JACKSONVILLE, FL: $94.6M on 235,257 FEC receipts

Jacksonville, FL: the itemized dollar total

Divide $94,607,532 by 235,257 and the average itemized line is about $402. Averages hide mixed line sizes. This packet has no distribution, so $402 is a mean, not a typical resident gift.

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. Duval County’s Jacksonville string covers a large Florida municipality as a label, not as a land-area score.

Keep Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, and Orange Park off the Jacksonville citation unless the receipt actually stored those cities. $94,607,532 is the JACKSONVILLE, FL string alone. 235,257 itemized rows and about $402 per row are the shape of that string, not of the metro map.

Volume and average on the Jacksonville book

Jacksonville sits in a mid-range mean band on this extract: about $402 from $94,607,532 divided by 235,257. The pair is a city-field average, not a ranking of political intensity.

A later extract can move Jacksonville across that description if large lines are refunded or if many small lines are added. Recheck $94,607,532 and 235,257 on the hub.

The FEC city field behind JACKSONVILLE, FL

FEC.gov stores whatever city string appeared on the itemized receipt. JACKSONVILLE, FL is that string plus state FL. Recoding rows into a Census place would be a new dataset. This page does not do that recode.

ZIP pages under the same state cut the same series more finely. A Jacksonville city total is not the sum of every ZIP that postal service maps to Jacksonville; it is the sum of rows that typed this city string.

Metro shorthand that folds Jacksonville Beach or Atlantic Beach into Jacksonville is a recode. FEC.gov stored JACKSONVILLE, FL. $94,607,532 across 235,257 contributions, mean near $402, belongs to that spelling. Orange Park is a different key if it appears as the city field.

Finer grain than JACKSONVILLE, FL

Use ZIP pages to see concentration inside a metro without replacing $94,607,532. Adding selected ZIPs and calling the sum “Jacksonville” is a recode. FEC.gov did not publish that recode on this city packet.

State FL on the city key is required in the citation so Jacksonville is not confused with a same-named city in another state.

A complete JACKSONVILLE, FL footnote names FEC.gov as the source, names contributor city as the dimension, and prints $94,607,532 and 235,257 as a pair. Leaving off any of those parts turns a public-record total into a slogan. LobbyVault’s job on this page is the pair, the dimension, and the link to the live table.

Readers who live near Jacksonville Beach or Atlantic Beach still need the city string as filed. A Jacksonville mailing habit is not the FEC dimension. JACKSONVILLE, FL sums to $94,607,532 on 235,257 lines (about $402 each). Orange Park remains outside that pair.

Limits of the JACKSONVILLE, FL aggregate

State and local campaigns in FL file under state law. Those receipts are outside $94,607,532 and outside the 235,257 line count. Adding them by hand would mix disclosure systems.

The source for $94,607,532 and 235,257 is FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. If a later bulk file disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.

Jacksonville versus Jacksonville Beach is a different-key problem, not a suburb ranking. Atlantic Beach and Orange Park follow the same rule. Quote $94,607,532 and 235,257 for JACKSONVILLE, FL only. The mean near $402 does not travel with a neighbor’s name.

A complete JACKSONVILLE, FL citation

Title, H1, and table on the live hub should show the same $94,607,532 and 235,257 this guide cites. If they do not, the hub was rebuilt from a newer extract. Trust the hub over this paragraph.

Guides do not replace filings. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named receipt on the Jacksonville hub matters to a story.

Jacksonville’s $94,607,532 on 235,257 lines is the Duval County city string, mean near $402. Consolidated-city geography orients readers; FEC.gov still stored a city name, not a land-area index. Jacksonville Beach and Atlantic Beach are different strings if typed that way. Florida state-office campaigns are omitted. Tampa, Tallahassee, and Palm Beach remain other Florida keys. The 235,257 contributions are itemized federal rows. Repeat gifts add lines. A mean near $402 is $94,607,532 divided by 235,257.

Questions

What is the FEC donation total for JACKSONVILLE, FL?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city JACKSONVILLE, FL total $94,607,532 across 235,257 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 Jacksonville. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Is 235,257 a count of Jacksonville donors?

LobbyVault counts 235,257 itemized contributions for JACKSONVILLE, FL. 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 235,257 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $94,607,532.

Is JACKSONVILLE, FL a residency total?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed JACKSONVILLE with state FL. Office addresses and mail that list Jacksonville can be part of $94,607,532 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 235,257-line count follows the same rule.

What is the source for JACKSONVILLE, FL campaign money figures?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $94,607,532 and 235,257 lines for JACKSONVILLE, 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. The mean of about $402 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
