SIOUX FALLS, SD: $33.4M on 95,063 FEC receipts

Sioux Falls’s volume in Minnehaha County

Ninety-five thousand sixty-three lines produce $33,377,799. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $351. Brandon and Harrisburg are other nearby city strings. They are not inside $33,377,799 unless the filer typed SIOUX FALLS.

Rapid City keeps a separate South Dakota hub. Minnehaha County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up. $33,377,799 is the SIOUX FALLS match only. Keep SD on the key.

Not Sioux City and not a statewide recode

Sioux City is an Iowa city string. Recoding Sioux Falls into a two-state metro total would mix keys. This packet publishes SIOUX FALLS, SD only: $33,377,799 and 95,063 lines.

Household streets and office addresses can share the city field. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 95,063 lines are receipts, not unique persons. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

City string versus ZIP cut

FEC.gov stores whatever city appeared on the itemized receipt. SIOUX FALLS plus SD is the match. Recoding into a Census place or a Siouxland metro label is a different dataset.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing Sioux Falls-area ZIPs can diverge from $33,377,799 when some receipts used Brandon as the city. The 95,063-line count follows the city field.

What sits outside the pair

South Dakota state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $33,377,799 and outside 95,063. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing SIOUX FALLS, SD

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $33,377,799 with 95,063 together. Dropping the line count hides a mean near $351 and a volume South Dakota book.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Sioux Falls receipt matters. Keep SD on the key so the citation does not collide with Iowa.

How to use the Sioux Falls hub

Start on the live Sioux Falls city page. $33,377,799 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 95,063 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Brandon, Harrisburg, or Rapid City as the “real” South Dakota address. Filers typed SIOUX FALLS. LobbyVault indexed SIOUX FALLS. Minnehaha County is useful for maps. It is not an FEC dimension on this hub. A mean near $351 is only $33,377,799 divided by 95,063. It is not a typical Sioux Falls household gift. Occupation, recipient, and party live on other FEC fields. None of those fields are in this packet. Do not infer turnout. Sioux City is an Iowa city string. Rapid City remains a different South Dakota hub. Keep SD on the key.

Cite the pair in one sentence: contributor city SIOUX FALLS, SD, $33,377,799, 95,063 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. If a later extract on the live hub prints a different pair, discard this snapshot. Original filings remain on FEC.gov for any named Sioux Falls receipt that needs a line-by-line check. South Dakota non-federal filings never enter either fact. Unitemized federal gifts never enter either fact. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations never enter either fact. 95,063 is not a unique-donor census. A high line count can include repeat givers. $33,377,799 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both. The live Sioux Falls hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. ZIP pages split a different field. Statewide language does not replace the city field. Do not fold Iowa into $33,377,799.

Sioux Falls’s pair on this extract is $33,377,799 and 95,063 lines, mean near $351. Print both. Brandon and Harrisburg remain other nearby strings. Rapid City remains another South Dakota hub. Sioux City is an Iowa city string. Minnehaha County is orientation. South Dakota state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. Repeat givers can inflate 95,063 without adding unique persons. The live Sioux Falls FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. Open FEC.gov for a named receipt. Quote contributor city SIOUX FALLS, SD with both packet numbers. Keep SD on the key.
