CHESTERFIELD, MO: $22.3M on 84,195 FEC receipts

84,195 lines behind CHESTERFIELD's $22.3M

CHESTERFIELD shows 84,195 itemizations behind $22,325,629. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. A file this long at $22.3M is a high-volume city field: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. The implied mean is about $265.

Chesterfield is a west St. Louis County suburb. The city of St. Louis is a different FEC city key, including the ST LOUIS and ST. LOUIS spelling variants. Ballwin and Wildwood are neighboring county strings, not subsets of CHESTERFIELD. 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 $22,325,629 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of CHESTERFIELD gave. The 84,195 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints CHESTERFIELD together with Ballwin, Wildwood, and the city of St. Louis, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $22,325,629 on 84,195 CHESTERFIELD, MO rows, mean near $265. Keep the stored spelling CHESTERFIELD in the citation.

Why CHESTERFIELD on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Chesterfield give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city CHESTERFIELD, MO total $22,325,629 across 84,195 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. Not on this extract. CHESTERFIELD, MO is the stored suburban string. St. Louis city spellings are other keys.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $22,325,629. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $265 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Outside the CHESTERFIELD itemized book

$22,325,629 is not spending by CHESTERFIELD candidates. A candidate who lives in CHESTERFIELD can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged CHESTERFIELD, MO can go to a committee anywhere. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside both packet facts.

Postal confusion with Ballwin, Wildwood, and the city of St. Louis is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $22,325,629 counts rows that stored CHESTERFIELD, MO. 84,195 lines. About $265 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs. MO state-office receipts are omitted.

CHESTERFIELD versus St. Louis on the FEC tape

CHESTERFIELD is a west-county volume book. 84,195 lines produce $22,325,629, a mean near $265. That line count is not a unique-donor count. Comparing this mean to St. Louis is only valid on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts.

A CHESTERFIELD total of $22,325,629 does not absorb Ballwin, Wildwood, and the city of St. Louis. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State MO stays on the citation so CHESTERFIELD, MO is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Mixing in MO state-campaign data breaks the comparison.

City total versus postal codes in MO

84,195 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 CHESTERFIELD 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 CHESTERFIELD 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: $22,325,629 and 84,195.

Source tables for $22,325,629

A mean of about $265 is division of $22,325,629 by 84,195. It is fair to report as arithmetic. It is not fair to report as a typical resident of CHESTERFIELD. Means move with a few large lines. Internal links on this page go only to the CHESTERFIELD city hub, the all-cities directory, and the ZIP directory.

CHESTERFIELD’s $22,325,629 across 84,195 contributions is a St. Louis County city field, mean near $265. Ballwin is a neighboring string, not a subset. St. Louis County is not summed here. Repeat gifts add rows. Cite $22,325,629 with 84,195 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 CHESTERFIELD, MO?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city CHESTERFIELD, MO total $22,325,629 across 84,195 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 Chesterfield. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $265 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is Chesterfield included in the St. Louis city total?

Not on this extract. CHESTERFIELD, MO is the stored suburban string. St. Louis city spellings are other keys. LobbyVault counts 84,195 itemized contributions for CHESTERFIELD, MO against $22,325,629. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 84,195 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Chesterfield total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed CHESTERFIELD with state MO. Office addresses and mail that list Chesterfield can be part of $22,325,629 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 84,195-line count follows the same rule.

Are Chesterfield numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $22,325,629 and 84,195 lines for CHESTERFIELD, MO. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from MO are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
