DELRAY BEACH, FL: $18.8M on 69,648 FEC receipts

69,648 lines behind DELRAY BEACH's $18.8M

DELRAY BEACH shows 69,648 itemizations behind $18,828,315. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. A file this long at $18.8M is a high-volume city field: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. The implied mean is about $270.

DELRAY BEACH is the two-word coastal string as stored. A DELRAY-only row, if it exists, is a different key. Boca Raton and Boynton Beach are neighboring Palm Beach strings, not subsets of this total. 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. Read $18,828,315 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of DELRAY BEACH gave. The 69,648 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints DELRAY BEACH together with Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, and Highland Beach, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $18,828,315 on 69,648 DELRAY BEACH, FL rows, mean near $270. Keep the stored spelling DELRAY BEACH in the citation.

Why DELRAY BEACH on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Delray Beach give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city DELRAY BEACH, FL total $18,828,315 across 69,648 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. No. DELRAY BEACH, FL is the stored two-word string. Boca Raton is a different city key.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $18,828,315. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $270 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

DELRAY BEACH receipts versus local campaigns

A DELRAY BEACH, FL tag records the contributor city on a federal itemization. It does not record where a DELRAY BEACH candidate spent money. $18,828,315 can leave town. Unitemized federal gifts and FL state-office receipts sit outside the 69,648 lines.

Mail and office addresses that store DELRAY BEACH still count. That is why Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, and Highland Beach should not be treated as the same book. About $270 per line is arithmetic on $18,828,315 and 69,648.

Reading DELRAY BEACH against Miami

Place DELRAY BEACH next to Miami only if both figures are contributor-city itemized federal receipts. A coastal palm beach volume book: 69,648 lines, $18,828,315, mean near $270.

Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, and Highland Beach remain other keys. Keep state FL so DELRAY BEACH, FL is not added to a twin elsewhere. FL state-campaign totals are a different filing system than this FEC city extract.

FL ZIPs are not a substitute for DELRAY BEACH

Do not back into a DELRAY BEACH story from a ZIP you assume belongs there. This packet does not publish those codes. 69,648 city-field lines wait on the live hub and the ZIP directory for any geographic split.

Candidate quality, issue fights, and local election results are not in the packet. The extract’s numbers are $18,828,315 and 69,648 from FEC.gov for the city field DELRAY BEACH, FL.

Packet facts for DELRAY BEACH

$18,828,315 divided by 69,648 is about $270. Quote the pair. Quoting only the mean hides the line count. Repeat gifts add rows. Palm Beach County is the geography of the string, not a summed county total.

Boca Raton is next door on a map and separate on the tape. Cite $18,828,315 with 69,648 from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. If the live DELRAY BEACH hub disagrees with this snapshot, the newer FEC extract controls.

Researchers citing DELRAY BEACH should keep state FL in the sentence so readers do not hunt a same-named place. The live city table can show named committees that this snapshot does not list. A later FEC extract can move $18,828,315 or 69,648 without this guide rewriting itself. Treat the mean near $270 as division only. Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, and Highland Beach remain other strings. The 69,648-line count still is not a headcount.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city DELRAY BEACH, FL?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city DELRAY BEACH, FL total $18,828,315 across 69,648 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 Delray Beach. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $270 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is Delray Beach merged with Boca Raton on FEC reports?

No. DELRAY BEACH, FL is the stored two-word string. Boca Raton is a different city key. LobbyVault counts 69,648 itemized contributions for DELRAY BEACH, FL against $18,828,315. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 69,648 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Delray Beach total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed DELRAY BEACH with state FL. Office addresses and mail that list Delray Beach can be part of $18,828,315 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 69,648-line count follows the same rule.

Are Delray Beach numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $18,828,315 and 69,648 lines for DELRAY BEACH, FL. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from FL are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
