Federal contributions from ZIP 02115

Eighteen thousand lines carrying $24.2 million

Eighteen thousand seven hundred ninety-seven itemized receipts add to $24,247,882. The mean is about $1,290 per line ($24,247,882 / 18,797). That is a thicker-check city ZIP than the high-volume codes that clear similar dollars on 70,000-plus lines. A four-figure mean usually means a heavier tail of large itemizations, not a typical apartment-dweller gift.

Fenway and Longwood mix hospitals, universities, and residential blocks. The FEC field does not split those uses. Sort the ZIP 02115 FEC page by amount. If the largest rows are committee or institutional names, the $1,290 mean is a file-shape statistic, not a neighborhood portrait. This packet has no unique-donor count. Cite 18,797 as receipts.

Boston uses many five-digit codes. 02115 is one. Downtown, the State House area, and Brookline hubs are separate. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding those totals to $24,247,882 invents a city sum this packet does not contain.

Medical-campus mail is still a ZIP tag

Searchers often want a Longwood-giving story. This packet does not tally hospitals or universities. Employer strings live on individual receipts. Quoting $24,247,882 as a medical-industry total is using a mailing code as a substitute for an employer table.

Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance filings for state office sit outside $24,247,882. Keep the federal ZIP total as a federal ZIP total. Mixing OCPF and FEC money invents a Fenway figure this packet does not contain. Longwood’s hospitals and Fenway’s apartments share 02115. Eighteen thousand seven hundred ninety-seven receipts are fewer than most $24 million ZIPs, which is why the $1,290 mean is thick. The mean still is not a typical renter’s gift. Sort the ZIP 02115 FEC page by amount and read whether the tail is institutional names or personal names. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $24,247,882. A dense student ZIP can have many small gifts that never itemize. The table is disclosed federal activity tagged 02115, not a complete neighborhood ledger.

What 02115 is not

The aggregate is not a City of Boston campaign report and not a party score. FEC schedules do not score ZIP codes by ideology. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $24,247,882. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Massachusetts race.

The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP as filed. A workplace on Huntington Avenue can share 02115 with a Back Bay home.

How to use a $1,290 mean

Pair dollars with line count. $24,247,882 on 18,797 receipts is a concentrated urban file relative to volume ZIPs with the same-order total. Confirm the largest rows before treating the mean as typical. The all-ZIP index is the comparison surface. This packet does not assign 02115 a national rank.

Cycle windows matter even when this packet does not print a cycle year. Recheck the live ZIP 02115 FEC page after large filings. If a later extract disagrees with $24,247,882 or 18,797, the newer FEC.gov file wins.

Where to continue from 02115

The ZIP 02115 FEC page lists the table behind $24,247,882. The all-ZIP index ranks other codes. The donor directory is the name-level path. Cycle splits, party labels, and occupation tallies are omitted because they are not packet facts. A mean near $1,290 follows from division and is not a median Fenway resident.

Fenway’s federal total versus the rest of Boston

02115 will not stand in for the city. Other Boston codes have their own dollar totals and line counts. Rank them on the all-ZIP index rather than adding them by hand. $24,247,882 across 18,797 lines is the Fenway–Longwood tag only. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

Back Bay and Fenway are not the whole city. Other Boston codes have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. $24,247,882 on 18,797 receipts stays the 02115 tag. Recheck the live extract after large filings. The donor directory is the name-level path once a row looks like a person. This packet has no unique-donor count. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
