Connecticut FEC totals for occupation Commercial Real Estate

Both filters: COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE and state CT

The Connecticut × Commercial Real Estate join is a database match, not a narrative about a profession. $217,696 entered the extract because itemized receipts carried occupation COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE and state CT at the same time. 196 is the matching line count. 17 is the matching donor-key count. $5,718,310 is what remains when the state filter is lifted for the same occupation string.

Dividing $217,696 by 196 yields about $1,111 per contribution. Dividing by 17 yields about $12,806 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 11.5 (196 ÷ 17). Nationally the occupation averages about $332 per gift and 18.0 gifts per donor. Those ratios describe this string, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

How FEC stores Commercial Real Estate as an occupation

What the occupation side includes: itemized individual receipts tagged COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE, summing to $5,718,310 across 17,218 contributions and 959 donors, of which $217,696 is the Connecticut cell. What it excludes: other occupation strings, unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee filings that are not individual contribution aggregates.

Per-gift and per-donor dollars in Connecticut

About $1,111 per contribution is $217,696 divided by 196. About $12,806 per donor is $217,696 divided by 17. About 11.5 gifts per donor is 196 divided by 17. Three ratios, three jobs. Dropping any input turns the ratio into an unsourced claim.

Donor state CT is the address code on the itemized record. Live occupation hubs can move as amended individual reports arrive. If a live hub disagrees with $217,696 or $5,718,310, the newer FEC extract controls.

$217,696 versus $5,718,310

Never write that Commercial Real Estate gave $5,718,310 in Connecticut. $5,718,310 is the national occupation total. Never write that the occupation’s only state is Connecticut unless 3.8% is 100%, which it is not here. $217,696 is the Connecticut cell. The two columns are labeled stateTotal and occupationTotal in the packet for that reason.

3.8% is the only legitimate bridge between the columns. It is a quotient, not a second source. Independent expenditures still sit outside both columns.

FEC receipts are not federal awards

USAspending publishes federal obligations by agency and place. FEC publishes campaign finance. $217,696 does not become an award total because a state appears in both systems. $5,718,310 does not become an award total because an occupation string can be compared with a NAICS title in a researcher’s head. This page never claims receipts funded federal awards.

Internal links remain the four packet hrefs only. No other path is cited. Independent expenditures remain outside the dollar columns used here. COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE is the three-word occupation string. Real Estate alone is a different key. Broker versus owner versus developer is unpublished.

Why this page is not a Commercial Real Estate directory

This page is not a directory of Commercial Real Estate professionals in Connecticut, not a membership list, and not a broker-license file, a NAICS real-estate census, or a property-portfolio roster. 17 is a donor-key count inside one FEC aggregate. Most people who use a similar job title never appear in $217,696.

The four packet links are the only hrefs used: Commercial Real Estate donations, Connecticut campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties. No other URL is cited. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and donor state.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Commercial Real Estate, donor state Connecticut (CT), $217,696 itemized, 196 contributions, 17 donors, 3.8% of $5,718,310 from 959 national donors. COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE is the three-word occupation string. Real Estate alone is a different key. Broker versus owner versus developer is unpublished. Real Estate, Realtor, Broker, and Real Estate Developer stay on other occupation pages. The Connecticut campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

What a reader may not do with $217,696: treat it as payroll, treat 17 as a workforce census, treat 3.8% as a share of Connecticut statewide receipts, or treat the cell as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links. Mean about $1,111 per contribution and $12,806 per donor remain attached to 196 and 17. About 11.5 lines per donor remains 196 divided by 17.
