ZIP 10022: $509.1 million across 216,719 FEC lines

A high-volume Manhattan ZIP

$509,103,260 divided by 216,719 is about $2,350 per itemized line. That mean is lower than concentration ZIPs that post similar dollars on a few thousand receipts, and it is still far above a typical unitemized gift. The packet has no median. The average is a ratio of two FEC counts.

Two hundred sixteen thousand seven hundred nineteen lines is a volume signature. Repeat itemizations, bundled events, and office-address giving can all lengthen the list. LobbyVault does not publish a unique-donor count for this ZIP, so 216,719 must be read as a contribution-line total, not a headcount of Midtown residents.

No party share is attached to $509,103,260. Employer strings and recipient committees sit on other pages. 10022 is a geographic key on the contributor record.

Office ZIPs versus household ZIPs on FEC forms

10022 covers a dense commercial slice of Manhattan. A contributor who lists a Park Avenue or Third Avenue office, a PAC that uses a Midtown mail drop, or a joint fundraising committee with a 10022 address will all add to $509,103,260 when that is the ZIP on Schedule A. Treating the total as “what 10022 households gave” misstates the field.

The 216,719-line count includes whatever the filer itemized with that ZIP. Memo entries and redesignations can add rows. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted.

What $509,103,260 does not include

Unitemized federal gifts are out. New York State Board of Elections filings are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $509,103,260 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 10022, from FEC.gov.

Amended joint-fundraising reports can still move a Midtown ZIP even when the line count is large. Recheck the ZIP 10022 FEC page after a restatement.

Itemized-only scope still needs repeating on a high-volume commercial ZIP. $509,103,260 never includes unitemized federal gifts, and it never includes state-office money from Midtown East Manhattan. A newspaper that adds those systems to $509,103,260 has left FEC.gov. This page stays on the Commission’s itemized receipts tagged 10022.

10022 next to other New York ZIPs

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same FEC series. Other Manhattan codes may show more lines and a lower mean, or fewer lines and a higher mean. Those contrasts describe how money was itemized, not which block is more partisan. FEC.gov does not score blocks.

Dollar rank and line-count rank diverge on ZIP 10022. 216,719 receipts against $509,103,260 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.

What 216,719 lines cannot tell you about Midtown East Manhattan

ZIP 10022 in Midtown East Manhattan shows 216,719 itemized contributions totaling $509,103,260. 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 $2,350 is $509,103,260 divided by 216,719. 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 East Manhattan can sit in the same total as individuals. The source remains FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Readers who arrive from a search for ZIP 10022 political donations usually want a single headline. The honest headline is two numbers: $509,103,260 and 216,719 itemized FEC contributions. A $2,350 mean is a third derived figure, useful only as a scale check. Midtown East is a mail-code label, not a finding that every dollar came from people who live there. Joint fundraising and PAC addresses can sit in $509,103,260. FEC.gov is the source; LobbyVault is the index. If you need names, leave this roll-up and open the ZIP 10022 hub and the donor directory. Do not add state-office money to $509,103,260. Do not add unitemized gifts. Do not invent a unique-donor count the packet omitted. The table behind this guide is the live ZIP 10022 FEC page, which can move when committees amend.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 10022?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 10022 total $509,103,260 across 216,719 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 East Manhattan. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $509,103,260 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 10022?

LobbyVault counts 216,719 itemized contributions for ZIP 10022. 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 216,719 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $509,103,260.

Does ZIP 10022 include only residents of Midtown East 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 East Manhattan can be part of $509,103,260 when 10022 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 216,719-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 10022 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $509,103,260 and 216,719 lines for ZIP 10022. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from Midtown East Manhattan are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $2,350 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
