Federal contributions from ZIP 33316

Twenty-eight thousand Fort Lauderdale lines

$20,795,612 divided by 28,087 is about $740 per itemized line. South Fort Lauderdale and overlapping harbor-side mail share those five digits on Schedule A. That $740 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical Broward County household.

Twenty-eight thousand eighty-seven itemizations is a long receipt list. Repeat gifts, seasonal-address itemizations, and bundled events can all add rows. 28,087 is not a headcount of people near Port Everglades or the barrier island fringe.

No party share is attached to $20,795,612. 33316 is a geographic key on the contributor record. Cite 28,087 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted.

A harbor-side ZIP on FEC forms

33316 covers south Fort Lauderdale. A contributor who lists a home, a marina-adjacent office, or a committee that files 33316 adds to $20,795,612 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving misstates the field.

The 28,087-line count includes memo entries and redesignations. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted. Florida geography is orientation only.

What $20,795,612 leaves out

Unitemized federal gifts are out. Florida state campaign filings that never reach the FEC are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $20,795,612 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 33316, from FEC.gov.

A Fort Lauderdale ZIP still moves when schedules are amended. Recheck the ZIP 33316 FEC page after a restatement. Compare extract dates before treating two published totals as a contradiction.

33316 next to other Broward codes

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same FEC series. Neighboring Fort Lauderdale codes may show different means on different line counts. Those contrasts describe filing shape. FEC.gov does not score neighborhoods.

Do not add 33316 to another Broward code into a metro total on this page. The file reports one key: 33316, $20,795,612, 28,087 contributions.

LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system. Named receipts answer identity questions this 28,087-line roll-up cannot. The mean of about $740 is $20,795,612 divided by 28,087. Quote the pair. The packet has no unique-donor field.

How researchers should quote 33316

The accurate citation is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 33316 total $20,795,612 across 28,087 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $740 describes filing shape, not a typical south Fort Lauderdale gift. The packet has no median, no unique-donor count, and no party split. Sort the ZIP 33316 FEC page by amount if you need the mix inside $20,795,612.

Harbor-side Broward mail on 33316 is orientation. A home, a marina-adjacent office, or a committee that filed 33316 adds to $20,795,612 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating 28,087 as unique people overstates the roster. Repeat gifts, seasonal addresses, and memo entries lengthen the list without adding payers.

Do not add 33316 to 33301 or 33315 into a Fort Lauderdale total on this page. That recode is a new dataset. Florida state filings sit outside $20,795,612. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside it. If a later extract reprints a different pair, the live hub controls. This guide is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Named receipts on the donor directory answer identity questions this 28,087-line roll-up cannot.

A researcher who only quotes $20,795,612 without 28,087 hides the $740 mean. Quote both. If a committee later amends the ZIP field on a large south Fort Lauderdale row, both figures move. Recheck the ZIP 33316 FEC page. This file is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault, not an amendment log. LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov; it does not replace the Commission’s reports for ZIP 33316.
