ZIP 02109: $18.0 million across 27,455 FEC lines

A financial-district ZIP, higher dollars per line

$17,950,023 divided by 27,455 is about $654 per itemized line. 02109 is State Street and the Custom House more than a residential neighborhood. That does not make every row a PAC. It does make workplace addresses more likely than in a Newton household ZIP. The packet still has only two facts. It has no unique-donor count.

Twenty-seven thousand four hundred fifty-five contributions is a shorter list than many $18 million ZIPs. Repeat itemizations, law-firm and fund addresses, and redesignations can add rows. Quote 27,455 as a line count, not as a census of downtown residents.

LobbyVault does not attach a Boston political identity to $17,950,023. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 02109.

Financial District filers often list the office. $17,950,023 across 27,455 contributions still has to be quoted as a ZIP roll-up, not as a fund-manager census. Keep the leading zero. Keep 27,455 as a line count. This packet has no unique-donor count. The $654 mean is a ratio. Recheck the ZIP 02109 FEC page after quarterly filings. 02110 is a different key. FEC.gov controls.

Keep the leading zero on Massachusetts ZIPs

02109 is a five-digit code. Spreadsheets that store 2109 will fail to match FEC itemizations. A filer who lists a workplace, a filer who lists a downtown condo, and a joint fundraising committee that uses a 02109 suite all land in the same bucket. $17,950,023 is that bucket. It is not a resident-only book.

Open named receipts on the ZIP 02109 FEC page if you need to see which committees appear. This guide will not invent a split inside 27,455 lines.

Outside $17,950,023

Unitemized federal gifts never enter. Massachusetts state-office campaigns never enter. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter. Cite $17,950,023 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 02109.

With fewer lines than a high-volume Cambridge ZIP, a handful of large restated transfers can move the headline more. Recheck the live hub after quarterly filings. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Boston’s 02109 key is Financial District geography. $17,950,023 across 27,455 contributions is a shorter list with a $654 mean. Workplace addresses are likely; they are not labeled in this packet. Keep the leading zero. Keep 27,455 as a line count. This packet has no unique-donor count.

Massachusetts local campaigns never enter this federal ZIP total. Recheck the ZIP 02109 FEC page after quarterly filings. Adjoining downtown keys have their own totals. The donor directory lists names. FEC.gov controls if a later extract disagrees with $17,950,023.

02109 beside 02110 and 02108

The Waterfront and the 02108 Hill district are different mail keys. Adding them to 02109 and calling the sum a Boston FEC total is a recode you must document. This page reports $17,950,023 for 02109 only.

The all-ZIP directory is the inventory for that comparison. Compare 27,455 against those peers rather than against a Cambridge ZIP with 91,000 lines. Filing shape is local to how addresses were entered.

Tables for the Financial District key

Filtering the donor directory to 02109 should reconcile to the ZIP hub, not to a homemade $654 average. When a name search and 27,455 disagree, the ZIP roll-up is the geographic total.

Financial District mail without a Boston citywide sum

02109 posts $17,950,023 across 27,455 contributions, about $654 per line. State Street and the Custom House are office geography. That does not make every row a PAC. It does make workplace addresses more likely than in a Newton household ZIP. Keep the leading zero. This packet has no unique-donor count.

02110 and 02108 are adjoining downtown keys. Adding them to 02109 manufactures a city figure. If you need that figure, list every ZIP. Keep 27,455 as the 02109 line count. The all-ZIP directory is the inventory.

Massachusetts state filings sit outside $17,950,023. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside. With fewer lines than a high-volume Cambridge ZIP, restated transfers can move the headline more. Recheck the ZIP 02109 FEC page. The donor directory is not a second copy of $17,950,023. FEC.gov controls if a later extract disagrees.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 02109?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 02109 total $17,950,023 across 27,455 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of downtown Boston residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $654 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 02109?

LobbyVault counts 27,455 itemized contributions for ZIP 02109. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Workplace-address batches and repeat gifts can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $17,950,023.

Does ZIP 02109 include only Boston residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Financial District offices and committees that file 02109 can be part of $17,950,023 when that is what was entered. Keep the leading zero when matching files. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 02109 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $17,950,023 and 27,455 lines for ZIP 02109. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Massachusetts state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
