Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 02421

Line volume on ZIP 02421

94,226 itemizations is the distinctive count for 02421. $32,301,157 divided by 94,226 is about $343 per line. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median gift, not a typical household, and not evidence that every row is the same size.

94,226 is a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and redesignations can add rows without adding new people. This packet does not publish a donor headcount, so 94,226 should be cited as itemizations tagged 02421 on FEC.gov.

Why the leading zero on 02421 matters

FEC files store contributor ZIP as a five-character string. 02421 is not 2421. Exports that coerce the field to a number drop the zero and fail to match the ZIP 02421 FEC page. Researchers joining LobbyVault tables to other extracts should keep 02421 as text.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $32,301,157. Non-federal campaigns that never file with the FEC never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP do not move this receipt total. Cite $32,301,157 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 02421.

Size mix inside 94,226 rows

A mean of about $343 can still hide large lines. Sort the ZIP 02421 FEC page by amount. The packet does not publish medians or bands. The hub table is the only size split attached to $32,301,157 in this extract.

Do not infer turnout, engagement, or motive from 94,226 or $343. Itemizations are Schedule A rows labeled 02421. FEC.gov stored the ZIP string. LobbyVault summed it. Names live on the receipts, not in this roll-up.

Reading the ZIP 02421 hub

The ZIP 02421 FEC page holds the live $32,301,157 and 94,226 as currently indexed. Title, H1, and table should match those two facts. If they do not, the hub was rebuilt from a newer extract and this snapshot is stale. Trust the hub over this paragraph.

The all-ZIP directory ranks other five-digit codes on the same series. Adding 02421 to neighboring codes is a recode you must document; it is not this $32,301,157 figure. The donor directory lists names that appear on itemized rows. Use it for people, not for a second copy of the ZIP total.

How to cite ZIP 02421

The accurate citation is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 02421 total $32,301,157 across 94,226 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Keep the leading zero in the citation. A mean of about $343 describes filing shape, not a typical resident. Unique donors are not in the packet. Party is not in the packet.

If a restated fundraising transfer or an amended Schedule A changes the extract, $32,301,157 and 94,226 will move. Recheck the live hub after large filings. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault, not a forecast of the next report. Keep the leading zero: 02421 is a five-character FEC field, and 94,226 lines make this one of the longer lists in the batch.

Leading zero plus high volume

ZIP 02421 combines a leading zero with 94,226 itemizations totaling $32,301,157. Both traits cause join errors: the zero disappears in numeric columns, and the long list tempts people to call 94,226 a population. Keep 02421 as text. Keep 94,226 as a line count. Mean: about $343.

Ninety-four thousand lines will not fit a mental model of a small ZIP. The FEC field does not care. $32,301,157 is the sum of tagged receipts. It is not a Census population times a giving rate.

The ZIP 02421 FEC page is the live reprint of $32,301,157 and 94,226. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. This guide does not version amendments. ZIP 02421 asks for two disciplines at once: keep the leading zero, and keep 94,226 from becoming a population. The code is a five-character FEC field. The count is 94,226 itemizations totaling $32,301,157, about $343 per line. Numeric columns create 2421 and then miss /zip-codes/02421/. Population language creates unique donors this packet does not publish. The supported citation names 02421, $32,301,157, and 94,226 together, sourced to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized gifts stay out. Non-federal campaigns stay out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP stay out. The all-ZIP directory compares other keys without merging them. The donor directory lists names without de-duplicating 02421. When extracts change, the live hub wins.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 02421?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 02421 total $32,301,157 across 94,226 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count. Unitemized gifts sit outside $32,301,157. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 02421?

LobbyVault counts 94,226 itemized contributions for ZIP 02421. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries 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 $32,301,157, a mean near $343.

Why keep the leading zero on ZIP 02421?

FEC contributor ZIP is a five-character field. 02421 is not the same key as 2421. Number-formatted spreadsheets drop the zero and break joins to the ZIP 02421 FEC page. Store the code as text. The $32,301,157 and 94,226 facts attach to the five-digit string as filed on FEC.gov.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 02421 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $32,301,157 and 94,226 lines for ZIP 02421. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal campaigns are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $343 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
