STUDIO CITY, CA: $94.9M on 72,676 FEC receipts

How FEC.gov stored STUDIO CITY as a city

Studio City’s city-field extract shows $94,936,047 across 72,676 contributions. Treat $1,306 as a derived average. It is not an FEC-published statistic with its own schedule.

Cite $94,936,047 only as itemized federal receipts tagged STUDIO CITY, CA. Studio City is a Los Angeles neighborhood name that filers typed as a city. It is still one FEC city string. 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.

Postal confusion with Los Angeles, Sherman Oaks, or North Hollywood is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $94,936,047 counts rows that stored STUDIO CITY, CA in state CA. 72,676 lines. About $1,306 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs.

Neighboring labels that are not Studio City

Neighboring municipalities are not included unless filers typed STUDIO CITY, CA. Suburb names, county names, and metro nicknames are different keys when they appear as the city field.

Cite the city field, the dollar total, and the line count together. Two of the three is an incomplete citation of STUDIO CITY, CA.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Studio City federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city STUDIO CITY, CA total $94,936,047 across 72,676 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 Studio City. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How should I read the 72,676 figure for STUDIO CITY, CA?

LobbyVault counts 72,676 itemized contributions for STUDIO CITY, CA. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 72,676 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $94,936,047.

What city field does FEC use for Studio City?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed STUDIO CITY with state CA. Office addresses and mail that list Studio City can be part of $94,936,047 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 72,676-line count follows the same rule.

How current is the $94,936,047 total for Studio City?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $94,936,047 and 72,676 lines for STUDIO CITY, CA. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from CA are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
