EVANSTON, IL: $57.6M on 164,549 FEC receipts

Evanston beside Chicago, not inside Chicago

Divide $57,567,344 by 164,549 and the average itemized line is about $350. Winnetka, on nearby dollars, carries fewer lines. Evanston is the thicker of those two North Shore-adjacent books.

Chicago, Winnetka, and Lake Bluff are other Illinois city hubs on this extract. Skokie and Wilmette are other strings. They are not inside $57,567,344 unless the filer typed EVANSTON.

Office addresses can share the Evanston city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 164,549 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Not a Chicago subtotal and not a campus roll-up

FEC.gov stored a city string, not an employer. Recoding Evanston into a campus map would be a different product. Adding Evanston to Chicago is also a recode this packet does not publish.

Keep EVANSTON, IL as the citation. Recheck $57,567,344 and 164,549 on the live hub after a later extract.

City field versus ZIP pages

Filers type a city. The Commission stores that string. ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. North Shore ZIPs often straddle city labels. Do not expect ZIP sums to equal $57,567,344.

The 164,549-line count follows the city field, not the postal map and not an employer field.

What this table omits

Illinois state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $57,567,344 and outside 164,549. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

An Evanston citation that names FEC.gov and prints $57,567,344 without 164,549 hides a mid-volume book beside Chicago, mean near $350, and invites a campus slogan. Chicago and Winnetka remain other hubs. Occupation lives on other FEC fields.

If a later extract moves Evanston’s pair, the live hub is the authority. This guide is a snapshot. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Evanston receipt is the story. Unitemized gifts and Illinois state filings remain outside $57,567,344 and 164,549.

Citing EVANSTON, IL

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

Evanston’s $57,567,344 on 164,549 lines, mean near $350, is a thicker file than Winnetka on similar dollars. Keep 164,549 in the citation.

Chicago remains the neighboring hub readers most often want to fold in. A campus is not an FEC city dimension. This page matches EVANSTON plus IL.

What an Evanston reader should carry

Carry FEC.gov, contributor city EVANSTON, IL, $57,567,344, and 164,549 lines. The mean near $350 is optional arithmetic. It is not a typical gift from a student, a faculty member, or a household.

Chicago, Winnetka, Lake Bluff, Skokie, and Wilmette stay off this page unless the filer typed EVANSTON. Illinois state-office receipts stay off this page. Unitemized federal gifts stay off this page.

A campus recode would be a different product. Adding Evanston to Chicago would also be a recode. This packet publishes neither. Quote $57,567,344 with 164,549 together.

The live Evanston hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. If they disagree, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Evanston receipt matters. ZIP pages split a different field. North Shore ZIPs often straddle city labels.

Evanston’s 164,549 lines behind $57,567,344, mean near $350, sit north of Chicago as a separate city string. Campus language does not convert the city field into an employer census.

Chicago, Winnetka, Skokie, and Wilmette are neighboring hubs and strings. North Shore is a research phrase. $57,567,344 is EVANSTON only.

Illinois state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. North Shore ZIPs often straddle city labels. The Evanston hub holds the live table. Occupation lives on other FEC fields. Open FEC.gov for named receipts. Quote $57,567,344 with 164,549.

Evanston’s pair is $57,567,344 and 164,549 lines. Print both. Chicago stays on its own hub. Campus language does not replace the city field. The live table on the Evanston FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Evanston federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city EVANSTON, IL total $57,567,344 across 164,549 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Evanston residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Is 164,549 the number of Evanston donors?

No. LobbyVault counts 164,549 itemized contribution lines for EVANSTON, IL. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $57,567,344. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 164,549 should not be quoted as an Evanston population of donors.

Does Evanston’s total include Chicago or Winnetka?

No, unless the filer typed EVANSTON. Chicago and Winnetka are separate city hubs. $57,567,344 is the EVANSTON, IL match. The 164,549 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this page. Chicago and Winnetka are separate city hubs; metro labels are not an FEC dimension here.

How current is Evanston’s $57,567,344 figure?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $57,567,344 and 164,549 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Illinois non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $350 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
