Federal contributions from ZIP 06820

Darien’s $28,708,992 on 37,346 lines

$28,708,992 divided by 37,346 is about $769 per itemized line. Fairfield County codes in this dollar band often show tens of thousands of rows rather than a handful of large transfers. The average is a ratio, not a median, and not a typical Darien household check.

Thirty-seven thousand three hundred forty-six itemizations is a long receipt list. Repeat gifts and bundled events add rows. 37,346 is not a headcount of people who live near the New Haven Line or along the Post Road.

The packet attaches no party share to $28,708,992 and no unique-donor field. Employer strings sit on other LobbyVault views. 06820 is a geographic key on the contributor record. Cite 37,346 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted.

Five digits on a Connecticut itemization

06820 is Darien’s five-digit key. A contributor who lists a residential street, a local office, or a committee that files 06820 adds to $28,708,992 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving misstates the field.

The 37,346-line count includes memo entries and redesignations. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted. Shoreline geography is orientation only.

What stays outside $28,708,992

Unitemized federal gifts are out. Connecticut State Elections Enforcement Commission filings are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $28,708,992 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 06820, from FEC.gov.

A suburban Connecticut ZIP still moves when schedules are amended. Recheck the ZIP 06820 FEC page after a restatement. Compare extract dates before treating two published totals as a contradiction.

06820 next to other Fairfield County codes

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same FEC series. Nearby codes may show different means on different line counts. Those contrasts describe filing shape. FEC.gov does not score towns.

Do not add 06820 to another Darien or Greenwich code into a shoreline-plus total on this page. The file reports one key: 06820, $28,708,992, 37,346 contributions.

LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system. Named receipts answer identity questions this 37,346-line roll-up cannot. The mean of about $769 is $28,708,992 divided by 37,346. Quote the pair.

Darien’s two FEC counts, kept together

Quote $28,708,992 with 37,346 contributions whenever 06820 is cited. A dollar-only headline hides a mean of about $769 and invites a household reading the packet does not support. Thirty-seven thousand three hundred forty-six lines are receipts, not people who live near the New Haven Line. The packet has no unique-donor field and no median.

Connecticut State Elections Enforcement Commission filings never enter $28,708,992. Unitemized federal gifts never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter it. Open the ZIP 06820 FEC page for the live table. Open the donor directory for names. Open the all-ZIP directory before adding another Fairfield County code.

Do not stack 06820 with a Greenwich or Norwalk code into a shoreline-plus total on this page. The file reports one key: 06820, $28,708,992, 37,346 contributions. Nearby codes may show different means on different line counts. FEC.gov does not score towns.

If two published extracts disagree, match dates. Amended schedules move suburban Connecticut ZIPs. LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system. Cite $28,708,992 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 06820, from FEC.gov. Keep the $769 mean as arithmetic, not as a Darien household check.

Darien mail is still a five-digit FEC key. $28,708,992 is the dollar side. 37,346 is the line side. Repeat gifts add rows. Memo entries add rows. Neither figure is a household census of people near the New Haven Line. Keep both on the same citation.

Open the ZIP 06820 FEC page when you need the current extract. Open the all-ZIP directory when you need a Fairfield County rank. Open the donor directory when you need a name. LobbyVault does not replace FEC.gov. Quote $28,708,992 with 37,346 contributions after any restatement.

Treat $28,708,992 as an itemized federal roll-up tagged 06820. Treat 37,346 as the matching line count. The mean of about $769 is arithmetic. It is not a median. It is not a typical Darien household check. Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 06820?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 06820 total $28,708,992 across 37,346 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Darien residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $769 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 06820?

LobbyVault counts 37,346 itemized contributions for ZIP 06820. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. Those rows are itemized Schedule A lines, not people. The matching dollar total is $28,708,992.

Does ZIP 06820 include only Darien residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 06820 grid can be part of $28,708,992 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 37,346-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 06820 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $28,708,992 and 37,346 lines for ZIP 06820. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Connecticut state filings are outside both figures. LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
