PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL: $18.2M on 51,103 FEC receipts

51,103 lines carrying $18,226,170

The headline pair is $18,226,170 and 51,103 lines. The implied average is about $357. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the PALM BEACH GARDENS book. Palm Beach County filers typed PALM BEACH GARDENS with state FL.

PALM BEACH GARDENS is the three-word mainland string as stored. PALM BEACH without GARDENS is a different key. Jupiter and North Palm Beach are neighboring names, not subsets of this $18.2M book. 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 $18,226,170 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of PALM BEACH GARDENS gave. The 51,103 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints PALM BEACH GARDENS together with Palm Beach, Jupiter, and North Palm Beach, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $18,226,170 on 51,103 PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL rows, mean near $357. Keep the stored spelling PALM BEACH GARDENS in the citation.

Why PALM BEACH GARDENS on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Palm Beach Gardens give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL total $18,226,170 across 51,103 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. No. Keep the PALM BEACH GARDENS spelling. PALM BEACH is a separate city string when filers typed it.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $18,226,170. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $357 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

PALM BEACH GARDENS receipts versus local campaigns

A PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL tag records the contributor city on a federal itemization. It does not record where a PALM BEACH GARDENS candidate spent money. $18,226,170 can leave town. Unitemized federal gifts and FL state-office receipts sit outside the 51,103 lines.

Mail and office addresses that store PALM BEACH GARDENS still count. That is why Palm Beach, Jupiter, and North Palm Beach should not be treated as the same book. About $357 per line is arithmetic on $18,226,170 and 51,103.

Reading PALM BEACH GARDENS against Miami

Place PALM BEACH GARDENS next to Miami only if both figures are contributor-city itemized federal receipts. A northern palm beach mid-volume book: 51,103 lines, $18,226,170, mean near $357.

Palm Beach, Jupiter, and North Palm Beach remain other keys. Keep state FL so PALM BEACH GARDENS, 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 PALM BEACH GARDENS

Do not back into a PALM BEACH GARDENS story from a ZIP you assume belongs there. This packet does not publish those codes. 51,103 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 $18,226,170 and 51,103 from FEC.gov for the city field PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL.

Packet facts for PALM BEACH GARDENS

$18,226,170 divided by 51,103 is about $357. 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.

Palm Beach is next door on a map and separate on the tape. Cite $18,226,170 with 51,103 from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. If the live PALM BEACH GARDENS hub disagrees with this snapshot, the newer FEC extract controls.

Researchers citing PALM BEACH GARDENS 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 $18,226,170 or 51,103 without this guide rewriting itself. Treat the mean near $357 as division only. Palm Beach, Jupiter, and North Palm Beach remain other strings. The 51,103-line count still is not a headcount.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL total $18,226,170 across 51,103 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate.

The mean near $357 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is Palm Beach Gardens the same FEC key as Palm Beach?

No. Keep the PALM BEACH GARDENS spelling. PALM BEACH is a separate city string when filers typed it. LobbyVault counts 51,103 itemized contributions for PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL against $18,226,170. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 51,103 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Palm Beach Gardens total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed PALM BEACH GARDENS with state FL. Office addresses and mail that list Palm Beach Gardens can be part of $18,226,170 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 51,103-line count follows the same rule.

Are Palm Beach Gardens numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $18,226,170 and 51,103 lines for PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
