Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 07078

Short Hills mail on 38,141 federal lines

Thirty-eight thousand one hundred forty-one itemized receipts add to $35,614,325. The mean is about $934 per line ($35,614,325 / 38,141). That pairing is thicker than a high-volume inner-suburb mean. Essex County mail mixes homes with professional offices. LobbyVault does not split those rows in this aggregate. $35,614,325 is every itemization labeled 07078.

A $934 mean can hide a split between modest personal itemizations and a thinner tail of large checks. Sort the ZIP 07078 FEC page by amount to inspect that tail. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 38,141 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of Short Hills.

Essex County is not a single ZIP. 07078 is one Short Hills code. Millburn, Maplewood, and other west-Essex codes have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 07078 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.

What 07078 is not

The aggregate is not a New Jersey ELEC total and not a Millburn Township campaign 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 $35,614,325. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a New Jersey race. Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally them. A commuting-to-Manhattan story that cites $35,614,325 without opening those strings is using a ZIP total as a substitute for an employer table it does not have.

07078 versus other west-Essex codes

Short Hills is a place name. ZIP 07078 is a five-digit FEC field. $35,614,325 across 38,141 lines is the indexed pair. Township geography is orientation. It is not an FEC finding about Essex County giving habits. Employer, occupation, and recipient tables sit elsewhere.

The all-ZIP directory ranks dollars. 07078’s rank on dollars will not automatically match its rank on line count. Compare 38,141 receipts against a higher-volume New Jersey ZIP as filing shape. FEC.gov publishes both. It does not crown a more engaged suburb.

Reading the $934 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, 38,141 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. $35,614,325 is the indexed aggregate as harvested. Recheck the live ZIP 07078 FEC page after large filings. FEC.gov remains the source.

Where to continue from 07078

The ZIP 07078 FEC page lists the table behind $35,614,325. 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 38,141-line count, the newer FEC extract wins. A mean near $934 follows from division and is not a median Short Hills resident. Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Short Hills 07078 as one Essex code, not a township stack

Millburn Township has more than one mailing pattern. 07078 is Short Hills. $35,614,325 across 38,141 lines should be quoted as that mailing code, not as ‘Essex County giving.’ Adding 07078 to Millburn or Maplewood is a recode this packet does not contain. Rank those codes on the all-ZIP index instead.

The $934 mean on 38,141 lines is thicker than many high-volume inner-suburb means. Sort the ZIP 07078 FEC page by amount. This packet has no unique-donor count. Cite 38,141 as receipts, not as people who live in Short Hills. Occupation strings sit on rows, not in this rollup.

New Jersey ELEC filings sit outside $35,614,325. Use the donor directory for names. If the live hub reprints a different total or 38,141-line count, FEC.gov controls. Cite $35,614,325 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 07078, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Questions

How much did ZIP 07078 itemize in federal contributions?

LobbyVault’s ZIP aggregate shows $35,614,325 across 38,141 FEC contributions listing 07078, sourced from FEC.gov. The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP on each receipt. The mean is about $934 per line, which is not a unique-donor average.

What is the average 07078 contribution?

Dividing $35,614,325 by 38,141 receipts yields about $934 per line. That is a mean, not a median, and not a per-person average. This packet does not include a unique-donor count, so the receipt total should not be read as a headcount of Short Hills residents.

Does 07078 cover all of Millburn?

No. 07078 is one five-digit code used in Short Hills. Other Millburn and Essex County ZIPs have separate FEC hubs with their own dollar totals. Compare them on the all-ZIP index. The $35,614,325 figure is only the itemizations labeled 07078.

Where can I see 07078 receipts?

On the ZIP 07078 FEC page, which lists the table behind $35,614,325 and 38,141 receipts. Rank other mailing codes on the all-ZIP index. Use the donor directory for person-level records. LobbyVault’s 07078 packet reports the dollar total and the contribution count only.
