Federal contributions from ZIP 43215

Downtown dollars and 42,658 lines

$54,282,483 divided by 42,658 is about $1,273 per itemized line. That mean is higher than several high-volume Midwest ZIPs and lower than concentration files with a few thousand rows. It remains a ratio of two FEC counts. The packet publishes no median and no unique-donor figure.

Forty-two thousand six hundred fifty-eight itemizations is a mid-volume stream for a ZIP near $54 million. Large transfers can still sit inside $54,282,483. Line volume does not prove the money is small-dollar.

LobbyVault does not treat 43215 as a Capitol Square political score. Employer and recipient-committee fields sit elsewhere. This page stays on the two packet facts.

Downtown Columbus’s five-digit key is 43215 on every row inside $54,282,483. Cite 42,658 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted. This packet does not publish a unique-donor count. Neighboring Columbus codes are separate keys.

Core Columbus ZIP as a filing address

43215 covers downtown Columbus mail. A contributor who lists a High Street office, a residential address in the same grid, or a committee that files 43215 adds to $54,282,483 when that ZIP is on the itemization. The accurate label is tagged federal receipts, not “what downtown residents gave.”

The 42,658-line count includes repeat gifts and memo entries. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted.

What stays outside $54,282,483

Unitemized federal gifts never appear. Ohio state campaign reports never appear. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never appear, even if the ad names a statewide candidate. $54,282,483 is the 43215 slice of FEC itemized receipts only.

Amendments in a downtown ZIP can be large. Recheck the ZIP 43215 FEC page after a restatement rather than freezing $54,282,483. Compare extract dates before treating two totals as a conflict.

The all-ZIP directory uses the same FEC series. Other Columbus codes may show more lines and a lower mean. Those contrasts describe filing shape, not which neighborhood is more partisan. FEC.gov does not score neighborhoods.
