$236,250 at the Newport Beach, CA × 2014 intersection

Divide the two numbers and the mean line is about $2,716. Keep that ratio in its lane: it is $236,250 divided by 87, not a household survey and not a median gift.

Across cycles, NEWPORT BEACH in CA totals $91,059,268. $236,250 is 0.3% of that book; $90,823,018 is the other 99.7%. A small or large share does not grade the city. It only locates this even-year tag inside a multi-cycle stack. Later or earlier cycles for the same city string live on other tie URLs.

2014 is a midterm election cycle. Federal cycles are two-year FEC windows, not a January-to-December census of Orange County, California. National 2014 activity — every city — lives on the cycle hub. California-wide activity lives on the state hub. This page keeps the filter pair.

All-cycle Newport Beach, CA dollars versus this window

$91,059,268 answers “how much itemized individual money has this city string produced in the extract?” $236,250 answers “how much of that carried cycle 2014?” Those are different questions. 0.3% is the second divided by the first. 99.7% is the rest.

Keep CA on the city name. Newport Beach in another state would be a different slug and a different dollar stack. Irvine, Costa Mesa, and Laguna Beach illustrate the split: those coastal and inland neighbors are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into NEWPORT BEACH. The Newport Beach, CA hub remains the all-cycle door; this URL remains the 2014 door.

Presidential versus midterm labeling for 2014

A midterm FEC cycle: a two-year window labeled by its even year, without a presidential general on the ballot. Inside it, Newport Beach, CA itemized $236,250. Outside it, the same city string still has $90,823,018 in other tags. The midterm label does not allocate $236,250 by presidential versus down-ballot committees; that split is not in the packet.

Two-year windows overlap calendar years. A gift dated in the odd year before 2014 can still carry the 2014 tag. Do not treat $236,250 as “calendar 2014 only.” Treat it as FEC cycle 2014 for city NEWPORT BEACH.

That label is a two-year FEC window, not a reason the dollars moved and not a ranking of Orange County, California against other places.
