RIDGEWOOD, NJ: $19.5M on 42,565 FEC receipts
FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city RIDGEWOOD, NJ sum to $19.5M across 42,565 contributions. Ridgewood is a Bergen mid-volume book in Bergen County in northern New Jersey: 42,565 lines against $19.5M produces a mean near $458 from those two packet facts. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census and not a party score. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Key figures
- $19,482,152 and 42,565 lines are the RIDGEWOOD, NJ packet facts.
- Mean near $458 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
- Ridgewood is not New York City on the FEC city key.
- If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.
42,565 lines carrying $19,482,152
The headline pair is $19,482,152 and 42,565 lines. The implied average is about $458. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the RIDGEWOOD book. Bergen County filers typed RIDGEWOOD with state NJ.
Ridgewood is a Bergen County village string. Glen Rock and Paramus are neighboring keys, not subsets. New York City rows sit under NY, not under RIDGEWOOD, NJ. 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 $19,482,152 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of RIDGEWOOD gave. The 42,565 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.
If a newsroom map paints RIDGEWOOD together with Glen Rock, Ho-Ho-Kus, and Paramus, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $19,482,152 on 42,565 RIDGEWOOD, NJ rows, mean near $458. Keep the stored spelling RIDGEWOOD in the citation.
Why RIDGEWOOD on the receipt is not a census
Searchers often want “how much did people in Ridgewood give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city RIDGEWOOD, NJ total $19,482,152 across 42,565 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. No. New York City is a different state-and-city key. Glen Rock and Paramus are separate Bergen strings.
Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $19,482,152. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $458 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.
What $19,482,152 does not cover
Unitemized federal gifts never enter $19,482,152 or the 42,565-line count. NJ state-office filings are also omitted. A candidate based in RIDGEWOOD can raise from other cities; a RIDGEWOOD, NJ row can travel to a committee in any state.
Glen Rock, Ho-Ho-Kus, and Paramus share a map with RIDGEWOOD and still need their own hubs. The 42,565 lines stored as RIDGEWOOD, NJ are the only rows in this extract. About $458 each is division, not a household typical.
Same-name cities and the NJ key
State NJ is part of the match. RIDGEWOOD, NJ is not merged with a same-named place in another state. RIDGEWOOD is a Bergen mid-volume book; 42,565 lines produce $19,482,152, mean near $458.
New York City is a comparison only on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts. Glen Rock, Ho-Ho-Kus, and Paramus are other strings when typed. Mixing NJ state-campaign data with $19,482,152 breaks the comparison.
How 42,565 lines sit next to ZIP pages
The city field and the ZIP field are independent FEC columns. 42,565 RIDGEWOOD 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 RIDGEWOOD 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 $19,482,152 and 42,565 for contributor city RIDGEWOOD, NJ.
Citing RIDGEWOOD, NJ from FEC.gov
Report $19,482,152 with 42,565 lines and name FEC.gov as the source, indexed on LobbyVault. The mean near $458 is $19,482,152 divided by 42,565. Do not call that a typical RIDGEWOOD resident.
Links on this page go to the RIDGEWOOD hub, the all-cities directory, and the ZIP directory. Glen Rock is a neighbor, not a subset. Bergen County is not totaled here. If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, the newer FEC extract controls.
Researchers citing RIDGEWOOD should keep state NJ 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 $19,482,152 or 42,565 without this guide rewriting itself. Treat the mean near $458 as division only. Glen Rock, Ho-Ho-Kus, and Paramus remain other strings. The 42,565-line count still is not a headcount.
Questions
- How much is itemized from contributor city RIDGEWOOD, NJ?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city RIDGEWOOD, NJ total $19,482,152 across 42,565 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 Ridgewood. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $458 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
- Does Ridgewood’s total include New York City donors?
- No. New York City is a different state-and-city key. Glen Rock and Paramus are separate Bergen strings. LobbyVault counts 42,565 itemized contributions for RIDGEWOOD, NJ against $19,482,152. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 42,565 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
- Does the Ridgewood total include only residents?
- No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed RIDGEWOOD with state NJ. Office addresses and mail that list Ridgewood can be part of $19,482,152 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 42,565-line count follows the same rule.
- Are Ridgewood numbers from FEC.gov?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $19,482,152 and 42,565 lines for RIDGEWOOD, NJ. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from NJ are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
