FORT COLLINS, CO: $31.0M on 114,847 FEC receipts

Fort Collins’ volume relative to its dollars

One hundred fourteen thousand eight hundred forty-seven lines produce $31,001,606. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $270. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a ranking of northern Colorado giving. FEC.gov does not publish a median on this city aggregate.

Loveland, Greeley, and Boulder keep separate Colorado hubs. They are not inside $31,001,606 unless the filer typed FORT COLLINS. Larimer County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Northern Front Range, not Denver

Denver and Colorado Springs keep separate hubs. Adding them to Fort Collins would be a recode. This packet publishes FORT COLLINS, CO only: $31,001,606 and 114,847 lines.

State CO 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. FORT COLLINS plus CO is the match. Recoding into a Census place or a Northern Colorado MSA label is a different dataset.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing Larimer ZIPs can diverge from $31,001,606 when some receipts used Loveland or Windsor as the city. The 114,847-line count follows the city field.

Limits of the Fort Collins aggregate

Colorado state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $31,001,606 and outside 114,847. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing FORT COLLINS, CO

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $31,001,606 with 114,847 together. Dropping the line count hides Fort Collins’ volume on a $31 million book.

Office addresses can share the Fort Collins city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 114,847 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 Fort Collins receipt matters.

How researchers should use the Fort Collins hub

Start on the live Fort Collins city page, then open ZIP pages if a postal cut is the real question. $31,001,606 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 114,847 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Boulder as the “real” Front Range. Filers typed FORT COLLINS. LobbyVault indexed FORT COLLINS.

A mean near $270 is only $31,001,606 divided by 114,847. 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. Cite the pair: contributor city FORT COLLINS, CO, $31,001,606, 114,847 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Colorado non-federal filings never enter either fact.

Windsor, Loveland, and Timnath share Larimer County without sharing this city key. $31,001,606 is FORT COLLINS. 114,847 is the matching line count. The mean near $270 is the high-volume shape of this extract. Northern Colorado is a news label, not an FEC field.

Boulder and Denver keep separate hubs. Do not infer turnout from 114,847 rows. Colorado non-federal filings stay outside. Cite FORT COLLINS, CO with both facts. Recheck the live hub. Original reports remain on FEC.gov for any named Fort Collins receipt that needs a line-by-line check.

Fort Collins carries 114,847 lines on $31,001,606. The mean near $270 is that volume. Loveland and Boulder remain separate hubs. Larimer County is a map. Northern Colorado is a news label. Neither is an FEC dimension. Do not convert 114,847 into persons. Cite FORT COLLINS, CO with both facts. Colorado state filings stay outside. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Keep FORT COLLINS, CO, $31,001,606, and 114,847 in one citation. The mean near $270 is those two numbers divided. Loveland remains a separate string. Boulder remains a separate string. Larimer County remains a map. Colorado 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 Fort Collins receipt. Do not convert 114,847 lines into unique persons.

Questions

What is Fort Collins’ federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city FORT COLLINS, CO total $31,001,606 across 114,847 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Fort Collins residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Fort Collins’ 114,847 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 114,847 itemized lines for FORT COLLINS, CO. 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 $31,001,606. The mean near $270 follows from division.

Does Fort Collins’ total include Loveland or Boulder?

Only if the filer typed FORT COLLINS. Loveland, Greeley, and Boulder are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $31,001,606 is the FORT COLLINS, CO match. The 114,847 lines follow the same rule. Larimer County is not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Fort Collins facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $31,001,606 and 114,847 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Colorado non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $270 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
