a different city string with its own hub.

Cite the pair in one sentence: contributor city BURBANK, CA, $39,850,031, 75,342 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. If a later extract on the live hub prints a different pair, discard this snapshot. Original filings remain on FEC.gov for any named Burbank receipt that needs a line-by-line check. California non-federal filings never enter either fact. Unitemized federal gifts never enter either fact. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations never enter either fact. 75,342 is not a unique-donor census. $39,850,031 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both. The live Burbank hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. ZIP pages split a different field. An employer or studio name on a receipt does not convert the city key. Keep BURBANK plus CA as the citation.

Burbank’s pair on this extract is $39,850,031 and 75,342 lines, mean near $529. Print both. Glendale, North Hollywood, and Studio City remain other Valley strings. Los Angeles remains a separate California hub. Los Angeles County is orientation. A studio name is an employer field, not a city field. California state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. Repeat givers can inflate 75,342 without adding unique persons. The live Burbank FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. Open FEC.gov for a named receipt. Quote contributor city BURBANK, CA with both packet numbers.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Burbank federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city BURBANK, CA total $39,850,031 across 75,342 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Burbank residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Does Burbank’s total include Los Angeles or Glendale?

No, unless the filer typed BURBANK. Los Angeles and Glendale are separate California city hubs. $39,850,031 is the BURBANK, CA match. The 75,342 lines follow the same rule. Valley and county labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.
