  • Mean itemized amount is about $441.

Downtown and the lower east side, not the North Shore

Fifty-one thousand eight hundred twenty-two itemized receipts add to $22,833,052. The mean is about $441 per line ($22,833,052 / 51,822). Milwaukee searchers often collapse lakefront codes. 53202 is downtown and the lower east side. 53217 is the North Shore village cluster. They are different hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Do not add those totals to $22,833,052.

Downtown mail mixes offices, apartments, and committee boxes. The FEC field does not split those uses. Sort the ZIP 53202 FEC page by amount. This packet has no unique-donor count. Cite 51,822 as receipts, not as east-side residents.

A $441 mean on 51,822 lines is a mid-volume city shape. Large committee rows, if present, sit in a tail that tens of thousands of lines can hide. Downtown Milwaukee and the North Shore are both lakefront and not the same ZIP. 53202’s facts are $22,833,052 and 51,822 receipts. Committee boxes in commercial buildings can sit in the tail. Sort the ZIP 53202 FEC page by amount. 53217 remains a multi-village object on a different page. Do not add them.

Wisconsin state filings sit outside

Wisconsin Ethics Commission campaign-finance reports for state office sit outside $22,833,052. Keep the federal ZIP total as a federal ZIP total. Mixing state and FEC money invents a Milwaukee figure this packet does not contain.

Employer strings live on individual receipts. This rollup does not tally downtown professional offices. Quoting $22,833,052 as an industry total substitutes a ZIP for an employer table. Downtown offices and lower-east-side apartments share 53202. Fifty-one thousand eight hundred twenty-two receipts can include committee boxes in commercial buildings. $22,833,052 is the tagged sum. Sort the ZIP 53202 FEC page by amount before treating the $441 mean as a household gift. The North Shore’s 53217 hub covers several villages. This downtown tag does not. Do not add those totals. Rank both on the all-ZIP index. $22,833,052 remains the 53202 tag.

What 53202 is not

The aggregate is not a City of Milwaukee campaign report and not a party score. FEC schedules do not score ZIP codes by ideology. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $22,833,052. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Wisconsin race.

The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP as filed. A downtown workplace can share 53202 with an east-side apartment. Itemized federal receipts are the only rows in $22,833,052. Small gifts that never itemized do not appear. Fifty-one thousand eight hundred twenty-two lines can still omit that activity. Recheck the live ZIP 53202 FEC page after the next extract.

Lakefront codes without a homemade city total

Hold $22,833,052 next to 51,822 lines. The North Shore’s 53217 hub is a different object with its own packet. The all-ZIP index is the ranking surface. This packet does not assign 53202 a national rank.

Cycle windows matter even when this packet does not print a cycle year. Recheck the live hub after large filings. If a later extract disagrees with $22,833,052 or 51,822, the newer FEC.gov file wins.

Where to continue from 53202

The ZIP 53202 FEC page lists the table behind $22,833,052. The all-ZIP index ranks other codes. The donor directory is the name-level path. Cycle splits, party labels, and occupation tallies are omitted because they are not packet facts. A mean near $441 follows from division and is not a median east-side resident.

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside the total. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Wisconsin race. Repeat givers can occupy many of the 51,822 lines. Recheck the live hub after large filings. If it disagrees with $22,833,052 or 51,822, the newer FEC.gov file wins. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
