Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 48304

Mid-volume filing shape on ZIP 48304

Forty-three thousand five hundred sixty-six itemizations against $34,775,254 yields about $798 per line. That sits between high-volume ZIPs with ~$400 means and short lists with multi-thousand means. The average is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median gift and not a unique-donor figure.

43,566 is a contribution-line count. Repeat itemizations, redesignations, and memo entries can lengthen the list without adding people. This packet does not publish a donor headcount. Cite 43,566 as rows tagged 48304 on FEC.gov.

What the $34,775,254 sum includes

LobbyVault adds itemized federal receipts on which committees reported 48304 as the contributor ZIP. FEC.gov stores the string as filed. $34,775,254 is that sum. It is not a party ledger, not independent-expenditure spending from another ZIP, and not a Census of households.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $34,775,254. State-office campaigns that never file with the FEC never enter it. Keep the citation inside itemized Schedule A rows labeled 48304.

How to read 43,566 lines

A mid-volume ZIP still hides size mix. Sort the ZIP 48304 FEC page by amount to see whether a few large rows sit inside $34,775,254 while many smaller lines fill 43,566. The packet does not publish size bands. The hub table is the split.

Do not infer motive from $798. The Commission stored a ZIP string. LobbyVault summed receipts labeled 48304. Names live on the receipts, not in this roll-up. Methodology for this page is narrow on purpose. The only numbers cited are $34,775,254, 43,566, and the mean of about $798 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 48304 into a hub at /zip-codes/48304/. 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.

Hub versus this snapshot

The ZIP 48304 FEC page holds the live $34,775,254 and 43,566. If title, H1, and table disagree with this guide, the newer extract wins. The all-ZIP directory ranks other codes on the same series. Adding 48304 to neighboring codes is a recode you must document.

The donor directory lists names on itemized rows. Use it for people. It does not replace the ZIP total and it does not fill in a unique-donor count missing from this packet.

Citation for ZIP 48304

Write: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 48304 total $34,775,254 across 43,566 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Optional: about $798 per line. Do not convert 43,566 into unique people. Do not convert 48304 into a neighborhood donation census.

Party split is not in the packet. Residence is not proven by the five-digit field. Restated filings can move both numbers; recheck the hub after large reports.

Mid-band dollars, mid-band lines

ZIP 48304 sits in a crowded dollar band near $34,775,254 with 43,566 itemizations. Neighboring codes in the ranked ZIP list can post similar dollars with very different line counts. That is why 43,566 and $798 belong in the same sentence as $34,775,254 whenever the code is cited.

LobbyVault does not publish a year split in this packet. Do not attach $34,775,254 to a cycle that is not in the facts. The source is FEC.gov itemized receipts indexed on LobbyVault, as currently rolled up.

If you need committees, open named receipts on the ZIP 48304 FEC page. If you need other geographies, use the all-ZIP directory. If you need names, use the donor directory. None of those clicks invents a unique-donor count for 48304. ZIP 48304 belongs in citations as a pair of integers, not as a vibe. $34,775,254 across 43,566 itemizations, about $798 per line, is the entire quantitative claim this packet supports. Mid-band dollars next to mid-band lines are easy to flatten into “another $35 million ZIP.” Flattening hides 43,566. Always keep the count. Always keep the five-digit key. Always keep the itemized-only limit. Occupation, employer, and party live on other LobbyVault series and are not folded into $34,775,254. If you need those dimensions, leave the ZIP hub. If you need the current reprint of $34,775,254 and 43,566, stay on /zip-codes/48304/. Guides lag extracts. When they disagree, the table wins.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 48304?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 48304 total $34,775,254 across 43,566 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 $34,775,254. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 48304?

LobbyVault counts 43,566 itemized contributions for ZIP 48304. 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 $34,775,254, a mean near $798.

Does ZIP 48304 on FEC reports mean only local residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the itemization as filed. LobbyVault does not recode 48304 into a residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear. The 43,566-line count follows the same rule as the $34,775,254 sum.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 48304 totals?

From FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $34,775,254 and 43,566 lines. Non-federal campaigns and unitemized federal gifts are outside both numbers. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The $798 mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts.
