How does 2014 compare with the rest of Pacific Palisades giving?

2014 is $144,775, 0.22% of the $65,378,619 Pacific Palisades, CA book. Other cycles hold $65,233,844 (99.8%). Those shares use this city aggregate as the denominator. They are not shares of California or of the national 2014 cycle, which are not in these facts.

Are the 87 2014 rows unique Pacific Palisades residents?

No. 87 is a receipt count. The same household can appear more than once, and an office or joint-fundraising address stored as PACIFIC PALISADES can sit beside a home address. LobbyVault does not convert the city field into a Census residency test. Unique-donor counts are not in the packet.

Do these Pacific Palisades dollars fund federal awards?

No. $144,775 is FEC itemized individual contributions. USAspending obligations are a different statute and a different table. This packet has no award dollars, contractor names, or recipient UEIs. A shared geography does not turn campaign receipts into federal spending.

What source backs the Pacific Palisades, CA 2014 figures?

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle. This snapshot stores $144,775 and 87 lines for PACIFIC PALISADES in 2014, plus $65,378,619 for the city string across cycles. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission filing controls.

Filer-entered Pacific Palisades in cycle 2014

The city field is whatever the itemized receipt stored. Pacific Palisades is a Los Angeles neighborhood that filers often store as its own city string. Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Malibu remain separate FEC keys. LobbyVault does not merge those neighboring strings into PACIFIC PALISADES. $144,775 therefore understates a metro and overstates a literal string match — it is a string match, by design.

87 lines is a modest itemized file. Repeat households and office addresses can share the file. Unique residents are not counted here. 2014 is a midterm election cycle; the tag does not interpret the dollars.

The Pacific Palisades, CA hub still shows $65,378,619 across cycles. Other cycles hold $65,233,844 (99.8%). This URL is only Pacific Palisades × 2014.

How the 2014 cycle hub differs

The 2014 election cycle page mixes every donor city in the United States. Pacific Palisades, CA is one of those cities. Pulling $144,775 out of that national mix is the point of this join. Do not treat the cycle hub as a Pacific Palisades directory.

California campaign finance mixes every city in the state and every cycle in the extract. Adding $144,775 to that state total double-counts. All FEC ties is the index of other joins.

Dollars, rows, and omitted tables

$144,775 is itemized federal individual contributions. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, PAC-to-PAC transfers, and state-office filings are omitted. USAspending awards are omitted. No contractor or award recipient is named because none appears in the packet.

Mean $1,664 is $144,775 / 87. It is not a median and not a typical household. Occupation and industry cuts of these receipts are other pages.

0.22% of the city book is not a national share

0.22% uses $65,378,619 as the denominator. It is not Pacific Palisades's share of the 2014 national cycle. That other percentage would need a national cycle total, which this packet does not include. A thin slice of the citywide book still leaves $65,233,844 in other Pacific Palisades, CA cycles.

Internal links on this file are Pacific Palisades, CA, the 2014 election cycle, California campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four. Do not paste $144,775 into a USAspending award story. FEC individual contributions and federal obligations are collected under different statutes, on different forms, for different filers. This packet has no award dollars and no contractor names.

Public-opinion claims, turnout claims, and wealth claims would require fields this packet does not have.
