Federal contributions from ZIP 70810: $14.9M

Southeast Baton Rouge, not the whole parish

$14,850,846 divided by 25,394 is about $585 per itemized line. East Baton Rouge Parish uses many ZIPs. 70810 is one southeast code, not downtown 70802 and not a parishwide total. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count.

Twenty-five thousand three hundred ninety-four contributions is a mid-length list next to coastal ZIPs with 70,000 rows. The mean is correspondingly higher. That is arithmetic, not a story about who lives in 70810. Do not treat 25,394 as a census. LobbyVault does not read $14,850,846 as a Louisiana mood index.

Capitol-region mail on a federal form

Baton Rouge is a state-capital city. Federal itemizations still store a ZIP, not a building type. A firm suite and a household can share 70810. $14,850,846 follows the form. Open the ZIP 70810 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not guess which of the 25,394 rows are households.

Louisiana state-office filings are a different dataset even when the street is the same. Keep 70810 isolated unless you document a cluster of neighboring 708xx codes.

What $14,850,846 does not include

Unitemized federal gifts never enter. Louisiana state-office campaigns never enter. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter, even if they mention a Baton Rouge or 6th District race. Cite $14,850,846 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 70810.

The mean of about $585 is arithmetic, not a median. Amendments can restate large transfers without touching most of the 25,394 small lines. Recheck the live hub after quarterly filings.

Reading 70810 next to the rest of the ZIP directory

The all-ZIP directory exists so 70810 can be placed among other five-digit keys without turning $14,850,846 into a metro story. southeast Baton Rouge sits in East Baton Rouge Parish. Peers include 70808, 70809, and 70806. Each peer has its own total. 25,394 lines at $14,850,846 ($14.9M) is the local shape. A peer with similar dollars and half the rows will show a higher mean; that contrast is the point of keeping keys separate.

Do not build a East Baton Rouge Parish FEC total by addition unless you list every ZIP you included. Louisiana state-office filings still sit outside every one of those keys. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside them too. This packet does not publish a unique-donor count for 70810, so a East Baton Rouge Parish donor census is also out of reach from these facts.
