HAVERFORD, PA: $21.0M on 30,141 FEC receipts

30,141 lines carrying $21,040,655

HAVERFORD shows 30,141 itemizations behind $21,040,655. 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 $698. Committee receipts that list a HAVERFORD address still sit in the same column as individual rows.

Haverford is a Main Line string with a higher mean: 30,141 lines against $21.0 million, about $698 each. Bryn Mawr and Villanova are neighboring keys. Philadelphia is a different city field. 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 $21,040,655 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of HAVERFORD gave. The 30,141 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints HAVERFORD together with Ardmore, Bryn Mawr, and Villanova, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $21,040,655 on 30,141 HAVERFORD, PA rows, mean near $698. Keep the stored spelling HAVERFORD in the citation.

Why HAVERFORD on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Haverford give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city HAVERFORD, PA total $21,040,655 across 30,141 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. Thirty thousand one hundred forty-one lines against $21,040,655 produce that mean. A thinner Main Line stack can be moved by large receipts.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $21,040,655. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $698 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Outside the HAVERFORD itemized book

$21,040,655 is not spending by HAVERFORD candidates. A candidate who lives in HAVERFORD can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged HAVERFORD, PA can go to a committee anywhere. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside both packet facts.

Postal confusion with Ardmore, Bryn Mawr, and Villanova is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $21,040,655 counts rows that stored HAVERFORD, PA. 30,141 lines. About $698 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs. PA state-office receipts are omitted.

HAVERFORD versus Philadelphia on the FEC tape

HAVERFORD is a Main Line higher-mean book. 30,141 lines produce $21,040,655, a mean near $698. That line count is not a unique-donor count. Comparing this mean to Philadelphia is only valid on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts.

A HAVERFORD total of $21,040,655 does not absorb Ardmore, Bryn Mawr, and Villanova. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State PA stays on the citation so HAVERFORD, PA is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Mixing in PA state-campaign data breaks the comparison.

City total versus postal codes in PA

30,141 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 HAVERFORD 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 HAVERFORD 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: $21,040,655 and 30,141.

Source tables for $21,040,655

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city HAVERFORD, PA?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city HAVERFORD, PA total $21,040,655 across 30,141 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 Haverford. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $698 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Why is Haverford’s average line near $698?

Thirty thousand one hundred forty-one lines against $21,040,655 produce that mean. A thinner Main Line stack can be moved by large receipts. LobbyVault counts 30,141 itemized contributions for HAVERFORD, PA against $21,040,655. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 30,141 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Haverford total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed HAVERFORD with state PA. Office addresses and mail that list Haverford can be part of $21,040,655 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 30,141-line count follows the same rule.

Are Haverford numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $21,040,655 and 30,141 lines for HAVERFORD, PA. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from PA are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
