BRYN MAWR, PA: $30.6M on 59,222 FEC receipts

Main Line dollars versus line count

Fifty-nine thousand two hundred twenty-two lines produce $30,561,051. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $516. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a typical household gift. FEC.gov does not publish a median on this city aggregate.

Villanova, Ardmore, and Wayne keep separate Pennsylvania hubs when those strings appear. They are not inside $30,561,051 unless the filer typed BRYN MAWR. Montgomery and Delaware counties are orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

One place name, not the Main Line

Main Line is a regional label. FEC.gov stores a city field. This packet publishes BRYN MAWR, PA only: $30,561,051 and 59,222 lines. Adding Ardmore would be a recode.

State PA on the key is required in the citation. Recheck both facts on the live hub if a later extract lands.

City field versus postal map

FEC.gov stores whatever city appeared on the itemized receipt. BRYN MAWR plus PA is the match. Recoding into a Census place or a Philadelphia metro label is a different dataset.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing Main Line ZIPs can diverge from $30,561,051 when some receipts used Villanova or Haverford as the city. The 59,222-line count follows the city field.

Limits of the Bryn Mawr aggregate

Pennsylvania state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $30,561,051 and outside 59,222. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing BRYN MAWR, PA

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $30,561,051 with 59,222 together. Dropping the line count hides how the $516 mean is produced.

Office addresses can share the Bryn Mawr city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 59,222 lines are receipts, not unique persons. If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Bryn Mawr receipt matters.

How researchers should use the Bryn Mawr hub

Start on the live Bryn Mawr city page, then open ZIP pages if a postal cut is the real question. $30,561,051 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 59,222 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Ardmore as the “real” Main Line. Filers typed BRYN MAWR. LobbyVault indexed BRYN MAWR.

A mean near $516 is only $30,561,051 divided by 59,222. Occupation, recipient, and party are different FEC fields. None of those fields are in this packet. Cite the pair: contributor city BRYN MAWR, PA, $30,561,051, 59,222 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Pennsylvania non-federal filings never enter either fact.

Haverford, Villanova, and Rosemont appear on neighboring receipts. They are outside $30,561,051 unless the filer typed BRYN MAWR. The 59,222 lines follow that string. Main Line is a railroad and news label, not an FEC field. The mean near $516 follows from a smaller line count relative to the dollar book.

Do not infer occupation from that mean. Pennsylvania non-federal filings stay outside. Cite BRYN MAWR, PA with both packet facts. Recheck the live hub. ZIP pages will diverge when filers used a different Main Line place name. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Bryn Mawr’s 59,222 lines on $30,561,051 put the mean near $516. Villanova and Ardmore are not folded in. Main Line is not an FEC field. The mean is not a typical gift. Pennsylvania state filings stay outside. Cite BRYN MAWR, PA with both packet facts and FEC.gov. ZIP pages that mix Main Line place names will diverge from this pair. Trust the live hub.

Keep BRYN MAWR, PA, $30,561,051, and 59,222 in one citation. The mean near $516 is those two numbers divided. Villanova remains a separate string. Ardmore remains a separate string. Main Line remains a regional label. Pennsylvania non-federal filings remain outside. Unitemized federal gifts remain outside. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations remain outside. Start on the live city page. Open ZIP pages for a postal cut. Open FEC.gov for a named Bryn Mawr receipt that needs the original report.

Questions

What is Bryn Mawr’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city BRYN MAWR, PA total $30,561,051 across 59,222 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Bryn Mawr residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

Why is Bryn Mawr’s mean near $516?

Divide $30,561,051 by 59,222 and the arithmetic mean is about $516. The line count is smaller relative to the dollar book than on some high-volume Pennsylvania hubs. That is a shape fact, not a typical gift. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure.

Does Bryn Mawr’s total include Villanova or Ardmore?

Only if the filer typed BRYN MAWR. Villanova, Ardmore, and Wayne are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $30,561,051 is the BRYN MAWR, PA match. The 59,222 lines follow the same rule. Main Line is not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Bryn Mawr facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $30,561,051 and 59,222 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Pennsylvania non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $516 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
