MILTON, MA: $18.1M on 34,346 FEC receipts

34,346 lines carrying $18,116,185

The headline pair is $18,116,185 and 34,346 lines. The implied average is about $527. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the MILTON book. Norfolk County filers typed MILTON with state MA.

MILTON, MA is a Norfolk town string south of Boston. Dorchester rows that list BOSTON sit on another hub. Quincy and Canton are neighboring keys. Milton in other states are other city-and-state pairs. 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 $18,116,185 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of MILTON gave. The 34,346 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints MILTON together with Quincy, Canton, and Dorchester, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $18,116,185 on 34,346 MILTON, MA rows, mean near $527. Keep the stored spelling MILTON in the citation.

Why MILTON on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Milton give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city MILTON, MA total $18,116,185 across 34,346 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. No. MILTON, MA is the stored Norfolk string. Boston is a different city key. Quincy is a neighboring string when typed.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $18,116,185. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $527 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

What $18,116,185 does not cover

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $18,116,185 or the 34,346-line count. MA state-office filings are also omitted. A candidate based in MILTON can raise from other cities; a MILTON, MA row can travel to a committee in any state.

Quincy, Canton, and Dorchester share a map with MILTON and still need their own hubs. The 34,346 lines stored as MILTON, MA are the only rows in this extract. About $527 each is division, not a household typical.

Same-name cities and the MA key

State MA is part of the match. MILTON, MA is not merged with a same-named place in another state. MILTON is a Norfolk mid-volume book; 34,346 lines produce $18,116,185, mean near $527.

Boston is a comparison only on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts. Quincy, Canton, and Dorchester are other strings when typed. Mixing MA state-campaign data with $18,116,185 breaks the comparison.

How 34,346 lines sit next to ZIP pages

The city field and the ZIP field are independent FEC columns. 34,346 MILTON rows may cluster in a few codes or scatter. This packet lists neither those ZIPs nor a split. Use the ZIP directory and the live MILTON hub.

Amendments can move the city hub and a ZIP page on different clocks. Recheck both before publishing a comparison. This guide’s facts remain $18,116,185 and 34,346 for contributor city MILTON, MA.

Citing MILTON, MA from FEC.gov

Report $18,116,185 with 34,346 lines and name FEC.gov as the source, indexed on LobbyVault. The mean near $527 is $18,116,185 divided by 34,346. Do not call that a typical MILTON resident.

Links on this page go to the MILTON hub, the all-cities directory, and the ZIP directory. Quincy is a neighbor, not a subset. Norfolk County is not totaled here. If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, the newer FEC extract controls.

Researchers citing MILTON should keep state MA 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 $18,116,185 or 34,346 without this guide rewriting itself. Treat the mean near $527 as division only. Quincy, Canton, and Dorchester remain other strings. The 34,346-line count still is not a headcount.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city MILTON, MA?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city MILTON, MA total $18,116,185 across 34,346 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 Milton. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $527 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is Milton counted as Boston on this extract?

No. MILTON, MA is the stored Norfolk string. Boston is a different city key. Quincy is a neighboring string when typed. LobbyVault counts 34,346 itemized contributions for MILTON, MA against $18,116,185. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 34,346 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Milton total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed MILTON with state MA. Office addresses and mail that list Milton can be part of $18,116,185 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 34,346-line count follows the same rule.

Are Milton numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $18,116,185 and 34,346 lines for MILTON, MA. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from MA are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
