KNOXVILLE, TN: $76.2M on 174,310 FEC receipts

The Knoxville itemized pair

Divide $76,226,082 by 174,310 and the average itemized line is about $437. That mean is arithmetic. This packet has no distribution, so $437 is not a typical Knoxville household gift.

Nashville and Memphis are other Tennessee city hubs with their own totals. They are not inside $76,226,082. Oak Ridge, Maryville, and Farragut are other East Tennessee strings when filers typed those names.

A committee address in Knoxville can share the city field with household streets, including a PAC or joint-fundraising listing. LobbyVault does not strip those rows. The 174,310 lines are disclosed receipts, not unique persons.

East Tennessee is not an FEC city

Researchers sometimes want a regional sum. FEC.gov stored city, not region. Adding Oak Ridge or Maryville to Knoxville and calling the result “East Tennessee” is a recode this packet does not publish.

Keep KNOXVILLE, TN as the citation. State TN on the key stops a same-named city elsewhere from merging into this book. Recheck $76,226,082 and 174,310 on the live hub.

How the city field is stored

Filers type a city. The Commission stores that string. KNOXVILLE plus TN is the match. Recoding free-text cities into Census places would be a different product.

ZIP pages regroup the same federal series by postal code. Summing Knoxville-area ZIPs will not necessarily reproduce $76,226,082. The 174,310-line count follows the city field, not the postal map.

What this Knoxville table omits

Tennessee state-office campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $76,226,082 and outside 174,310. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

Nothing on this page estimates how Knoxville voted. Occupation and recipient live on other FEC fields. The supported path is the Knoxville city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index.

A Knoxville citation that names FEC.gov and prints $76,226,082 without 174,310 is incomplete. The line count is how a reader sees that this is a mid-volume book, mean near $437, not a thin large-check file. Knox County maps do not replace the city field.

If a later extract moves Knoxville’s pair, the live hub is the authority. This guide is a snapshot. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Knoxville receipt is the story. Unitemized gifts and Tennessee state filings remain outside $76,226,082 and 174,310.

A complete KNOXVILLE, TN citation

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $76,226,082 with 174,310 together. Dropping the line count hides the mean near $437. Dropping the dollars hides scale.

If title, H1, and table on the live hub disagree with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Knoxville receipt matters.

Knoxville’s $76,226,082 on 174,310 lines, mean near $437, sits beside Boca Raton on shape. Nashville and Memphis remain other Tennessee hubs. Do not add them here.

East Tennessee is a research phrase. FEC.gov stored city. A complete Knoxville footnote prints KNOXVILLE, TN with both packet facts.

What a Knoxville reader should carry

Carry FEC.gov, contributor city KNOXVILLE, TN, $76,226,082, and 174,310 lines. The mean near $437 is optional arithmetic from those two packet facts. It is not a typical gift and not a median.

Nashville, Memphis, Oak Ridge, Maryville, and Farragut stay off this page unless the filer typed KNOXVILLE. Tennessee state-office receipts stay off this page. Unitemized federal gifts stay off this page.

Knox County is orientation, not a roll-up. The 174,310-line count can include repeat givers. It is not a unique-donor census. $76,226,082 is still the dollar sum of those lines.

The live Knoxville hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. If they disagree, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Knoxville receipt matters. ZIP pages split a different field. The cities index lists other Tennessee labels.

Knoxville’s 174,310 lines behind $76,226,082, mean near $437, are a mid-volume Tennessee book. Nashville and Memphis are larger-name hubs with their own totals. Oak Ridge and Maryville are smaller neighboring strings. None of them are a remainder inside $76,226,082.

East Tennessee as a region is useful for maps and for conversation. It is not an FEC city. Adding neighboring strings by hand is a recode. This packet publishes KNOXVILLE, TN only.

Tennessee state campaigns, unitemized federal gifts, and independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations sit outside both facts. The Knoxville hub holds names on this string. ZIP pages regroup the same federal series by postal code. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Quote $76,226,082 with 174,310.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Knoxville federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city KNOXVILLE, TN total $76,226,082 across 174,310 contributions. 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 Knoxville. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Is 174,310 the number of Knoxville donors?

No. LobbyVault counts 174,310 itemized contribution lines for KNOXVILLE, TN. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $76,226,082. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 174,310 should not be quoted as a Knoxville population of donors.

Does Knoxville’s total include Nashville or Oak Ridge?

No, unless the filer typed KNOXVILLE. Nashville is a separate city hub. Oak Ridge and Maryville are other city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $76,226,082 is the KNOXVILLE, TN match. The 174,310 lines follow the same rule. East Tennessee is a research phrase, not an FEC dimension on this Knoxville hub.

How current is the $76,226,082 Knoxville total?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $76,226,082 and 174,310 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Tennessee non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $437 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
