HOLLYWOOD, FL: $22.4M on 61,858 FEC receipts

61,858 lines carrying $22,412,013

The headline pair is $22,412,013 and 61,858 lines. The implied average is about $362. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the HOLLYWOOD book. Broward County filers typed HOLLYWOOD with state FL.

HOLLYWOOD, FL is a Broward County city field, not Hollywood, California. State FL is required in the citation. Fort Lauderdale and Miami are neighboring strings with their own hubs; Hallandale Beach is another Broward key. 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 $22,412,013 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of HOLLYWOOD gave. The 61,858 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints HOLLYWOOD together with Fort Lauderdale, Hallandale Beach, and Miami, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $22,412,013 on 61,858 HOLLYWOOD, FL rows, mean near $362. Keep the stored spelling HOLLYWOOD in the citation.

Why HOLLYWOOD on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Hollywood give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city HOLLYWOOD, FL total $22,412,013 across 61,858 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. No. This extract is HOLLYWOOD with state FL. Hollywood, CA is a different FEC city-and-state key.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $22,412,013. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $362 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Outside the HOLLYWOOD itemized book

$22,412,013 is not spending by HOLLYWOOD candidates. A candidate who lives in HOLLYWOOD can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged HOLLYWOOD, FL can go to a committee anywhere. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside both packet facts.

Postal confusion with Fort Lauderdale, Hallandale Beach, and Miami is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $22,412,013 counts rows that stored HOLLYWOOD, FL. 61,858 lines. About $362 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs. FL state-office receipts are omitted.

HOLLYWOOD versus Miami on the FEC tape

HOLLYWOOD is a Broward mid-volume book. 61,858 lines produce $22,412,013, a mean near $362. That line count is not a unique-donor count. Comparing this mean to Miami is only valid on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts.

A HOLLYWOOD total of $22,412,013 does not absorb Fort Lauderdale, Hallandale Beach, and Miami. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State FL stays on the citation so HOLLYWOOD, FL is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Mixing in FL state-campaign data breaks the comparison.

City total versus postal codes in FL

61,858 city-field lines can spread across many ZIPs or cluster in a few. This packet does not list those ZIPs. Open the ZIP directory and the live HOLLYWOOD hub rather than guessing the split. After an amendment wave, recheck both the city hub and any ZIP you compared. Snapshots drift independently.

Because this packet carries only city, state, dollar total, and contribution count, every other story about HOLLYWOOD politics sits outside the extract. That includes candidate quality, issue fights, and local election results. This guide stays on the two numbers FEC.gov supplied for the city field: $22,412,013 and 61,858.

Source tables for $22,412,013

A mean of about $362 is division of $22,412,013 by 61,858. It is fair to report as arithmetic. It is not fair to report as a typical resident of HOLLYWOOD. Means move with a few large lines. Internal links on this page go only to the HOLLYWOOD city hub, the all-cities directory, and the ZIP directory.

HOLLYWOOD’s $22,412,013 across 61,858 contributions is a Broward County city field, mean near $362. Fort Lauderdale is a neighboring string, not a subset. Broward County is not summed here. Repeat gifts add rows. Cite $22,412,013 with 61,858 from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, the newer FEC extract controls.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city HOLLYWOOD, FL?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city HOLLYWOOD, FL total $22,412,013 across 61,858 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 Hollywood. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $362 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is this Hollywood, California?

No. This extract is HOLLYWOOD with state FL. Hollywood, CA is a different FEC city-and-state key. LobbyVault counts 61,858 itemized contributions for HOLLYWOOD, FL against $22,412,013. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 61,858 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Hollywood total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed HOLLYWOOD with state FL. Office addresses and mail that list Hollywood can be part of $22,412,013 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 61,858-line count follows the same rule.

Are Hollywood numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $22,412,013 and 61,858 lines for HOLLYWOOD, 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.
