ZIP 02458: $17.8 million across 33,740 FEC lines

One Newton village ZIP, not the whole city

$17,840,624 divided by 33,740 is about $529 per itemized line. Newton uses several ZIPs. 02458 is one of them, covering Newton Corner and adjoining streets. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count or a citywide roll-up.

Thirty-three thousand seven hundred forty contributions is a working list. Repeat givers, household pairs, and any committee that files 02458 all add rows. Do not treat 33,740 as a census of Newton.

LobbyVault does not treat $17,840,624 as a ranking of inner-suburb civic mood. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 02458.

Newton Corner is not Newton. $17,840,624 across 33,740 contributions is 02458 only. Keep the leading zero or the match against FEC.gov fails. This packet has no unique-donor count. The $529 mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. Recheck the ZIP 02458 FEC page after quarterly filings. 02459 is a different village key. The donor directory lists names. FEC.gov controls.

Leading zeros and village mail

02458 is a five-digit code. Spreadsheets that store 2458 will fail to match FEC itemizations. A committee that lists a Washington Street suite still posts 02458. $17,840,624 follows the form. It is not a resident-only book.

Open the ZIP 02458 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not guess which of the 33,740 rows are households.

02458 beside 02459 and 02460

The all-ZIP directory is the inventory for that comparison. Compare 33,740 against those peers rather than against a Cambridge ZIP with 91,000 lines. Filing shape is local to how addresses were entered.

One Newton village key, still two FEC facts

02458 posts $17,840,624 across 33,740 contributions, about $529 per line. Newton Corner is not Newton Centre. Other Newton village ZIPs are separate roll-ups. Keep the leading zero when matching files. This packet has no unique-donor count and no citywide sum.

02459 and 02460 are adjoining Newton keys. Adding them to 02458 manufactures a city figure. If you need that figure, list every ZIP. Keep 33,740 as the 02458 line count. The all-ZIP directory is the inventory.

Massachusetts state filings sit outside $17,840,624. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside. Recheck the ZIP 02458 FEC page after quarterly filings. Named receipts show which committees appear. The donor directory is not a second copy of $17,840,624. FEC.gov controls if a later extract disagrees.

If a later Commission extract reprints 02458, compare it to $17,840,624 and 33,740 on the live hub before quoting this snapshot. Keep the leading zero. Newton Corner is not the whole city. Named receipts remain the way to see committees. The donor directory is not a second copy of those two facts.
