A small pool with high dollars per line

31,235 itemizations is a thin stack next to the broader REAL ESTATE key. Against $59,673,284, the mean is about $1,910 per contribution. Against 4,000 donors, the mean is about $14,918 per donor record. About 8 contributions per donor is a modest repeat rate.

That shape is concentration relative to REALTOR, which in this harvest has more lines and a much smaller mean gift. The contrast is between occupation strings, not a verified split between licensed agents and developers.

Developer, builder, and homebuilder are other strings if that is what the donor wrote. This overlay cites only $59,673,284, 31,235 contributions, and 4,000 donors.

Three property titles, three totals

REAL ESTATE, REALTOR, and REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER coexist in the bulk file because donors type different words. A person who used more than one title across gifts appears in more than one occupation total. Combining the three without labeling the sum would mix keys.

Best-efforts collection records the donor’s phrase. There is no building-permit or contractor-license match. Retired developers may still use the long title.
