ZIP 10019: $374.4 million in FEC itemized receipts

Midtown West dollars and a long receipt list

$374,420,183 divided by 144,488 is about $2,590 per itemized line. That mean is in the same band as several other Manhattan commercial ZIPs with six-figure line counts. It is not a median. A few large PAC or joint-fundraising receipts can sit inside $374,420,183 without showing up in the average as a “typical Midtown gift.” The packet publishes two facts: the dollar total and the contribution count.

One hundred forty-four thousand four hundred eighty-eight itemizations is a volume ZIP, not a concentration ZIP. Compare that shape with codes that post similar dollars on 3,000 or 7,000 lines. Both shapes are legal FEC filings. Neither is a score of neighborhood virtue. LobbyVault reports the roll-up that FEC.gov already disclosed.

No party share is attached to $374,420,183. Employer and occupation strings live on other tables. 10019 is a geographic key on the contributor record. Reading it as a media-industry or theater-district political program would add a story the file does not contain.

What the 10019 ZIP field actually stores

Schedule A stores a five-digit contributor ZIP. A talent agency, a network office, a PAC, or a joint fundraising committee that lists 10019 will add to $374,420,183 when that is the ZIP on the receipt. An individual who lists a Hell’s Kitchen or Midtown apartment can add the same way. FEC.gov does not mark which rows are homes. This aggregate therefore cannot be cited as “resident giving in 10019.”

The 144,488 figure counts itemized lines. Repeat contributors add lines. Redesignations and memo entries can add lines. This packet has no unique-donor count, so this guide does not invent a headcount of people behind 10019.

What $374,420,183 leaves out

Unitemized federal gifts below the itemization threshold never enter this total. New York State campaign filings never enter it. Independent expenditures paid by a committee with a different ZIP never enter it, even if the advertisement mentions a New York race. $374,420,183 is itemized federal receipts tagged 10019, sourced from FEC.gov.

Amended joint-fundraising reports can still move a Midtown ZIP. After a large restatement, use the live ZIP 10019 FEC page rather than treating $374,420,183 as a frozen figure. Cycle windows and extract dates also matter: this prose is a snapshot of the aggregate indexed on LobbyVault.

Itemized-only scope still needs repeating on a high-volume commercial ZIP. $374,420,183 never includes unitemized federal gifts, and it never includes state-office money from Midtown West Manhattan. A newspaper that adds those systems to $374,420,183 has left FEC.gov. This page stays on the Commission’s itemized receipts tagged 10019.

10019 among other Manhattan ZIPs

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same FEC series by dollars. Other 100xx codes will appear on the same screen with different line counts. A ZIP with more receipts and a lower mean is not “more grassroots.” A ZIP with fewer receipts and a higher mean is not “more captured.” Those words are not FEC categories. Compare $374,420,183 and 144,488 against peers as filing shape, then open named receipts if you need committees.

Dollar rank and line-count rank diverge on ZIP 10019. 144,488 receipts against $374,420,183 is the pairing that describes filing shape. A peer ZIP with similar dollars and one-tenth the lines is a different mix, not a more generous town. FEC.gov does not score generosity.

Source and follow-on tables

LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov bulk data. The ZIP 10019 FEC page is the live table behind $374,420,183 and 144,488. The all-ZIP directory ranks other five-digit codes. The donor directory lists names on itemized rows across ZIPs. If a later extract disagrees with the printed numbers, the Commission’s filing controls. This guide does not add income, party, or motive onto a ZIP the FEC did not put there.

The live ZIP 10019 FEC page can disagree with this snapshot after an amendment. Joint-fundraising restatements are the usual reason a high-volume commercial total moves. When the numbers differ, the later FEC.gov extract controls. LobbyVault indexes; it does not freeze $374,420,183.

What 144,488 lines cannot tell you about Midtown West Manhattan

ZIP 10019 in Midtown West Manhattan shows 144,488 itemized contributions totaling $374,420,183. That line count is not a unique-donor census. Repeat itemizations, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows. This packet has no person field, so this guide does not invent one. Open named receipts if you need identities.

The mean of about $2,590 is $374,420,183 divided by 144,488. It is a ratio for a high-volume commercial ZIP, not a typical household gift and not a median. Committee and joint-fundraising addresses in Midtown West Manhattan can sit in the same total as individuals. The source remains FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 10019?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 10019 total $374,420,183 across 144,488 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 Midtown West Manhattan. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $374,420,183 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 10019?

LobbyVault counts 144,488 itemized contributions for ZIP 10019. 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 144,488 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $374,420,183.

Does ZIP 10019 include only residents of Midtown West Manhattan?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in Midtown West Manhattan can be part of $374,420,183 when 10019 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 144,488-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 10019 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $374,420,183 and 144,488 lines for ZIP 10019. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from Midtown West Manhattan are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $2,590 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
