Federal contributions from ZIP 02446

Ninety-two thousand Brookline lines

$21,358,351 divided by 92,348 is about $231 per itemized line. Brookline mail shares those five digits on Schedule A. That $231 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical Coolidge Corner household.

Ninety-two thousand three hundred forty-eight itemizations is a high-volume receipt list. Repeat gifts, workplace itemizations, and bundled events can all add rows. 92,348 is not a headcount of people between Boston and Newton.

No party share is attached to $21,358,351. 02446 is a geographic key on the contributor record. Cite 92,348 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted.

Why the leading zero on 02446 matters

FEC files store contributor ZIP as a five-character string. 02446 is not 2446. Exports that coerce the field to a number drop the zero and fail to match the ZIP 02446 FEC page. Researchers joining LobbyVault tables to other extracts should keep 02446 as text.

The $21,358,351 total is attached to that string as filed. Recoding 02446 into a town, a neighborhood, or a three-digit sectional center is a new dataset. LobbyVault reports the five-digit roll-up from FEC.gov.

What $21,358,351 leaves out

Unitemized federal contributions never enter the $21,358,351 sum. Massachusetts state races that do not file with the FEC never enter it. Independent expenditures paid under a different ZIP do not move this receipt total.

Amended reports can still shift $21,358,351 and 92,348. Recheck the live hub after large filings. This guide is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Using the 02446 hub and directories

Open the ZIP 02446 FEC page for the current $21,358,351 and 92,348. Sort by amount if you need to see whether a few large itemizations sit inside the mean of about $231. The all-ZIP directory places 02446 next to other codes on the same series.

The donor directory is for names on itemized rows, not a second ZIP total. If the live table reprints different figures, the newer extract wins. Guides do not override the table.

Joins, zeros, and extract hygiene for 02446

Researchers who export ZIP 02446 into Excel as a number will silently create 2446 and then fail to match $21,358,351 and 92,348 on the hub. Store the field as text before any join. FEC.gov itemizations use five characters; LobbyVault’s overlay path keeps the zero in /zip-codes/02446/.

A clean citation for 02446 names the leading zero, the dollars, and the line count in one sentence: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 02446 total $21,358,351 across 92,348 contributions. The mean of about $231 may follow as arithmetic. Nothing else in this packet supports a donor census or a party split.

Citing 02446 without dropping the zero

Keep the leading zero in the citation: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 02446 total $21,358,351 across 92,348 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $231 is $21,358,351 ÷ 92,348. That is filing shape on a high-volume Brookline ZIP, not a typical Coolidge Corner gift. Unique donors are not in the packet.

Numeric spreadsheets turn 02446 into 2446 and then fail to match /zip-codes/02446/. Store the field as text before any join. Massachusetts state races that never file with the FEC sit outside $21,358,351. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside it. Do not add 02446 to 02445 or 02467 into a Brookline total on this page. If the live hub reprints a different pair, the newer extract wins. Named receipts answer identity; this roll-up answers the five-character key, $21,358,351, and 92,348 lines.

A researcher who only quotes $21,358,351 without 92,348 hides the $231 mean and the volume that produced it. Quote both, and keep the leading zero. If a committee later amends the ZIP field on a large Brookline row, both figures move. Recheck the ZIP 02446 FEC page. This file is a snapshot, not an amendment log.
