Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 48009

Dollars and rows for ZIP 48009

$34,526,256 is the itemized federal receipt sum tagged 48009 in this LobbyVault aggregate. 54,790 is the matching line count. Divide them and the mean is about $630 per itemization. That mean describes filing shape. It does not describe a median resident and it does not name payers.

Fifty-four thousand seven hundred ninety rows is a long list. It is still not unique people. Repeat gifts can stack. This packet has no donor headcount, so 54,790 stays a contribution-line total from FEC.gov.

The ZIP field versus a place census

FEC itemizations store contributor ZIP as a five-digit string. 48009 on a row means that string was filed. It does not prove legal residence, voter registration, or that the payer’s household sits in the same USPS delivery area every day. $34,526,256 follows the filed string.

Recoding 48009 into a city or a three-digit prefix is a different dataset. LobbyVault reports the five-digit roll-up. The all-ZIP directory is the place to compare other codes on the same series, not to merge them into $34,526,256.

What sits outside $34,526,256

Unitemized federal contributions are omitted. Non-federal campaigns that never file with the FEC are omitted. Independent expenditures paid under another ZIP are omitted. Mixing those tables with the 48009 receipt total double-counts some activity and misses other activity.

Amended Schedule A rows can still move $34,526,256 and 54,790. Recheck the ZIP 48009 FEC page after large filings. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Methodology for this page is narrow on purpose. The only numbers cited are $34,526,256, 54,790, and the mean of about $630 computed from those two packet facts. No other dollar figure, year, or unique-donor count is introduced. FEC.gov is named as the source of the itemized receipts; LobbyVault is named as the index that rolls contributor ZIP 48009 into a hub at /zip-codes/48009/. Internal links stay inside the packet list: the ZIP hub, the all-ZIP directory, and the donor directory. Readers who need a committee name must open receipts on the hub rather than expect this overlay to list them. If this snapshot and the live table diverge, the live table from the newer extract is the figure to quote.

Working the 48009 hub

Open the ZIP 48009 FEC page for the current $34,526,256 and 54,790. Sort by amount if you need to see large lines inside the ~$630 mean. Title and H1 should match the table. If they do not, the hub was rebuilt; trust the table over this paragraph.

The donor directory lists names on itemized rows. Use it when you need people. It does not supply a de-duplicated donor count for 48009 in this packet.

How to cite 48009

The accurate citation is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 48009 total $34,526,256 across 54,790 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $630 is optional arithmetic. Unique donors are not in the packet. Party is not in the packet.

Do not write that “the ZIP donated $34,526,256” as if the code were a person. The code is a field. The money is a sum of itemized rows labeled 48009.

54,790 rows as a research object

Treat 54,790 as a file size. ZIP 48009’s hub is a long table. Filtering and sorting on the live page is the only way to see which committees and amounts sit inside $34,526,256. This guide cannot list them; they are not in the packet.

A $630 mean on 54,790 lines is compatible with many modest itemizations and a thin tail of large ones. Confirm the tail on the hub. Do not publish a tail share: the packet has no size bands.

$34,526,256 is not independent-expenditure spending, not state-campaign money, and not a count of households. Keep those exclusions next to the number when the audience is likely to treat ZIP as a town. Treat ZIP 48009 as a long table first and a prose object second. 54,790 rows totaling $34,526,256 will not be summarized into a donor personality in this guide because the packet has no unique-donor count, no median, and no size bands. The $630 mean is arithmetic. Sorting on the ZIP 48009 FEC page is how a researcher sees whether a tail of large lines sits inside $34,526,256. This overlay will not preview that tail. It will repeat that 48009 is a filed five-digit contributor ZIP on FEC.gov itemizations, that 54,790 is contributions rather than people, and that unitemized federal gifts plus non-federal campaigns sit outside $34,526,256. The all-ZIP directory compares other keys. The donor directory lists names. Neither directory rewrites these two packet facts.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 48009?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 48009 total $34,526,256 across 54,790 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count. Unitemized gifts sit outside $34,526,256. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 48009?

LobbyVault counts 54,790 itemized contributions for ZIP 48009. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. The matching dollar total is $34,526,256, a mean near $630.

Can I treat ZIP 48009 as a neighborhood giving total?

Not from the five-digit field alone. 48009 is the contributor ZIP as filed on the itemization. LobbyVault does not recode it into a residential-only book. $34,526,256 and 54,790 follow the filed string. Open named receipts on the hub if you need committees.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 48009 totals?

From FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $34,526,256 and 54,790 lines. Non-federal campaigns and unitemized federal gifts are outside both numbers. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The $630 mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts.
