Federal contributions from ZIP 10178

Two thousand seven hundred fifty-four lines, $20.8 million

$20,794,821 divided by 2,754 is about $7,551 per itemized line. That is filing shape, not a typical Midtown household. A short list with a four-figure mean usually means large Schedule A rows — firm letterhead, committee transfers, or memo entries — dominate the roll-up.

Two thousand seven hundred fifty-four is still a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new people. It is also not a single check. This packet has no donor headcount and no size bands.

Do not read $7,551 as what a typical payer gave. Sort the ZIP 10178 FEC page by amount. A few large rows can account for most of $20,794,821 while smaller itemizations fill out 2,754.

A Midtown unique ZIP, not a neighborhood census

10178 is a Manhattan unique / firm ZIP rather than a broad residential grid. FEC.gov stores the five digits as typed on Schedule A. A committee, or a contributor who listed a 10178 building, adds to $20,794,821 when that ZIP is on the itemization.

Searchers who treat 10178 as a residential neighborhood will misread the field. Unique ZIPs often concentrate office and committee letterhead. The packet does not split residents from committees. The legal field is the string 10178 as filed.

Why a short Midtown list still needs the field rule

A 2,754-line ZIP with a $7,551 mean is exactly the pattern where a few large Schedule A rows can move the headline. The total is the contributor ZIP as filed, not a census of people who live near Grand Central. Do not convert $20,794,821 into a Midtown giving rank.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $20,794,821. New York state filings that never reach the FEC never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP do not move this receipt total.

What $20,794,821 leaves out

Cite $20,794,821 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 10178, from FEC.gov. Mixing state races or unitemized federal gifts with this sum double-counts some activity and misses other activity.

Amended reports can still shift $20,794,821 and 2,754. On a short list, a single restated transfer can move the mean by thousands of dollars. Recheck the ZIP 10178 FEC page after a restatement. Compare extract dates before treating two published totals as a contradiction.

Reading the 10178 hub

Open the ZIP 10178 FEC page for $20,794,821 and 2,754 as currently indexed. Sort by amount first. With 2,754 rows, the largest itemizations are inspectable. Use the all-ZIP directory to compare codes and the donor directory for names on those rows.

The accurate citation is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 10178 total $20,794,821 across 2,754 contributions, per FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $7,551 describes filing shape. Unique donors are not in the packet. Party is not in the packet. Do not add 10178 to 10017 or 10165 into an East Midtown total on this page.

Citing a Midtown unique ZIP without a neighborhood rank

Quote 10178 as a short-list, large-row ZIP: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 10178 total $20,794,821 across 2,754 contributions, per FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $7,551 is $20,794,821 ÷ 2,754. That is filing shape on a Manhattan unique ZIP, not a typical Midtown household. Sort the ZIP 10178 FEC page by amount; with 2,754 rows the largest itemizations are inspectable.

Do not add 10178 to 10017, 10165, or 10170 into an East Midtown total on this page. Unique ZIPs are separate keys. New York state filings sit outside $20,794,821. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside it. On 2,754 lines, one restated transfer can move the mean by thousands of dollars. Recheck the live hub after amendments. Named receipts answer identity; this guide answers only the ZIP string and the two packet facts.

A researcher who only quotes $20,794,821 without 2,754 hides the $7,551 mean that makes this Midtown unique ZIP a short-list roll-up. Quote both. If a committee later amends the ZIP field on a large firm row, both figures move. Recheck the ZIP 10178 FEC page.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 10178?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 10178 total $20,794,821 across 2,754 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Midtown residents. The mean of about $7,551 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Why does ZIP 10178 have so few FEC contributions?

LobbyVault counts 2,754 itemized contributions for ZIP 10178 against $20,794,821. That is a short line list for this dollar band. 10178 is a Manhattan unique ZIP; firm and committee addresses can concentrate large rows. The packet does not split those rows from individual itemizations.

Does ZIP 10178 include only people who live in Midtown?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses tagged 10178 can be part of $20,794,821 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 2,754-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 10178 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $20,794,821 and 2,754 lines for ZIP 10178. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. New York state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
