VILLANOVA, PA: $19.8M on 36,854 FEC receipts

36,854 lines carrying $19,805,772

The headline pair is $19,805,772 and 36,854 lines. The implied average is about $537. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the VILLANOVA book. Delaware County filers typed VILLANOVA with state PA.

Villanova is a Main Line string with a mid-to-high mean: 36,854 lines against $19.8 million, about $537 each. Haverford and Bryn Mawr 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 $19,805,772 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of VILLANOVA gave. The 36,854 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints VILLANOVA together with Bryn Mawr, Radnor, and Haverford, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $19,805,772 on 36,854 VILLANOVA, PA rows, mean near $537. Keep the stored spelling VILLANOVA in the citation.

Why VILLANOVA on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Villanova give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city VILLANOVA, PA total $19,805,772 across 36,854 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. No. VILLANOVA, PA is a Delaware County Main Line string. Philadelphia spellings are other keys.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $19,805,772. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $537 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Outside the VILLANOVA itemized book

$19,805,772 is not spending by VILLANOVA candidates. A candidate who lives in VILLANOVA can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged VILLANOVA, PA can go to a committee anywhere. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside both packet facts.

Postal confusion with Bryn Mawr, Radnor, and Haverford is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $19,805,772 counts rows that stored VILLANOVA, PA. 36,854 lines. About $537 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs. PA state-office receipts are omitted.

VILLANOVA versus Philadelphia on the FEC tape

VILLANOVA is a Main Line mid-volume book. 36,854 lines produce $19,805,772, a mean near $537. 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 VILLANOVA total of $19,805,772 does not absorb Bryn Mawr, Radnor, and Haverford. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State PA stays on the citation so VILLANOVA, 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

36,854 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 VILLANOVA 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 VILLANOVA 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: $19,805,772 and 36,854.

Source tables for $19,805,772

A mean of about $537 is division of $19,805,772 by 36,854. It is fair to report as arithmetic. It is not fair to report as a typical resident of VILLANOVA. Means move with a few large lines. Internal links on this page go only to the VILLANOVA city hub, the all-cities directory, and the ZIP directory.

VILLANOVA’s $19,805,772 across 36,854 contributions is a Delaware County city field, mean near $537. Bryn Mawr is a neighboring string, not a subset. Delaware County is not summed here.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city VILLANOVA, PA?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city VILLANOVA, PA total $19,805,772 across 36,854 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 Villanova. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $537 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is Villanova counted inside Philadelphia on this extract?

No. VILLANOVA, PA is a Delaware County Main Line string. Philadelphia spellings are other keys. LobbyVault counts 36,854 itemized contributions for VILLANOVA, PA against $19,805,772. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 36,854 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Villanova total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed VILLANOVA with state PA. Office addresses and mail that list Villanova can be part of $19,805,772 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 36,854-line count follows the same rule.

Are Villanova numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $19,805,772 and 36,854 lines for VILLANOVA, 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.
