PEORIA, IL: $19.0M on 65,181 FEC receipts

65,181 lines carrying $19,041,462

The headline pair is $19,041,462 and 65,181 lines. The implied average is about $292. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the PEORIA book. Peoria County filers typed PEORIA with state IL.

PEORIA, IL is a central-Illinois river city field, not Peoria, Arizona. State IL is required. East Peoria is a different Tazewell string. Chicago rows do not sit inside PEORIA, IL. 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 $19,041,462 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of PEORIA gave. The 65,181 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints PEORIA together with East Peoria, Pekin, and Morton, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $19,041,462 on 65,181 PEORIA, IL rows, mean near $292. Keep the stored spelling PEORIA in the citation.

Why PEORIA on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Peoria give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city PEORIA, IL total $19,041,462 across 65,181 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. This extract is PEORIA with state IL only. Peoria, AZ is a different FEC city key. East Peoria is a neighboring string when typed.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $19,041,462. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $292 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Outside the PEORIA itemized book

$19,041,462 is not spending by PEORIA candidates. A candidate who lives in PEORIA can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged PEORIA, IL can go to a committee anywhere. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside both packet facts.

Postal confusion with East Peoria, Pekin, and Morton is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $19,041,462 counts rows that stored PEORIA, IL. 65,181 lines. About $292 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs. IL state-office receipts are omitted.

PEORIA versus Chicago on the FEC tape

PEORIA is a central-Illinois mid-volume book. 65,181 lines produce $19,041,462, a mean near $292. That line count is not a unique-donor count. Comparing this mean to Chicago is only valid on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts.

A PEORIA total of $19,041,462 does not absorb East Peoria, Pekin, and Morton. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State IL stays on the citation so PEORIA, IL is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Mixing in IL state-campaign data breaks the comparison.

City total versus postal codes in IL

65,181 city-field lines can spread across many ZIPs or cluster in a few. This packet does not list those ZIPs. Open the ZIP directory and the live PEORIA hub rather than guessing the split. After an amendment wave, recheck both the city hub and any ZIP you compared. Snapshots drift independently.

Because this packet carries only city, state, dollar total, and contribution count, every other story about PEORIA politics sits outside the extract. That includes candidate quality, issue fights, and local election results. This guide stays on the two numbers FEC.gov supplied for the city field: $19,041,462 and 65,181.

Source tables for $19,041,462

A mean of about $292 is division of $19,041,462 by 65,181. It is fair to report as arithmetic. It is not fair to report as a typical resident of PEORIA. Means move with a few large lines. Internal links on this page go only to the PEORIA city hub, the all-cities directory, and the ZIP directory.

PEORIA’s $19,041,462 across 65,181 contributions is a Peoria County city field, mean near $292. East Peoria is a neighboring string, not a subset. Peoria County is not summed here. Repeat gifts add rows. Cite $19,041,462 with 65,181 from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, the newer FEC extract controls.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city PEORIA, IL?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city PEORIA, IL total $19,041,462 across 65,181 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 Peoria. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $292 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Which Peoria is this $19.0M total?

This extract is PEORIA with state IL only. Peoria, AZ is a different FEC city key. East Peoria is a neighboring string when typed. LobbyVault counts 65,181 itemized contributions for PEORIA, IL against $19,041,462. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 65,181 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Peoria total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed PEORIA with state IL. Office addresses and mail that list Peoria can be part of $19,041,462 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 65,181-line count follows the same rule.

Are Peoria numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $19,041,462 and 65,181 lines for PEORIA, IL. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from IL are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
