Studio City, CA and the 2012 FEC election cycle

Reading $134,600 as a two-table overlap

Two public tables meet here. One groups itemized individual receipts by donor city. The other groups the same receipts by even-year FEC cycle. Where Studio City, CA and 2012 overlap, the packet stores $134,600 and 41 contributions. That is smaller than the city lifetime figure $94,936,047 and is not a statewide California total for 2012.

Arithmetic mean per line is about $3,283. That mean is $134,600 divided by 41. It is not a median, not a typical-donor portrait, and not a contribution limit. FEC itemization thresholds and committee reporting rules sit outside this packet. If a live overlay disagrees with $134,600, treat the live table as current and this JSON as a snapshot.

$94,936,047 across cycles on city key STUDIO CITY

Keep Studio City, CA geographically tight. California campaign-finance pages mix many cities. This join uses one city key and one cycle. If a filer in a nearby town used a different city string, those dollars are not in $134,600.

Studio City is stored as STUDIO CITY in California. Los Angeles, Sherman Oaks, and Burbank are other city keys. The city lifetime total $94,936,047 is likewise limited to STUDIO CITY. It is not a metro statistical-area total and not a county total. County and MSA rolls are not in the facts.

Two-year tagging for cycle 2012

FEC even-year labels are not the same grain as a January–December calendar year. The 2012 tag is a two-year FEC election-cycle window (the even year and the odd year paired with it). This packet does not split 2011 from 2012. Primary dates, runoff dates, and general-election dates also do not split $134,600 in this file.

The 41 lines are not labeled as primary versus general in the facts. They are not labeled as candidate versus PAC versus party committee in the facts. Recipient-side pages exist elsewhere; this join stays on city × cycle.

PAC money, awards, and unitemized gifts

Correlation of a city and a cycle is not causation. $134,600 does not prove that local events in Studio City caused giving, or that 2012 national contests caused giving. The table records matching form fields. Treat the number as a public-record cell. Unitemized receipts, if any, would raise a true economic-support figure above $134,600; this file does not estimate that gap.

Internal links for this city-cycle tie

Do not cite this page as a donor list. Do not cite it as a ranking of California cities. Cite it as a city-cycle aggregate: $134,600, 41 lines, Studio City, CA, 2012, FEC.gov. Share language, if used, must say 0.14% of the stored Studio City total $94,936,047, not 0.14% of national 2012 receipts.

Numbers this file is allowed to repeat

The first sentence of this article led with $134,600. The last section returns to it so the join cannot be misread as a city profile or a cycle profile. Studio City, CA without 2012 is $94,936,047. 2012 without Studio City, CA is a different hub. Together they are $134,600 from 41 itemized lines. That is the entire authorized story. Restating without new facts: Studio City, CA in 2012 is $134,600 from 41 itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov. The city string stores $94,936,047 across cycles, so this window is about 0.14% and other windows hold $94,801,447. Arithmetic mean per line is about $3,283. Unique donors, recipient committees, party split, and USAspending dollars are not in the packet. Live overlays at the city hub, the 2012 hub, and All FEC ties outrank this snapshot if they differ. Keep both join sides in any reuse of $134,600: donor city Studio City, CA and FEC cycle 2012, sourced from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts. The 41 contribution lines are volume for this cell only and are not added to counts from other Studio City cycle pages. City lifetime money $94,936,047 already includes the 2012 window; do not add $134,600 to $94,936,047.

Questions

How much did Studio City donors give in 2012?

FEC individual-contribution aggregates assign $134,600 to donor city STUDIO CITY in CA during cycle 2012. Volume is 41 itemized lines. This is not PAC spending and not a federal award total. Other even-year windows for Studio City are other pages; they are not mixed into $134,600.

What share of Studio City FEC money is 2012?

The 2012 window holds $134,600 of $94,936,047 recorded for Studio City, CA, roughly 0.14%. The 2012 tag is a two-year FEC election-cycle window (the even year and the odd year paired with it). This packet does not split 2011 from 2012. Because the city total already includes 2012, adding the slice to the lifetime total would double-count.

Is Los Angeles folded into Studio City?

The packet does not merge look-alike city names. Studio City, CA is one key. Same-name cities in other states are other pages. ZIP codes filed with a different city string are out of $134,600 even if the ZIP sits in Studio City.

Where are the Studio City and 2012 overlay pages?

Four packet links cover the overlays: /cities/ca-studio-city/, /election-cycles/2012/, /states/CA/, and /ties/. No additional URLs are authorized. If you need another cycle of Studio City, that is a different city-cycle slug, not an extra href here. FEC.gov is the source for $134,600, 41 contributions, and the $94,936,047 city total on Studio City, CA.
