ZIP 10128: $155.6 million across 241,290 FEC lines

Another high-line UES ZIP

$155,592,124 divided by 241,290 is about $645 per itemized line. That mean is close to 10024’s and well below Midtown commercial ZIPs. 10128 is a long receipt list. Large PAC or joint-fundraising rows can still sit inside $155,592,124. They are diluted in the average by 241,290 lines.

Two hundred forty-one thousand two hundred ninety contributions is an itemization count, not a unique-person count. Repeat givers and household pairs can lengthen the list. This packet has no donor headcount. Cite 241,290 as a contribution-line total.

No party split is published on $155,592,124. Carnegie Hill geography is orientation. It is not an FEC finding about neighborhood ideology. The Commission stores a ZIP string.

Keep 10128 separate from 10021 and 10028

Upper East Side mail codes are separate FEC keys. 10021 and 10028 have their own dollar totals and line counts. This page cites only 10128: $155,592,124 and 241,290. Adding the three ZIPs is a recode. FEC.gov did not publish a combined UES figure here.

A PAC or joint fundraising committee that lists a 10128 address still adds to this total when that ZIP is filed. Household rows add the same way. Open the ZIP 10128 FEC page for named receipts rather than inferring the mix from the mean.

Exclusions from $155,592,124

Unitemized federal gifts never enter. New York State office campaigns never enter. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter. Cite $155,592,124 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 10128, sourced from FEC.gov.

A long line list can absorb small amendments. A restated joint-fundraising block can still move the headline. Recheck the live ZIP 10128 FEC page after large filings. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Committee mail in the Upper East Side north of 86th Street is why the residential reading of $155,592,124 fails. A PAC, a joint fundraising committee, or a work address that lists 10128 is counted. FEC.gov stored the ZIP that was filed. LobbyVault summed it. Recoding those rows out of $155,592,124 would be a new dataset.

10128 in the ZIP ranking

The all-ZIP directory ranks dollars. 10128’s rank on dollars will not match its rank on line count. That mismatch is the lead: 241,290 receipts on $155,592,124 versus concentration ZIPs with a few thousand lines. FEC.gov publishes both shapes. It does not crown a more engaged block.

Independent expenditures mentioning a race near the Upper East Side north of 86th Street can be paid by a committee with a different ZIP. Those disbursements do not move $155,592,124. Mixing independent-expenditure tables with this ZIP total double-counts some activity and misses other activity. Keep the series separate.

Source tables

The ZIP 10128 FEC page holds $155,592,124 and 241,290 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 museum-mile narrative is attached to the ZIP field.

Title, H1, and table on the live hub should show the same $155,592,124 and 241,290 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 10128 without inflating the Upper East Side north of 86th Street

The accurate citation is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 10128 total $155,592,124 across 241,290 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Shorthand such as “the Upper East Side north of 86th Street donated $155,592,124” drops the itemized-only limit and the PAC-address caveat. Keep both limits in the sentence at least once.

A mean of about $645 describes a high-volume ZIP. It does not describe a median resident. Because this packet has no unique-donor count, 241,290 stays a line count. Researchers who need persons must match names on the ZIP 10128 FEC page rather than dividing $155,592,124 by a guessed household count.

ZIP 10128 will keep attracting “how much did Upper East Side 10128 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. $155,592,124 across 241,290 lines is what that field sums to in this aggregate. A mean near $645 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 $155,592,124 or 241,290, the newer FEC extract wins and this snapshot is stale.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 10128?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 10128 total $155,592,124 across 241,290 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 north of 86th Street. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $155,592,124 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 10128?

LobbyVault counts 241,290 itemized contributions for ZIP 10128. 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 241,290 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $155,592,124.

Does ZIP 10128 include only residents of the Upper East Side north of 86th Street?

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 north of 86th Street can be part of $155,592,124 when 10128 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 241,290-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 10128 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $155,592,124 and 241,290 lines for ZIP 10128. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from the Upper East Side north of 86th Street are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $645 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
