Two words, higher mean than many trades

$30,023,152, 31,912 itemizations, and 3,779 donor records describe this occupation filter. Mean contribution size is about $941. Mean dollars per donor record is about $7,945. Repeat giving is about 8 itemizations per donor record.

The per-line mean sits above high-volume professional labels and below the most concentrated dual-executive keys. Repeat giving is relatively low compared with occupations that post thirty-plus lines per donor record.

These means are arithmetic. The packet has no median and no firm-level split.
