NORTHBROOK, IL: $32.7M on 79,563 FEC receipts

Northbrook’s dollars and line count

Seventy-nine thousand five hundred sixty-three lines produce $32,678,132. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $411. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. FEC.gov does not publish a median on this city aggregate.

Glenview, Winnetka, and Highland Park keep separate Illinois hubs. They are not inside $32,678,132 unless the filer typed NORTHBROOK. Cook County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

One village string, not the North Shore

North Shore is a regional label. FEC.gov stores a city field. This packet publishes NORTHBROOK, IL only: $32,678,132 and 79,563 lines. Adding Winnetka or Glenview would be a recode.

State IL on the key is required in the citation. Recheck both facts on the live hub if a later extract lands.

City field versus postal codes

FEC.gov stores whatever city appeared on the itemized receipt. NORTHBROOK plus IL is the match. Recoding into a Census place or a Chicago metro label is a different dataset.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing North Shore ZIPs can diverge from $32,678,132 when some receipts used Glenview or Deerfield as the city. The 79,563-line count follows the city field.

Limits of the Northbrook aggregate

Illinois state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $32,678,132 and outside 79,563. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing NORTHBROOK, IL

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $32,678,132 with 79,563 together. Dropping the line count hides volume on a low-thirty-million dollar book.

Office addresses can share the Northbrook city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 79,563 lines are receipts, not unique persons. If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Northbrook receipt matters.

How researchers should use the Northbrook hub

Start on the live Northbrook city page, then open ZIP pages if a postal cut is the real question. $32,678,132 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 79,563 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Glenview as the “real” suburb. Filers typed NORTHBROOK. LobbyVault indexed NORTHBROOK.

A mean near $411 is only $32,678,132 divided by 79,563. It is not a typical Northbrook household gift. Occupation, recipient, and party are different FEC fields. None of those fields are in this packet. Cite the pair: contributor city NORTHBROOK, IL, $32,678,132, 79,563 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Illinois non-federal filings never enter either fact.

Deerfield, Glenview, and Northfield sit on neighboring streets. Filers who typed those names never enter $32,678,132. The 79,563 lines are NORTHBROOK only. A North Shore merge is a recode. Cook County is not an FEC field on this hub. The mean near $411 is $32,678,132 divided by 79,563, nothing more.

If a later extract disagrees, trust the live hub. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Illinois non-federal filings, unitemized federal gifts, and independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations stay outside both facts. Cite contributor city NORTHBROOK, IL with the dollar total and the line count together every time.

Northbrook queries often arrive as North Shore queries. Answer with the city string. $32,678,132 and 79,563 belong to NORTHBROOK, IL. Glenview and Winnetka have their own pages. The mean near $411 is a quotient, not a lifestyle claim. Repeat gifts can inflate the line count. Memo entries can inflate the line count. Unique donors are unpublished here. Cite FEC.gov and stop at the two packet facts.

Keep NORTHBROOK, IL, $32,678,132, and 79,563 in one citation. Dropping any of the three hides either the dollars or the volume. The mean near $411 is only those two numbers divided. Glenview remains a separate string. Winnetka remains a separate string. Cook County remains a map. Illinois non-federal filings remain outside. Unitemized federal gifts remain outside. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations remain outside. Start on the live city page. Open ZIP pages if the postal cut is the real question. Open FEC.gov if a named Northbrook receipt must be checked against the original filing.

Questions

What is Northbrook’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city NORTHBROOK, IL total $32,678,132 across 79,563 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Northbrook residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Northbrook’s 79,563 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 79,563 itemized lines for NORTHBROOK, IL. 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 $32,678,132.

Does Northbrook’s total include Glenview or Winnetka?

Only if the filer typed NORTHBROOK. Glenview, Winnetka, and Highland Park are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $32,678,132 is the NORTHBROOK, IL match. The 79,563 lines follow the same rule. North Shore is not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Northbrook facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $32,678,132 and 79,563 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 $411 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
