Federal contributions from ZIP 63105

Clayton dollars and 71,027 lines

$52,589,494 divided by 71,027 is about $740 per itemized line. That mean sits with other high-volume inner-ring ZIPs: many rows, dollars in the low $50 millions, no median in the packet. The average is a ratio of two FEC counts, not a typical Clayton household check.

Seventy-one thousand twenty-seven itemizations is a long receipt list. Repeat gifts, workplace itemizations in a county-seat office grid, and bundled events can all add rows. 71,027 is a contribution-line total, not a headcount of people who live near Forsyth.

LobbyVault does not attach a party share to $52,589,494. Occupation and employer strings are other views. This page stays on the ZIP roll-up.

Clayton’s five-digit key is 63105 on every row inside $52,589,494. Cite 71,027 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted. This packet does not publish a unique-donor count. Neighboring 63124 is a separate key.

County-seat ZIP versus household giving

63105 covers Clayton, a mixed commercial and residential inner-ring city. A contributor who lists a Central Avenue office, a residential address, or a committee that files 63105 adds to $52,589,494 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving misstates the field.

The 71,027-line count includes memo entries. This guide does not invent a unique-donor figure the packet omitted.

Clayton’s $52,589,494 total is an FEC itemized-receipt roll-up, not a county-seat budget and not a poll. 71,027 is the matching line count on the same extract.

Scope of the 63105 slice

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $52,589,494. Missouri state campaign reports never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter it. Cite the figure only as FEC itemized receipts tagged 63105.

Amendments can still move a high-volume inner-ring ZIP. Recheck the ZIP 63105 FEC page after a restatement. Compare harvest dates before calling two totals a conflict.
