SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH: $22.2M on 54,428 FEC receipts

54,428 lines carrying $22,211,203

The headline pair is $22,211,203 and 54,428 lines. The implied average is about $408. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the SHAKER HEIGHTS book. Cuyahoga County filers typed SHAKER HEIGHTS with state OH.

Shaker Heights is an inner-ring Cuyahoga suburb stored as SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH. Cleveland is a different city string. Cleveland Heights and University Heights are neighboring keys that this packet does not add in. 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 $22,211,203 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of SHAKER HEIGHTS gave. The 54,428 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints SHAKER HEIGHTS together with Cleveland Heights, University Heights, and Cleveland, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $22,211,203 on 54,428 SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH rows, mean near $408. Keep the stored spelling SHAKER HEIGHTS in the citation.

Why SHAKER HEIGHTS on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Shaker Heights give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH total $22,211,203 across 54,428 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. No. SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH is the stored city field. Cleveland is a different key when filers typed it.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $22,211,203. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $408 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Outside the SHAKER HEIGHTS itemized book

$22,211,203 is not spending by SHAKER HEIGHTS candidates. A candidate who lives in SHAKER HEIGHTS can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH can go to a committee anywhere. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside both packet facts.

Postal confusion with Cleveland Heights, University Heights, and Cleveland is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $22,211,203 counts rows that stored SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH. 54,428 lines. About $408 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs. OH state-office receipts are omitted.

SHAKER HEIGHTS versus Cleveland on the FEC tape

SHAKER HEIGHTS is an inner-ring Cleveland-suburb book. 54,428 lines produce $22,211,203, a mean near $408. That line count is not a unique-donor count. Comparing this mean to Cleveland is only valid on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts.

A SHAKER HEIGHTS total of $22,211,203 does not absorb Cleveland Heights, University Heights, and Cleveland. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State OH stays on the citation so SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Mixing in OH state-campaign data breaks the comparison.

City total versus postal codes in OH

54,428 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 SHAKER HEIGHTS 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 SHAKER HEIGHTS 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: $22,211,203 and 54,428.

Source tables for $22,211,203

A mean of about $408 is division of $22,211,203 by 54,428. It is fair to report as arithmetic. It is not fair to report as a typical resident of SHAKER HEIGHTS. Means move with a few large lines. Internal links on this page go only to the SHAKER HEIGHTS city hub, the all-cities directory, and the ZIP directory.

SHAKER HEIGHTS’s $22,211,203 across 54,428 contributions is a Cuyahoga County city field, mean near $408. Cleveland Heights is a neighboring string, not a subset. Cuyahoga County is not summed here. Repeat gifts add rows. Cite $22,211,203 with 54,428 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 SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH total $22,211,203 across 54,428 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 Shaker Heights. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $408 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is Shaker Heights merged with Cleveland on FEC reports?

No. SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH is the stored city field. Cleveland is a different key when filers typed it. LobbyVault counts 54,428 itemized contributions for SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH against $22,211,203. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 54,428 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Shaker Heights total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed SHAKER HEIGHTS with state OH. Office addresses and mail that list Shaker Heights can be part of $22,211,203 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 54,428-line count follows the same rule.

Are Shaker Heights numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $22,211,203 and 54,428 lines for SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from OH are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
