ZIP 10021: $305.9 million across 258,270 FEC lines

A high-line-count Manhattan ZIP

$305,930,381 divided by 258,270 is about $1,180 per itemized line. Relative to Midtown commercial ZIPs with similar dollars, 10021 shows more receipts and a lower mean. That pattern is consistent with many itemized individual gifts sharing a residential-looking ZIP, and it is still compatible with PAC and joint-fundraising rows in the same total. The packet does not split those groups.

Two hundred fifty-eight thousand two hundred seventy contributions is among the higher line counts in this ZIP set. Volume is not a unique-person count. Repeat itemizations, spouse filings, and redesignations can add rows. This packet has no donor headcount, so 258,270 must be cited as a contribution-line total.

LobbyVault does not publish a party split on $305,930,381. Treating the Upper East Side ZIP as a partisan bloc would require a donor-party field the FEC individual file does not carry in this aggregate. The number is a ZIP roll-up, sourced from FEC.gov.

Residential mail codes still mix entity types

10021 is widely used as a household ZIP on the Upper East Side. That reputation does not convert $305,930,381 into a resident-only book. A PAC, a joint fundraising committee, or a medical-office address in 10021 still posts that ZIP when the filer uses it. Say the caveat once and keep it: totals can include those addresses.

The 258,270-line count is the better clue that 10021 is not a three-thousand-line concentration ZIP. Open named receipts on the ZIP 10021 FEC page if you need to see which committees appear. This guide will not guess the mix.

Exclusions from $305,930,381

Unitemized federal gifts never enter. New York City and New York State office campaigns never enter. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter. Cite $305,930,381 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 10021.

Because the line list is long, small amendments may not change the headline much. A restated joint-fundraising block still can. Recheck the live hub after large filings. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Repeat rows are a feature of FEC itemization, not an error in 258,270. A contributor who gives twice is two lines. A redesignation can be another line. Subtracting duplicates without a documented match key would manufacture a total other than $305,930,381. Leave 258,270 as a contribution-line count.

10021 next to 10028 and 10128

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same series. Nearby Upper East Side codes often show the same high-line, mid-mean pattern. Compare 258,270 against those peers rather than against a Strip-area ZIP with 20,000 lines. Filing shape is local to how addresses were entered. FEC.gov does not rank which side street is more “engaged.”

Stacking the Upper East Side with neighboring ZIPs is a common recode. This page does not perform it. $305,930,381 is the 10021 key only. If you build a metro total, list every ZIP you included and do not call the sum an FEC publication. The all-ZIP directory is the inventory for that work.

Where to read the rows

The ZIP 10021 FEC page holds $305,930,381 and 258,270 as currently indexed. The all-ZIP directory places the code among others. The donor directory lists names on itemized receipts. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls. No income map or motive claim is attached to this ZIP total.

LobbyVault’s donor directory is a name-level view across ZIPs. It is not a second copy of $305,930,381. Filtering that directory to 10021 should reconcile to the ZIP hub, not to a homemade average. When a name search and 258,270 disagree, the ZIP roll-up on the hub is the geographic total.

Filing shape on ZIP 10021: high-volume residential-looking

The Upper East Side appears on FEC Schedule A as ZIP 10021. The indexed total is $305,930,381 across 258,270 contributions. That high-volume residential-looking pattern is the fact the two numbers support. It is not a ranking of civic virtue and not a party split. FEC.gov did not attach those labels to this aggregate.

Use the ZIP 10021 FEC page as the live table. Use the all-ZIP directory to see where $305,930,381 sits among other codes. Use the donor directory for names. If an extract later prints a different dollar figure, the Commission’s filing wins. This prose will not silently rewrite 258,270.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 10021?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 10021 total $305,930,381 across 258,270 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 the Upper East Side. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $305,930,381 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 10021?

LobbyVault counts 258,270 itemized contributions for ZIP 10021. 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 258,270 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $305,930,381.

Does ZIP 10021 include only residents of the Upper East Side?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in the Upper East Side can be part of $305,930,381 when 10021 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 258,270-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 10021 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $305,930,381 and 258,270 lines for ZIP 10021. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from the Upper East Side are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $1,180 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
