ZIP 45243: $48.6 million in FEC itemized receipts

Thirty-six thousand lines, a four-figure mean

$48,552,701 divided by 36,062 is about $1,346 per itemized line. That mean sits above volume ZIPs with 100,000-plus rows and similar dollars. It is not a median. FEC.gov did not publish a typical-gift figure for 45243. LobbyVault reports the dollar sum and the contribution count.

Thirty-six thousand sixty-two itemizations is a mid-size list. It is large enough to be a real filing stream and small enough that a few committee rows still matter. Both facts belong in any citation of $48,552,701. No party share is attached to the total.

A mean near $1,346 on 36,062 lines sits above many volume ZIPs with similar dollars. That placement is filing shape, not a ranking of civic energy. Keep $48,552,701 and 36,062 in the same citation so a reader can redo the division.

What the 45243 ZIP field stores

Schedule A stores a five-digit contributor ZIP. A PAC, a joint fundraising committee, or an individual who lists 45243 will add to $48,552,701 when that is the ZIP on the receipt. FEC.gov does not mark which rows are homes. This aggregate therefore cannot be cited as resident-only giving in 45243.

The 36,062 figure counts itemized lines. Repeat contributors add lines. Redesignations and memo entries can add lines. This packet has no unique-donor count, so this guide does not invent a headcount of people behind 45243.

Researchers comparing 45243 to volume ZIPs with similar dollars should keep both packet facts in the same sentence. $48,552,701 without 36,062 hides whether the total is a long list or a short list. 36,062 without $48,552,701 hides scale. FEC.gov published both.

What $48,552,701 leaves out

Unitemized federal gifts below the itemization threshold never enter this total. Ohio state campaign filings never enter it. Independent expenditures paid by a committee with a different ZIP never enter it, even if the advertisement mentions a Cincinnati-area race. $48,552,701 is itemized federal receipts tagged 45243, sourced from FEC.gov.

Amended reports can still move a ZIP total. After a large restatement, use the live ZIP 45243 FEC page rather than treating $48,552,701 as a frozen figure. This prose is a snapshot of the aggregate indexed on LobbyVault.

Itemized-only scope still needs repeating. $48,552,701 never includes unitemized federal gifts and never includes Ohio state-office money. Mixing those systems with this ZIP total leaves FEC.gov. This page stays on itemized receipts tagged 45243.

45243 among other ZIP totals

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same FEC series by dollars. Other codes will appear on the same screen with different line counts. A ZIP with more receipts and a lower mean is not more grassroots. A ZIP with fewer receipts and a higher mean is not more captured. Compare $48,552,701 and 36,062 against peers as filing shape.

Dollar rank and line-count rank can diverge. 36,062 receipts against $48,552,701 is the pairing that describes this code. FEC.gov does not score generosity.

Cycle coverage in the underlying bulk files can span more than one election. This guide does not invent a cycle list because the packet does not include one. Treat $48,552,701 as the ZIP roll-up on the extract LobbyVault indexed, then confirm the live hub if you need a dated window.

Source and follow-on tables

LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov bulk data. The ZIP 45243 FEC page is the live table behind $48,552,701 and 36,062. The all-ZIP directory ranks other five-digit codes. The donor directory lists names on itemized rows across ZIPs. If a later extract disagrees with the printed numbers, the Commission’s filing controls.

How to cite 45243 without inflating a neighborhood

The accurate sentence is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 45243 total $48,552,701 across 36,062 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Office addresses can share the same five digits as homes. The packet does not split them.

Because unique donors are not in this packet, 36,062 stays a line count. Researchers who need persons must match names on the ZIP 45243 FEC page rather than dividing $48,552,701 by a guessed household count. The mean of about $1,346 is arithmetic only.
