Federal contributions from ZIP 60202

Evanston’s $12,911,254 federal roll-up

$12,911,254 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 60202 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. Illinois State Board of Elections filings and Evanston municipal races sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $12.9M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household north of Chicago spent.

Fifty-six thousand one rows is a high-volume file among ZIPs near $13 million. A long list can still hide large committee transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 60202. Cook County geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $12,911,254. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a North Shore political score. Readers who want named payees, dates, or employer strings should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the line count alone. The supported facts are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition.

56,001 lines, no unique-donor roster

The extract lists 56,001 contributions for 60202. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide does not invent how many people sit behind Evanston filings. A file this long at $12.9M is a high-volume ZIP: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

Scanning 56,001 rows by eye is impractical. Sort the ZIP 60202 FEC page by amount to see whether $12,911,254 is spread across many names or concentrated in a few payees. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. Keep 60202 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as an Evanston headcount.

60202 as a contributor ZIP

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. Dempster Street offices, lakefront household rows, and committee mail in south Evanston can share the code. Quote $12.9M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure. Swap that phrase for “Evanston residents spent” only if the hub rows actually support it.

The packet has no residency filter beyond the ZIP box. A contributor who lists an Evanston address, or a committee that files 60202, adds to the same roll-up when that ZIP is on the itemization. Neighboring 60201 and 60203 are separate keys.

Pulling 60202 itemizations

The ZIP 60202 FEC page is the itemized table behind $12,911,254 and 56,001 contributions. The all-ZIP index is the comparison catalog. The donor directory searches names across the FEC file. FEC.gov is the originating system. LobbyVault indexes the ZIP field so the packet facts can be quoted without assembling Schedule A reports by hand.

Rogers Park, Wilmette, and Skokie use different keys; do not add them to 60202. Open the hub for committee names, amounts, and dates that this summary does not carry. This guide stays inside the harvested facts and does not add cycle splits, employer roll-ups, or occupation tables that the packet omitted.

Edges of the 60202 total

No unique-donor count, party split, cycle trend, or per-resident ratio appears here. Those facts are not in the packet. Illinois state-office reports are out. Evanston municipal filings are out. So is any unitemized federal gift. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are also out. Cite $12,911,254 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 60202.

Method notes for the 60202 roll-up

LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov itemized receipts and groups them by the five-digit contributor ZIP. For 60202, that group currently totals $12,911,254 on 56,001 lines. $12.9M is the rounded headline. Rounding does not create a new fact. There is no unique-donor field in this packet. Writing one would be invention.

Itemization has a federal threshold. Small unitemized gifts never appear in $12,911,254. State-office reports never appear in $12,911,254. Independent expenditures are a different schedule. If you need neighboring ZIPs, open those hubs separately. Adding them to 60202 without saying so misstates the unit.

Named receipts live on the ZIP 60202 FEC page. The all-ZIP directory is the inventory for rank and peer comparison. FEC.gov remains the controlling source if extracts diverge. Keep the unit of analysis explicit: 60202 is a five-digit contributor ZIP, $12,911,254 is the itemized-dollar total, and 56,001 is the itemized-line total.

Questions

How much did ZIP 60202 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 60202 total $12,911,254 across 56,001 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP.
