A midterm cut of a housing-label string
Searchers who want “real estate in 2014” need both the label and the year. The intersection is $3,169,443. Named keys such as Baron Real Estate or Ose Properties are other rows. NAR PAC disbursements are committee activity. This join stays on individual receipts whose employer field grouped to Real Estate in 2014.
Six hundred one donors and 2,327 lines average about 3.9 receipts per donor. Average line size is about $1,362. Average per donor is about $5,274. Those midterm ratios sit close to small-dollar occupation patterns: many people, modest itemized gifts, several committees each.
A midterm occupation cut is easy to treat as leftover. $3,169,443, 2,327 lines, and 601 donors are not leftover. They are the Real Estate string in 2014, 4.8% of the same $66,412,750 roll that the 2012 Real Estate join also slices. This file’s counts are 2014 only. Named brokerages such as Baron Real Estate and Ose Properties stay on their own pages. Realtors PAC disbursements stay on committee schedules. The occupation word plus the congressional year is the whole join.
4.8% of $66.4 million
The industry total $66,412,750 is shared with other Real Estate cycle pages. 2014’s $3,169,443 is 4.8% of that stack. A 2012 Real Estate tie is a separate cell. This file does not import 2012’s contribution counts. Adding midterm and presidential cells still would not exhaust the $66.4 million; other years remain.
The industry hub is the year index. This page exists so the midterm is not treated as leftover noise after a presidential file.
