What real-estate-development occupation donors give in federal races

Field label with a $722 mean gift

$10,060,725, 13,937 itemizations, and 1,350 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $722. Mean dollars per donor record are about $7,452. Repeat giving is about 10 itemizations per donor record.

13,937 lines from 1,350 records is a mid-volume field-label stack: fewer schedules than high-repeat realtor keys, a higher per-line mean. The $7,452 per-donor mean is arithmetic, not project profit allocated to politics.

The packet has no residential-versus-commercial split, no license field, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can lift the average.

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT is not REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER

The FEC record does not verify that the donor develops property. Brokers, investors, and construction principals can all type the field phrase. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled vocabulary.

This page cites only $10,060,725, 13,937 contributions, and 1,350 donors. REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER, REAL ESTATE, and BUILDER remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.

Donor records and overlapping property titles

1,350 donor records used REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT on some gifts and REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. LobbyVault does not infer party from the field phrase.

Industry pages already group property employers

Industry pages group employers. REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT as occupation is the donor’s job-field text, not the employer-industry code. Adding $10,060,725 to an industry total double-counts.

Open the REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to place the phrase next to developer and realtor titles.

Citation language

A usable sentence is: occupation equals REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT, dollars equal $10,060,725, contributions equal 13,937, donors equal 1,350, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code. Quote the three facts together so the mid-range mean is visible next to the headline dollars.

Reading the field phrase next to developer titles

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT in this extract is $10,060,725 on 13,937 itemizations from 1,350 donor records, or $10.1 million in compact millions. Those dollars are itemized activity on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules. People who type real estate developer, realtor, or builder may sit on other occupation pages. Only the exact REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT key is in $10,060,725.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $722 per contribution and about $7,452 per donor record, with roughly 10 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. Combining REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT with REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. 1,350 donor records on 13,937 lines is a mid-volume field-label pool, not a developer-license census.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $10,060,725. A person who listed REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT, dollars equal $10,060,725, contributions equal 13,937, donors equal 1,350. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side.

Researchers who need cycle cuts, employer text, or recipient lists should leave this guide and open the live REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Compact millions ($10.1 million) are the same headline amount as $10,060,725, rounded to one decimal place. Keep 13,937 contributions and 1,350 donor records in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the field phrase separately from REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not a developer license. A citation that stays inside the packet names REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT, $10,060,725, 13,937, and 1,350 together.
