IRVINE, CA: $63.4M on 172,516 FEC receipts

Irvine’s Orange County city book

Divide $63,443,148 by 172,516 and the average itemized line is about $368. That mean is arithmetic. This packet has no median.

Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Anaheim, and Santa Ana are other Orange County city strings. They are not inside $63,443,148 unless the filer typed IRVINE. Orange County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Office addresses can share the Irvine city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 172,516 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Irvine, California is not Irvine elsewhere

State CA on the city key is required. Other states have places named Irvine. This book is IRVINE, CA only: $63,443,148 and 172,516 lines.

Do not add Irvine to Newport Beach and call the sum “Orange County.” Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

City field versus ZIP pages

Filers type a city. The Commission stores that string. Recoding Irvine into a Census place would be a different product.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Orange County ZIPs often straddle planned-community labels. Do not expect ZIP sums to equal $63,443,148. The 172,516-line count follows the city field.

What this table omits

California state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $63,443,148 and outside 172,516. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

An Irvine citation that names FEC.gov and prints $63,443,148 without 172,516 hides a mid-volume Orange County city book, mean near $368. Newport Beach and Anaheim remain other strings. County maps do not replace the city field.

If a later extract moves Irvine’s pair, the live hub is the authority. This guide is a snapshot. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Irvine receipt is the story. Unitemized gifts and California state filings remain outside $63,443,148 and 172,516.

Citing IRVINE, CA

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $63,443,148 with 172,516 together. Dropping the line count hides the mean near $368.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Irvine receipt matters.

Irvine’s $63,443,148 on 172,516 lines, mean near $368, is an Orange County city book, not a county total. Keep that distinction in the citation.

Newport Beach and Anaheim remain neighboring strings. State CA is required so a same-named Irvine elsewhere does not merge into $63,443,148.

What an Irvine reader should carry

Carry FEC.gov, contributor city IRVINE, CA, $63,443,148, and 172,516 lines. The mean near $368 is optional arithmetic. It is not a typical household gift and not a unique-donor average.

Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Anaheim, and Santa Ana stay off this page unless the filer typed IRVINE. California state-office receipts stay off this page. Unitemized federal gifts stay off this page.

Orange County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up. Planned-community labels are not FEC dimensions. Quote $63,443,148 with 172,516 and state CA together.

The live Irvine hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. If they disagree, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Irvine receipt matters. ZIP pages split a different field. Orange County ZIPs often straddle city labels.

Irvine’s 172,516 lines behind $63,443,148, mean near $368, describe an Orange County city string, not Orange County. Newport Beach, Anaheim, Laguna Beach, and Santa Ana stay on their own hubs.

State CA is required so a same-named Irvine elsewhere does not merge into $63,443,148. Planned-community language is not an FEC city dimension.

California state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. Orange County ZIPs often straddle city labels, so ZIP sums will not automatically equal $63,443,148. The Irvine hub holds the live table. Open FEC.gov for named receipts. Quote $63,443,148 with 172,516.

Irvine’s pair is $63,443,148 and 172,516 lines with state CA. Print all three. Newport Beach stays on its own hub. Orange County is orientation only. The live table on the Irvine FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge.

Questions

What is Irvine’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city IRVINE, CA total $63,443,148 across 172,516 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Irvine residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Irvine’s 172,516 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 172,516 itemized lines for IRVINE, CA. That is a line count, not a headcount. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $63,443,148. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 172,516 should not be quoted as an Irvine population of donors.

Does Irvine’s total include Newport Beach or Anaheim?

No, unless the filer typed IRVINE. Newport Beach and Anaheim are separate city strings. $63,443,148 is the IRVINE, CA match. The 172,516 lines follow the same rule. County labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub. Orange County is orientation, not an FEC dimension on this Irvine hub.

Where do the Irvine facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $63,443,148 and 172,516 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. California non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $368 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
