CORONA DEL MAR, CA: $28.9M on 42,462 FEC receipts

Fewer lines, a higher mean

Forty-two thousand four hundred sixty-two lines produce $28,885,299. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $680. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a typical household gift. FEC.gov does not publish a median on this city aggregate.

Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, and Irvine keep separate California hubs. They are not inside $28,885,299 unless the filer typed CORONA DEL MAR. Orange County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

CdM as typed, not Newport Beach

Corona del Mar is often treated as a Newport Beach neighborhood in news copy. FEC.gov stores whatever city appeared on the receipt. This packet publishes CORONA DEL MAR, CA only: $28,885,299 and 42,462 lines. Folding Newport Beach into this hub would be a recode.

State CA on the key is required in the citation. Recheck both facts on the live hub if a later extract lands.

City field versus postal map

FEC.gov stores whatever city appeared on the itemized receipt. CORONA DEL MAR plus CA is the match. Recoding into a Census place or a Newport Beach neighborhood label is a different dataset.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing coastal Orange County ZIPs can diverge from $28,885,299 when some receipts used Newport Beach as the city. The 42,462-line count follows the city field.

Limits of the Corona del Mar aggregate

California state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $28,885,299 and outside 42,462. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing CORONA DEL MAR, CA

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $28,885,299 with 42,462 together. Dropping the line count hides why the mean sits near $680.

Office addresses can share the Corona del Mar city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 42,462 lines are receipts, not unique persons. If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Corona del Mar receipt matters.

How researchers should use the Corona del Mar hub

Start on the live Corona del Mar city page, then open ZIP pages if a postal cut is the real question. $28,885,299 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 42,462 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Newport Beach as the “real” city. Filers typed CORONA DEL MAR. LobbyVault indexed CORONA DEL MAR.

A mean near $680 is only $28,885,299 divided by 42,462. The relatively small line count is the shape of this extract. Occupation, recipient, and party are different FEC fields. None of those fields are in this packet. Cite the pair: contributor city CORONA DEL MAR, CA, $28,885,299, 42,462 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. California non-federal filings never enter either fact.

Newport Beach filers who typed that city never enter $28,885,299. This hub is CORONA DEL MAR as stored. The 42,462 lines are a compact book on $28.9 million, which is why the mean sits near $680. That mean is still not a typical gift and not a unique-donor figure.

Orange County is orientation. California non-federal filings stay outside. Cite CORONA DEL MAR, CA with both facts. Recheck the live hub. ZIP pages that mix Newport Beach postal codes will diverge from this pair. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city CORONA DEL MAR, CA total $28,885,299 across 42,462 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Corona del Mar residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

Why is Corona del Mar’s mean near $680?

Divide $28,885,299 by 42,462 and the arithmetic mean is about $680. The line count is smaller than on many $29 million city hubs. That is a shape fact, not a typical gift. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure and no median.

Does Corona del Mar’s total include Newport Beach?

Only if the filer typed CORONA DEL MAR. Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, and Irvine are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $28,885,299 is the CORONA DEL MAR, CA match. The 42,462 lines follow the same rule.

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $28,885,299 and 42,462 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
