RIVERSIDE, CA: $28.4M on 112,220 FEC receipts

Riverside’s volume relative to its dollars

One hundred twelve thousand two hundred twenty lines produce $28,376,398. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $253. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a ranking of Inland Empire giving. FEC.gov does not publish a median on this city aggregate.

San Bernardino, Corona, and Moreno Valley keep separate California hubs. They are not inside $28,376,398 unless the filer typed RIVERSIDE. Riverside County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

County seat, not the county total

Riverside is the county seat. FEC.gov still stores a city field, not a county field, on this hub. This packet publishes RIVERSIDE, CA only: $28,376,398 and 112,220 lines. Adding Corona 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 string versus postal map

FEC.gov stores whatever city appeared on the itemized receipt. RIVERSIDE plus CA is the match. Recoding into a Census place or an Inland Empire MSA label is a different dataset.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing county ZIPs can diverge from $28,376,398 when some receipts used Corona or Moreno Valley as the city. The 112,220-line count follows the city field.

Limits of the Riverside aggregate

California state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $28,376,398 and outside 112,220. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing RIVERSIDE, CA

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $28,376,398 with 112,220 together. Dropping the line count hides Riverside’s volume on a $28.4 million book.

Office addresses can share the Riverside city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 112,220 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 Riverside receipt matters.

How researchers should use the Riverside hub

Start on the live Riverside city page, then open ZIP pages if a postal cut is the real question. $28,376,398 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 112,220 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers San Bernardino as the “real” Inland Empire. Filers typed RIVERSIDE. LobbyVault indexed RIVERSIDE.

A mean near $253 is only $28,376,398 divided by 112,220. The large line count is the shape of this extract. Occupation, recipient, and party are different FEC fields. None of those fields are in this packet. Do not infer turnout from the 112,220 rows. Cite the pair: contributor city RIVERSIDE, CA, $28,376,398, 112,220 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. California non-federal filings never enter either fact.

Moreno Valley, Jurupa Valley, and Corona share the county without sharing this city key. $28,376,398 is RIVERSIDE as typed. 112,220 is the matching line count. County-seat status does not pull those neighbors in. The mean near $253 is the high-volume shape of this extract.

Inland Empire is a regional label. Do not infer turnout from 112,220 rows. California non-federal filings stay outside. Cite RIVERSIDE, CA with both packet facts. Recheck the live hub. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Riverside’s 112,220 lines on $28,376,398 put the mean near $253. County-seat status does not pull Corona or Moreno Valley into the total. Inland Empire is not an FEC field. Do not convert 112,220 into persons. California state filings stay outside. Cite RIVERSIDE, CA with both packet facts. Recheck the live hub. Original reports remain on FEC.gov for named receipts.

Keep RIVERSIDE, CA, $28,376,398, and 112,220 in one citation. The mean near $253 is those two numbers divided. Corona remains a separate string. San Bernardino remains a separate string. Inland Empire remains a regional label. California non-federal filings remain outside. Unitemized federal gifts remain outside. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations remain outside. Start on the live city page. Open ZIP pages for a postal cut. Open FEC.gov for a named Riverside receipt. Do not convert 112,220 lines into unique persons.

Questions

What is Riverside’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city RIVERSIDE, CA total $28,376,398 across 112,220 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Riverside residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Riverside’s 112,220 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 112,220 itemized lines for RIVERSIDE, CA. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $28,376,398. The mean near $253 follows from division.

Does Riverside’s total include Corona or San Bernardino?

Only if the filer typed RIVERSIDE. San Bernardino, Corona, and Moreno Valley are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $28,376,398 is the RIVERSIDE, CA match. The 112,220 lines follow the same rule. Inland Empire is not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Riverside facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $28,376,398 and 112,220 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 $253 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
