Providence × Dimeo Construction Co: dollars versus rows
Dollars and rows can move in different directions in other joins; here they are simply $10,000 and 1 for the grouping, $39,517,814 and 116868 for the city. under 0.1% uses dollars. A receipt share would use 1 and 116868 as a raw ratio of packet counts, still not unique people.
A single harvested donor produced the grouping file in Providence. Repeat itemizations explain why receipts (1) and donors (1) can differ. Both numbers are in the packet; both should be quoted.
File-structure reading: receipts (1) count itemized lines; donors (1) count harvested unique donors in this extract; city contributions (116868) count every itemized line that stored PROVIDENCE. Mixing those denominators produces a false typical gift. Use $10,000 only with the receipt denominator and $10,000 only with the donor denominator. A single harvested donor is still not a named roster. Providence is stored as PROVIDENCE in Rhode Island; Cranston, Warwick, and Pawtucket remain separate keys. Rhode Island campaign finance mixes other cities; this URL does not. Independent expenditures remain another FEC file.
Questions
- Where do Dimeo Construction Co and Providence, RI overlap in FEC data?
- On itemized individual contribution rows that stored both DIMEO CONSTRUCTION CO and PROVIDENCE. Those rows sum to $10,000 across 1 receipt from 1 donor. The city hub without the industry filter remains $39,517,814 on 116868 lines. Original filings are on FEC.gov. Labels are filer-entered.
- Why is the Dimeo Construction Co share of Providence only under 0.1%?
- Because the key is an exact string. Most of the $39,517,814 Providence book used other employer labels (100.0%). under 0.1% is a table identity, not proof the trade is absent. Do not recode DIMEO CONSTRUCTION CO into a sector and then treat under 0.1% as that sector's weight.
- Does this page name the Dimeo Construction Co donors in Providence?
- No. The packet publishes 1 donor as a harvested count, not a roster. This prose does not invent names, committees, parties, or cycles. $10,000 on 1 receipt is the numeric join. Live hubs control if a later FEC extract revises the count.
- Are Providence Dimeo Construction Co gifts the same as local candidate spending?
- No. Donor city PROVIDENCE is an address field. Recipients can be committees anywhere in the FEC system. $10,000 is not spending by Providence candidates and is not a Rhode Island office filing total. Independent expenditures are another FEC table and are omitted here.
