Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 02467

Chestnut Hill mail on 48,812 federal lines

Forty-eight thousand eight hundred twelve itemized receipts add to $36,620,000. The mean is about $750 per line ($36,620,000 / 48,812). That pairing is a suburban-in-the-metro volume pattern: tens of thousands of lines, a mid-hundreds mean, eight-figure dollars. A mean in that band usually means many modest itemizations with a thinner tail of larger checks.

Sort the ZIP 02467 FEC page by amount to inspect the tail. The mean can look stable even if a few transfers are large, because 48,812 lines dilute them. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 48,812 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of Chestnut Hill.

Newton and Brookline are not a single ZIP. 02467 is one Chestnut Hill code. Other Newton, Brookline, and Boston codes have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 02467 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.

What $36,620,000 leaves out

The aggregate is not a Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance total and not a Newton or Brookline municipal report. It is federal itemizations from FEC.gov. It is also not a party index. FEC schedules do not score ZIP codes by ideology, and this packet does not invent one.

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $36,620,000. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Massachusetts race. Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally them. A university-or-hospital story that cites $36,620,000 without opening those strings is using a ZIP total as a substitute for an employer table it does not have.

02467 versus other inner-suburb codes

Chestnut Hill is a place name that straddles municipal lines. ZIP 02467 is a five-digit FEC field. $36,620,000 across 48,812 lines is the indexed pair. Campus geography is orientation. It is not an FEC finding about inner-suburb giving habits. Employer, occupation, and recipient tables sit elsewhere.

The all-ZIP directory ranks dollars. 02467’s rank on dollars will not automatically match its rank on line count. Compare 48,812 receipts against a thinner Massachusetts ZIP as filing shape. FEC.gov publishes both. It does not crown a more engaged village.

Reading the $750 mean

Confirm the largest rows on the hub table. If they are committee names, note them. If they are personal names, note that instead. Either way, 48,812 remains a receipt count. The accurate comparison with another ZIP uses both dollars and line count, not dollars alone.

Cycle windows matter even when this packet does not print a cycle year. $36,620,000 is the indexed aggregate as harvested. Recheck the live ZIP 02467 FEC page after large filings. FEC.gov remains the source.

Source tables for 02467

The ZIP 02467 FEC page lists the table behind $36,620,000. The all-ZIP index ranks other codes. The donor directory is the name-level path. This copy uses only the packet’s total and contribution count. Cycle splits, party labels, and occupation tallies are omitted because they are not packet facts. If the live hub reprints a different total or 48,812-line count, the newer FEC extract wins. A mean near $750 follows from division and is not a median Chestnut Hill resident. Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Chestnut Hill 02467 straddles towns; the FEC field does not

Chestnut Hill is a place name on the Newton–Brookline line. ZIP 02467 is one five-digit field. $36,620,000 across 48,812 lines is this code only. Adding it to other Newton or Brookline ZIPs is a recode. FEC.gov did not publish a combined inner-suburb figure on this table. Rank neighboring codes on the all-ZIP index using both dollars and line count.

The $750 mean on 48,812 lines is a suburban-in-the-metro volume shape. Campus and residential mail can share the code. This packet does not split them. Sort the ZIP 02467 FEC page by amount. This packet has no unique-donor count. Cite 48,812 as receipts.

Massachusetts OCPF filings sit outside $36,620,000. Use the donor directory for names. Recheck the live hub after large filings. If a later extract disagrees with $36,620,000 or 48,812, the newer FEC.gov file wins. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 02467?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 02467 total $36,620,000 across 48,812 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 Chestnut Hill. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 02467?

LobbyVault counts 48,812 itemized contributions for ZIP 02467. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $36,620,000.

Does 02467 cover all of Newton and Brookline?

No. 02467 is one five-digit code used in Chestnut Hill. Other Newton and Brookline ZIPs have separate FEC hubs with their own dollar totals. Compare them on the all-ZIP index. The $36,620,000 figure is only the itemizations labeled 02467.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 02467 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $36,620,000 and 48,812 lines for ZIP 02467. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $750 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
