BRONX, NY: $33.4M on 150,064 FEC receipts

A borough stored as a city string

One hundred fifty thousand sixty-four lines produce $33,415,616. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $223. That is a high-volume, low-mean shape. Brooklyn is a separate New York city string with its own hub. Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island are other borough labels when filers typed them that way. None of them sit inside $33,415,616 unless the filer typed BRONX.

The Bronx as a county and the Bronx as an FEC city field are not the same product. This page matches the typed city BRONX plus NY.

Not a five-borough recode

Adding Brooklyn or Manhattan to the Bronx would mix keys. This packet publishes BRONX, NY only: $33,415,616 and 150,064 lines.

Household streets and office addresses can share the city field. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 150,064 lines are receipts, not unique persons. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

City field versus ZIP pages

Filers type a city. FEC.gov stores that string. ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing Bronx ZIPs will not automatically equal $33,415,616 if some receipts used NEW YORK or another label.

The 150,064-line count follows the city field, not the postal map and not an employer field. A high line count can include repeat givers. 150,064 is not a unique-donor census.

What this table omits

New York state and city campaigns file under state and local law. Those receipts sit outside $33,415,616 and outside 150,064. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing BRONX, NY

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $33,415,616 with 150,064 together. Dropping the line count hides a mean near $223 and the thickest book in this dollar band.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Bronx receipt matters. Brooklyn remains a different hub.

How researchers should use the Bronx hub

Start on the live Bronx city page. $33,415,616 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 150,064 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers NEW YORK as the “real” city for a Bronx street.

A mean near $223 is only $33,415,616 divided by 150,064. It is not a typical household gift. Party is not in the packet. If a later extract on the live hub prints a different pair, discard this snapshot. Original filings remain on FEC.gov.

Carry FEC.gov, contributor city BRONX, NY, $33,415,616, and 150,064 lines. The mean near $223 is optional arithmetic from a high line count. It is not a typical household gift. Brooklyn stays off this page unless the filer typed BRONX. Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island stay off this page unless the filer typed BRONX. New York state and city non-federal receipts stay off this page. Unitemized federal gifts stay off this page. Borough-as-county language is orientation, not a roll-up. A high line count can include repeat givers. 150,064 is not a unique-donor census. $33,415,616 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both. The live Bronx hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. If they disagree, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Bronx receipt matters. ZIP pages split a different field. Occupation lives on other FEC fields.

The Bronx pair is $33,415,616 and 150,064 lines. Print both. Brooklyn stays on its own hub. Five-borough language does not replace the city field. The live table on the Bronx FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. New York non-federal filings never enter either fact. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations never enter either fact. Cite contributor city BRONX, NY, the dollar total, the line count, and FEC.gov in one sentence. If a later extract moves the pair, discard this snapshot. Do not recode BRONX into NEW YORK. Filers who typed NEW YORK created a different city string. Match the string on the receipt.

Questions

What is the Bronx’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city BRONX, NY total $33,415,616 across 150,064 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Bronx residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read the Bronx’s 150,064 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 150,064 itemized lines for BRONX, NY. 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 $33,415,616.

Does the Bronx total include Brooklyn or Manhattan?

Only if the filer typed BRONX. Brooklyn and other borough strings are separate city hubs when they appear that way on the receipt. $33,415,616 is the BRONX, NY match. The 150,064 lines follow the same rule. Five-borough labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Bronx facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $33,415,616 and 150,064 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. New York non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
