RHINEBECK, NY: $20.1M on 12,016 FEC receipts

12,016 lines carrying $20,109,842

RHINEBECK shows 12,016 itemizations behind $20,109,842. That mix is a thinner stack with a high average line relative to volume books that post similar dollars on 70,000-plus rows. The implied mean is about $1,674. Committee receipts that list a RHINEBECK address still sit in the same column as individual rows.

Rhinebeck is a short Hudson Valley file: 12,016 lines against $20.1 million, a mean near $1,674. That mix is a high average line. Poughkeepsie and Kingston are neighboring strings, not subsets. 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 $20,109,842 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of RHINEBECK gave. The 12,016 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints RHINEBECK together with Red Hook, Kingston, and Poughkeepsie, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $20,109,842 on 12,016 RHINEBECK, NY rows, mean near $1,674. Keep the stored spelling RHINEBECK in the citation.

Why RHINEBECK on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Rhinebeck give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city RHINEBECK, NY total $20,109,842 across 12,016 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. Twelve thousand sixteen lines against $20,109,842 produce that mean. A file this short at this dollar scale can be dominated by large receipts.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $20,109,842. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $1,674 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Outside the RHINEBECK itemized book

$20,109,842 is not spending by RHINEBECK candidates. A candidate who lives in RHINEBECK can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged RHINEBECK, NY can go to a committee anywhere. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside both packet facts.

Postal confusion with Red Hook, Kingston, and Poughkeepsie is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $20,109,842 counts rows that stored RHINEBECK, NY. 12,016 lines. About $1,674 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs. NY state-office receipts are omitted.

RHINEBECK versus Poughkeepsie on the FEC tape

RHINEBECK is a thin high-mean Dutchess County book. 12,016 lines produce $20,109,842, a mean near $1,674. That line count is not a unique-donor count. Comparing this mean to Poughkeepsie is only valid on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts.

A RHINEBECK total of $20,109,842 does not absorb Red Hook, Kingston, and Poughkeepsie. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State NY stays on the citation so RHINEBECK, NY is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Mixing in NY state-campaign data breaks the comparison.

City total versus postal codes in NY

12,016 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 RHINEBECK 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 RHINEBECK 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: $20,109,842 and 12,016.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city RHINEBECK, NY?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city RHINEBECK, NY total $20,109,842 across 12,016 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 Rhinebeck. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $1,674 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Why is Rhinebeck’s average line near $1,674?

Twelve thousand sixteen lines against $20,109,842 produce that mean. A file this short at this dollar scale can be dominated by large receipts. LobbyVault counts 12,016 itemized contributions for RHINEBECK, NY against $20,109,842. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 12,016 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Rhinebeck total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed RHINEBECK with state NY. Office addresses and mail that list Rhinebeck can be part of $20,109,842 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 12,016-line count follows the same rule.

Are Rhinebeck numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $20,109,842 and 12,016 lines for RHINEBECK, NY. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from NY are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
