ZIP 60614: $204.3 million on 137,092 FEC receipts

Lincoln Park dollars next to a long line list

$204,296,337 divided by 137,092 is about $1,490 per itemized line. The mean is close to 60611’s, on a slightly shorter list. That similarity is a filing-shape observation, not a finding that the two neighborhoods “gave the same way.” Each ZIP is a separate FEC key. This page cites only 60614: $204,296,337 and 137,092.

One hundred thirty-seven thousand ninety-two itemizations is a volume ZIP. Repeat gifts, household pairs, and any committee that files a Lincoln Park address add rows. This packet has no unique-donor count. Do not treat 137,092 as a headcount of Lincoln Park residents.

LobbyVault does not publish a party split on $204,296,337. Ward politics, aldermanic races, and Illinois state campaigns are outside this federal ZIP roll-up. The source is FEC.gov itemized receipts tagged 60614.

A residential ZIP that still mixes entity types

60614 is often treated as a household ZIP. That reputation does not strip PAC and joint-fundraising rows out of $204,296,337. A committee that lists a Clark Street or Armitage address still posts 60614 when that is the ZIP on Schedule A. The accurate sentence remains a ZIP roll-up, not a resident census.

The 137,092-line count can include memo entries and redesignations. Open named receipts on the ZIP 60614 FEC page if you need committees. This guide will not guess the mix from the mean.

Exclusions from $204,296,337

Unitemized federal gifts never enter. Illinois state-office filings never enter. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter, even if they mention a Chicago candidate. Cite $204,296,337 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 60614.

Amendments can move both dollars and the 137,092-line count. Recheck the live ZIP 60614 FEC page after a large restatement. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Itemized-only scope still needs repeating on a high-volume residential-looking ZIP. $204,296,337 never includes unitemized federal gifts, and it never includes state-office money from Lincoln Park, Chicago. A newspaper that adds those systems to $204,296,337 has left FEC.gov. This page stays on the Commission’s itemized receipts tagged 60614.

60614 in the ZIP ranking, not a ward ranking

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same FEC series. Other Chicago codes appear as separate rows. Adding 60614 to 60611 or 60603 creates a homemade Chicago total that FEC.gov did not publish on this page. Compare 137,092 lines against peers as filing shape. FEC.gov does not score which park is more politically intense.

Dollar rank and line-count rank diverge on ZIP 60614. 137,092 receipts against $204,296,337 is the pairing that describes filing shape. A peer ZIP with similar dollars and one-tenth the lines is a different mix, not a more generous town. FEC.gov does not score generosity.

Where to read the underlying filings

The ZIP 60614 FEC page holds $204,296,337 and 137,092 as currently indexed. The all-ZIP directory ranks other codes. The donor directory lists names on itemized rows. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. No brownstone or lakefront narrative is attached to the ZIP field.

The live ZIP 60614 FEC page can disagree with this snapshot after an amendment. Joint-fundraising restatements are the usual reason a high-volume residential-looking total moves. When the numbers differ, the later FEC.gov extract controls. LobbyVault indexes; it does not freeze $204,296,337.

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 60614 total $204,296,337 across 137,092 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 60614?

LobbyVault counts 137,092 itemized contributions for ZIP 60614. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 137,092 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $204,296,337.

Does ZIP 60614 include only residents of Lincoln Park, Chicago?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in Lincoln Park, Chicago can be part of $204,296,337 when 60614 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 137,092-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 60614 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $204,296,337 and 137,092 lines for ZIP 60614. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from Lincoln Park, Chicago are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
