Federal contributions from ZIP 01778

Fewer lines than many $59 million ZIPs

$59,231,485 divided by 36,940 is about $1,603 per itemized line. That mean is higher than volume ZIPs that need 80,000-plus rows to reach a similar dollar total. It is still a ratio, not a median, and not a typical MetroWest household gift. The packet has no unique-donor count.

Thirty-six thousand nine hundred forty itemizations is a shorter list than several peer codes near $60 million. A shorter list can still hide large transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar, and a $1,603 mean does not prove a single committee dominates.

LobbyVault does not score 01778 as a suburban wealth index. Occupation and employer fields sit elsewhere. This page stays on the two packet facts.

Wayland’s five-digit key is 01778, including the leading zero, on every row inside $59,231,485. Cite 36,940 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted. A 36,940-line file is shorter than many $59 million ZIPs.

Keep the leading zero on 01778

The Commission field is five digits: 01778, not 1778. A contributor who lists a Wayland address, a nearby office, or a committee that files 01778 adds to $59,231,485 when that ZIP is on Schedule A. The accurate description is tagged federal receipts, not a town-only household book.

The 36,940-line count includes repeat gifts and memo entries. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted.

What $59,231,485 excludes

Unitemized federal gifts are out. Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance filings are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $59,231,485 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 01778, from FEC.gov.

Amendments can still move a MetroWest ZIP. Recheck the ZIP 01778 FEC page after a restatement. Compare extract dates before treating two published totals as a conflict.

01778 in the ZIP ranking

The all-ZIP directory uses the same FEC series. Other 017xx codes may show more lines and a lower mean. Those contrasts describe filing shape, not which town is more partisan. FEC.gov does not score towns.

Do not stack 01778 with 01742 or 01776 into a MetroWest metro total on this page. The file reports one key: 01778, $59,231,485, 36,940 contributions.

Wayland’s leading zero and $1,603 mean

ZIP 01778 totals $59,231,485 across 36,940 itemized FEC contributions. The leading zero is part of the Commission field; 1778 is a different string. Thirty-six thousand nine hundred forty lines against $59,231,485 is shorter than several peer ZIPs near $60 million, which is why the mean of about $1,603 runs higher. That mean is still arithmetic. It is not a median and not a typical MetroWest household gift.

Wayland mail includes residential addresses, nearby offices, and committee addresses on the same five digits. LobbyVault does not split those categories here. Repeat gifts add to 36,940. Memo entries add to 36,940. Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance filings never enter $59,231,485. Unitemized federal gifts never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter it. Recheck the ZIP 01778 FEC page after a restatement.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 01778?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 01778 total $59,231,485 across 36,940 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Wayland residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $1,603 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 01778?

LobbyVault counts 36,940 itemized contributions for ZIP 01778. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $59,231,485.

Does ZIP 01778 include only Wayland residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization, including the leading zero. Office and committee addresses in the 01778 grid can be part of $59,231,485 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book.
