ZIP 06830: $125.5 million on 76,209 FEC receipts

Greenwich 06830 on the FEC tape

$125,531,457 divided by 76,209 is about $1,650 per itemized line. That mean is higher than many city volume ZIPs and lower than concentration ZIPs above $10,000. Greenwich hosts household itemizations, finance-office receipts, and any PAC that files a 06830 address. FEC.gov does not split those groups in this ZIP total. LobbyVault reports $125,531,457 and 76,209.

Seventy-six thousand two hundred nine itemizations is a substantial list. Repeat givers and household pairs can lengthen it. This packet has no unique-donor count. Cite 76,209 as a contribution-line total, not a census of Greenwich.

No party split is published on $125,531,457. Fairfield County geography is orientation. It is not an FEC finding about Connecticut ideology. The Commission stores a ZIP string.

06830 is not 06831

Greenwich has more than one ZIP. 06831 is a separate FEC key with its own dollar total and line count. This page cites only 06830. Adding the two codes is a recode. FEC.gov did not publish a combined Greenwich figure here.

A joint fundraising committee that lists a 06830 street still posts that ZIP when it is on Schedule A. Household rows add the same way. Open the ZIP 06830 FEC page for named receipts rather than inferring the mix from the mean.

What $125,531,457 omits

Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Connecticut state-office campaigns are omitted. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Connecticut race. Cite $125,531,457 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 06830, sourced from FEC.gov.

Amended reports can raise or lower both dollars and the 76,209-line count. Recheck the live ZIP 06830 FEC page after a large restatement. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Committee mail in Greenwich, Connecticut is why the residential reading of $125,531,457 fails. A PAC, a joint fundraising committee, or a work address that lists 06830 is counted. FEC.gov stored the ZIP that was filed. LobbyVault summed it. Recoding those rows out of $125,531,457 would be a new dataset.

06830 in the ZIP ranking

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same series. Compare 76,209 lines against 06831 as filing shape. Do not convert that comparison into a claim about which Greenwich ZIP is more politically active. FEC.gov does not score activity.

Independent expenditures mentioning a race near Greenwich, Connecticut can be paid by a committee with a different ZIP. Those disbursements do not move $125,531,457. Mixing independent-expenditure tables with this ZIP total double-counts some activity and misses other activity. Keep the series separate.

Source tables

The ZIP 06830 FEC page holds $125,531,457 and 76,209 as currently indexed. The all-ZIP directory ranks other codes. The donor directory lists names on itemized rows. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls. No hedge-fund narrative is attached to the ZIP field.

Title, H1, and table on the live hub should show the same $125,531,457 and 76,209 this guide cites. If they do not, the hub was rebuilt from a newer extract. Trust the hub over this paragraph. Guides are snapshots of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

How to cite ZIP 06830 without inflating Greenwich, Connecticut

The accurate citation is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 06830 total $125,531,457 across 76,209 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Shorthand such as “Greenwich, Connecticut donated $125,531,457” drops the itemized-only limit and the PAC-address caveat. Keep both limits in the sentence at least once.

A mean of about $1,650 describes a mid-volume suburban ZIP. It does not describe a median resident. Because this packet has no unique-donor count, 76,209 stays a line count. Researchers who need persons must match names on the ZIP 06830 FEC page rather than dividing $125,531,457 by a guessed household count.

ZIP 06830 will keep attracting “how much did Greenwich 06830 give” queries because searchers use ZIP as a proxy for a neighborhood. FEC.gov does not use ZIP that way. It stores a five-digit contributor field. $125,531,457 across 76,209 lines is what that field sums to in this aggregate. A mean near $1,650 follows from division. Unique donors are not in the packet. Party is not in the packet. The PAC and joint-fundraising caveat is in the source note and belongs in any careful citation. Use the all-ZIP directory only to compare other codes on the same series. Use the donor directory for names. If the live hub reprints a different $125,531,457 or 76,209, the newer FEC extract wins and this snapshot is stale.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 06830?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 06830 total $125,531,457 across 76,209 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 people who live in Greenwich, Connecticut. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $125,531,457 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 06830?

LobbyVault counts 76,209 itemized contributions for ZIP 06830. 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, so 76,209 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $125,531,457.

Does ZIP 06830 include only residents of Greenwich, Connecticut?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in Greenwich, Connecticut can be part of $125,531,457 when 06830 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 76,209-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 06830 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $125,531,457 and 76,209 lines for ZIP 06830. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from Greenwich, Connecticut are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $1,650 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
