High-repeat clinical title, a $165 mean

$10,539,916, 63,922 itemizations, and 2,557 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $165. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,122. Repeat giving is about 25 itemizations per donor record.

63,922 lines from 2,557 records is a high-repeat clinical-title stack. The $165 per-line mean is arithmetic on that volume, not a typical visit fee redirected to politics.

The packet has no small-animal versus large-animal split, no DVM field, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can lift the average while most lines remain smaller.

VETERINARIAN is not a AVMA membership list

The FEC record does not verify that the donor holds a veterinary license. Technicians, retirees, and people using a related clinic title can sit on other keys. Best-efforts rules do not force a medical taxonomy.

This page cites only $10,539,916, 63,922 contributions, and 2,557 donors. PHYSICIAN and other clinical strings remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.
