ZIP 10024: $197.9 million across 310,094 FEC lines

High line count, lower mean

$197,936,473 divided by 310,094 is about $638 per itemized line. Among the high-dollar ZIPs in this set, 10024 sits with other volume codes: many receipts, a mean under $1,000. That does not prove every line is small. Large PAC or joint-fundraising itemizations can still sit inside $197,936,473. They are diluted in the average by the length of the list.

Three hundred ten thousand ninety-four contributions is an itemization count, not a unique-person count. Repeat givers, online itemized gifts, and household pairs can lengthen the list. This packet has no donor headcount. Cite 310,094 as a contribution-line total.

No party split is attached to $197,936,473. Upper West Side reputation is not an FEC field. The Commission stores a ZIP string. LobbyVault reports the roll-up.

10024 as a contributor ZIP, not a block club

A PAC or joint fundraising committee that lists a Broadway or Central Park West address still posts 10024 when that is the ZIP on Schedule A. Individuals who list the ZIP add the same way. $197,936,473 is therefore not automatically “what UWS residents gave.” It is what was itemized with that five-digit code.

The 310,094-line count is the research lead. Open named receipts on the ZIP 10024 FEC page if you need committees. This guide will not infer a grassroots story or a bundler story from the mean.

What $197,936,473 omits

Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. New York State office campaigns are omitted. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted. Cite $197,936,473 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 10024, from FEC.gov.

A long line list can absorb small amendments without moving the headline much. A restated joint-fundraising block still can. Recheck the live ZIP 10024 FEC page after large filings. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Committee mail in the Upper West Side is why the residential reading of $197,936,473 fails. A PAC, a joint fundraising committee, or a work address that lists 10024 is counted. FEC.gov stored the ZIP that was filed. LobbyVault summed it. Recoding those rows out of $197,936,473 would be a new dataset.

10024 beside 10023

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same series. 10023 is a neighboring Upper West Side code with its own dollar total and line count. Adding 10024 to 10023 is a recode you must document; it is not this $197,936,473 figure. Compare 310,094 lines against 10023 as filing shape. FEC.gov does not rank which side of 86th Street is more engaged.

Independent expenditures mentioning a race near the Upper West Side can be paid by a committee with a different ZIP. Those disbursements do not move $197,936,473. Mixing independent-expenditure tables with this ZIP total double-counts some activity and misses other activity. Keep the series separate.

Source and next clicks

The ZIP 10024 FEC page holds $197,936,473 and 310,094 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 brownstone or concert-hall narrative is attached to the ZIP field.

Title, H1, and table on the live hub should show the same $197,936,473 and 310,094 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 10024 without inflating the Upper West Side

The accurate citation is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 10024 total $197,936,473 across 310,094 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Shorthand such as “the Upper West Side donated $197,936,473” drops the itemized-only limit and the PAC-address caveat. Keep both limits in the sentence at least once.

A mean of about $638 describes a extreme volume ZIP. It does not describe a median resident. Because this packet has no unique-donor count, 310,094 stays a line count. Researchers who need persons must match names on the ZIP 10024 FEC page rather than dividing $197,936,473 by a guessed household count.

ZIP 10024 will keep attracting “how much did Upper West Side 10024 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. $197,936,473 across 310,094 lines is what that field sums to in this aggregate. A mean near $638 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 $197,936,473 or 310,094, the newer FEC extract wins and this snapshot is stale.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 10024?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 10024 total $197,936,473 across 310,094 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 West Side. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $197,936,473 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 10024?

LobbyVault counts 310,094 itemized contributions for ZIP 10024. 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 310,094 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $197,936,473.

Does ZIP 10024 include only residents of the Upper West 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 West Side can be part of $197,936,473 when 10024 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 310,094-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 10024 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $197,936,473 and 310,094 lines for ZIP 10024. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from the Upper West Side are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $638 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
