Federal contributions from ZIP 10038

Fewer lines than most $23 million ZIPs

Twenty-six thousand seven hundred forty itemized receipts add to $23,084,320. The mean is about $863 per line ($23,084,320 / 26,740). Lower Manhattan files often look thicker than high-volume residential ZIPs that clear similar dollars on 80,000 lines. A mean near eight hundred sixty dollars usually means a heavier tail of large itemizations, including committee and corporate-box addresses clustered downtown.

Manhattan’s Financial District uses several five-digit codes. 10038 is one eastern-Fidi/Seaport tag, not all of 10004, not Midtown. Rank those hubs on the all-ZIP index. Adding them to $23,084,320 invents a borough sum this packet does not contain.

This packet has no unique-donor count. Cite 26,740 as receipts. Sort the ZIP 10038 FEC page by amount. If the largest rows are committee names, the $863 mean is file shape, not a typical Seaport household gift.

NYSBOE and CFB filings sit outside

New York State Board of Elections filings for state office sit outside $23,084,320. New York City Campaign Finance Board local filings sit outside it too. Mixing those databases with FEC.gov invents a Lower Manhattan figure this packet does not contain.

Finance and law-firm employer strings live on individual receipts. This rollup does not tally them. Quoting $23,084,320 as a Wall Street-industry total substitutes a ZIP for an employer table. Civic Center offices and Seaport apartments share 10038. Twenty-six thousand seven hundred forty receipts are fewer than most $23 million ZIPs, which is why the $863 mean is thick. Downtown committee boxes can sit in the tail. Sort the ZIP 10038 FEC page by amount before treating the mean as a household gift. Other Financial District codes are not inside this total. Adding 10004 or Midtown hubs invents a borough figure. The all-ZIP index is the ranking surface. $23,084,320 remains the 10038 tag.

What 10038 is not

The aggregate is not a borough campaign report and not a party score. FEC schedules do not score ZIP codes by ideology. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $23,084,320. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a New York race.

The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP as filed. A downtown office can share 10038 with a residential conversion. The tag is not a proof of residency.

Reading $863 against volume ZIPs

Pair $23,084,320 with 26,740 lines. A residential ZIP with similar dollars and three times the receipts is a different object. The all-ZIP index is the ranking surface. This packet does not assign 10038 a national rank.

Cycle windows matter even when this packet does not print a cycle year. Recheck the live hub after large filings. If a later extract disagrees with $23,084,320 or 26,740, the newer FEC.gov file wins.

Where to continue from 10038

The ZIP 10038 FEC page lists the table behind $23,084,320. The all-ZIP index ranks other codes. The donor directory is the name-level path. Cycle splits, party labels, and occupation tallies are omitted because they are not packet facts. A mean near $863 follows from division and is not a median Financial District resident.

Downtown Manhattan as a reporting address

Civic Center and Seaport mail includes government-adjacent offices and committee boxes as well as apartments. $23,084,320 across 26,740 lines should be read as a tagged FEC sum, not as “the neighborhood gave.” Open the hub table before treating the mean as typical. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside the total. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a New York race. Repeat givers can occupy many of the 26,740 lines. Recheck the live extract after large filings. If it disagrees with $23,084,320 or 26,740, the newer FEC.gov file wins. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
