ORLANDO, FL: $76.0M on 242,758 FEC receipts

Orlando’s volume relative to its dollars

Two hundred forty-two thousand seven hundred fifty-eight lines produce $76,048,272. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $313. Boca Raton, on a nearby dollar total, carries fewer lines and a higher mean on this extract. That contrast is a shape fact, not a character study.

Kissimmee, Winter Park, and Sanford are other Central Florida city strings. They are not inside $76,048,272 unless the filer typed ORLANDO. Orange County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Office addresses can share the Orlando city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 242,758 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Not a Central Florida sum

Tampa, Jacksonville, Miami, and Boca Raton keep separate Florida hubs. Adding them to Orlando would be a recode. This packet publishes ORLANDO, FL only: $76,048,272 and 242,758 lines.

State FL 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. ORLANDO plus FL is the match. Recoding into a Census place is a different dataset.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing Orlando-area ZIPs can diverge from $76,048,272 when some receipts used Winter Park or Kissimmee as the city. The 242,758-line count follows the city field.

Limits of the Orlando aggregate

Florida state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $76,048,272 and outside 242,758. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

An Orlando citation that names FEC.gov and prints $76,048,272 without 242,758 hides the volume that separates this hub from Boca Raton. The mean near $313 is arithmetic from those two packet facts. Orange County maps do not replace the city field.

If a later extract moves Orlando’s pair, the live hub is the authority. This guide is a snapshot. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Orlando receipt is the story. Unitemized gifts and Florida state filings remain outside $76,048,272 and 242,758.

Citing ORLANDO, FL

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $76,048,272 with 242,758 together. Dropping the line count hides Orlando’s volume relative to Boca Raton’s thinner file on similar dollars.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Orlando receipt matters.

Orlando’s $76,048,272 on 242,758 lines, mean near $313, is the volume contrast to Boca Raton’s thinner file on similar dollars. Keep 242,758 in the citation or that contrast disappears.

Kissimmee and Winter Park remain the neighboring strings readers most often want to merge. This packet does not merge them. $76,048,272 is ORLANDO only.

What an Orlando reader should carry

Carry FEC.gov, contributor city ORLANDO, FL, $76,048,272, and 242,758 lines. The mean near $313 is optional arithmetic. It is not a typical household gift and not a unique-donor average.

Kissimmee, Winter Park, Sanford, Tampa, and Miami stay off this page unless the filer typed ORLANDO. Florida state-office receipts stay off this page. Unitemized federal gifts stay off this page.

Orange County is orientation, not an FEC dimension. A high line count can include repeat givers. 242,758 is not a unique-donor census. $76,048,272 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both.

The live Orlando hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. If they disagree, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Orlando receipt matters. ZIP pages split a different field.

Orlando’s 242,758 lines behind $76,048,272, mean near $313, are the volume half of a Florida pair with Boca Raton. Similar dollars, different line counts. Keep both facts or the comparison is a slogan.

Tourism-economy language does not belong on this page. FEC.gov stored a city field, not an industry. Occupation lives on other fields. $76,048,272 is the city-string sum. 242,758 is the city-string line count.

Kissimmee, Winter Park, and Sanford stay on their own hubs. Orange County is orientation. Florida state-office receipts and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. The Orlando hub is the live table. If it disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub and open FEC.gov.

Questions

What is Orlando’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city ORLANDO, FL total $76,048,272 across 242,758 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Orlando residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Orlando’s 242,758 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 242,758 itemized lines for ORLANDO, FL. 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 $76,048,272. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 242,758 should not be quoted as an Orlando population of donors.

Does Orlando’s total include Winter Park or Kissimmee?

Only if the filer typed ORLANDO. Winter Park, Kissimmee, and Sanford are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $76,048,272 is the ORLANDO, FL match. The 242,758 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub. Central Florida is a research phrase, not an FEC dimension on this Orlando hub.

Where do the Orlando facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $76,048,272 and 242,758 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Florida non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $313 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
