Federal contributions from ZIP 55436

Thirty-four thousand Edina-area lines

$21,410,613 divided by 34,148 is about $627 per itemized line. Edina and overlapping southwest Minneapolis-suburb mail share those five digits on Schedule A. That $627 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical Hennepin County household.

Thirty-four thousand one hundred forty-eight itemizations is a long receipt list. Repeat gifts, workplace itemizations, and bundled events can all add rows. 34,148 is not a headcount of people in Edina.

No party share is attached to $21,410,613. 55436 is a geographic key on the contributor record. Cite 34,148 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted.

A Twin Cities suburb ZIP on FEC forms

55436 covers parts of Edina. A contributor who lists a home, an office, or a committee that files 55436 adds to $21,410,613 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving misstates the field.

The 34,148-line count includes memo entries and redesignations. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted. Minnesota geography is orientation only.

What $21,410,613 leaves out

Unitemized federal gifts are out. Minnesota Campaign Finance Board filings that never reach the FEC are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $21,410,613 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 55436, from FEC.gov.

A Twin Cities ZIP still moves when schedules are amended. Recheck the ZIP 55436 FEC page after a restatement. Compare extract dates before treating two published totals as a contradiction.

55436 next to other Minnesota codes

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same FEC series. Neighboring Edina or Minneapolis codes may show different means on different line counts. Those contrasts describe filing shape. FEC.gov does not score neighborhoods.

Do not add 55436 to another southwest-suburb code into a metro total on this page. The file reports one key: 55436, $21,410,613, 34,148 contributions.

LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system. Named receipts answer identity questions this 34,148-line roll-up cannot. The mean of about $627 is $21,410,613 divided by 34,148. Quote the pair. The packet has no unique-donor field.

How researchers should quote 55436

The accurate citation is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 55436 total $21,410,613 across 34,148 contributions, per FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $627 describes filing shape, not a typical Edina gift. The packet has no median, no unique-donor count, and no party split. Sort the ZIP 55436 FEC page by amount if you need the mix inside $21,410,613.

Hennepin County suburban mail on 55436 is orientation, not a split of the dollars. FEC.gov did not tag rows as household versus office. If 55436 is on the itemization, the dollars enter $21,410,613. Treating 34,148 as unique people overstates the roster. Repeat gifts and memo entries lengthen the list without adding payers.

Do not add 55436 to 55424 or 55435 into a southwest-suburb total on this page. That recode is a new dataset. Minnesota Campaign Finance Board filings that never reach the FEC sit outside $21,410,613. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside it. If a later extract reprints a different pair, the live hub controls. This guide is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault, not a forecast of the next restatement.

A researcher who only quotes $21,410,613 without 34,148 hides the $627 mean. Quote both. If a committee later amends the ZIP field on a large Edina row, both figures move. Recheck the ZIP 55436 FEC page. This file is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault, not an amendment log. LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov; it does not replace the Commission’s reports for ZIP 55436. Quote $21,410,613 and 34,148 together.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 55436?

LobbyVault counts 34,148 itemized contributions for ZIP 55436. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $21,410,613. Cite the line count with the matching dollar total, not as a headcount.

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 55436 grid can be part of $21,410,613 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 34,148-line count follows the same rule.
