Filer-entered Rockford in cycle 2010
The city field is whatever the itemized receipt stored. Rockford sits in Winnebago County, Illinois. Chicago, Naperville, and Rockton are other Illinois city fields, not parents of this total. LobbyVault does not merge those neighboring strings into ROCKFORD. $147,612 therefore understates a metro and overstates a literal string match — it is a string match, by design.
185 lines is a relatively large itemized file for this city string. Repeat households and office addresses can share the file. Unique residents are not counted here. 2010 is a midterm election cycle; the tag does not interpret the dollars.
The Rockford, IL hub still shows $15,552,687 across cycles. Other cycles hold $15,405,075 (99.1%). This URL is only Rockford × 2010.
How the 2010 cycle hub differs
The 2010 election cycle page mixes every donor city in the United States. Rockford, IL is one of those cities. Pulling $147,612 out of that national mix is the point of this join. Do not treat the cycle hub as a Rockford directory.
Illinois campaign finance mixes every city in the state and every cycle in the extract. Adding $147,612 to that state total double-counts. All FEC ties is the index of other joins.
Dollars, rows, and omitted tables
$147,612 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 $798 is $147,612 / 185. It is not a median and not a typical household. Occupation and industry cuts of these receipts are other pages.
0.95% of the city book is not a national share
0.95% uses $15,552,687 as the denominator. It is not Rockford's share of the 2010 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 $15,405,075 in other Rockford, IL cycles.
Internal links on this file are Rockford, IL, the 2010 election cycle, Illinois campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four. Do not paste $147,612 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.
Limits
This page does not rank Rockford, does not call 2010 a wave, and does not map receipts onto Illinois candidates. A IL city code is an address field. Amended reports can move either dollar figure. See Rockford, IL, the 2010 election cycle, Illinois campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Source: FEC.gov.
This page does not rank Rockford against other cities, does not call 2010 a wave, and does not treat itemized giving as a proxy for public opinion in Illinois. Two columns matched: city ROCKFORD and cycle 2010. The product of that match is $147,612 on 185 rows. Public-opinion claims, turnout claims, and wealth claims would require fields this packet does not have.
Filer spelling splits metros. A contributor who typed ROCKFORD is inside $147,612. A contributor who typed a neighborhood, a firm city, or a nearby suburb is not recoded into Rockford. Rockford sits in Winnebago County, Illinois. Chicago, Naperville, and Rockton are other Illinois city fields, not parents of this total. Treat 185 as lines that stored this string in 2010, not as a labor-force or voter-file headcount of Rockford, IL.
The live Rockford, IL hub is the place to browse other cycles under the same city label. The live 2010 election cycle hub is the place to browse other cities in the same two-year window. Illinois campaign finance is the state roll-up. All FEC ties is the directory. This snapshot cites $147,612, 185 rows, $15,552,687 citywide, and the derived remainder $15,405,075.
Dollar share (0.95%) and row volume (185) are separate facts. A thin dollar slice can sit next to a relatively large itemized file for this city string; those labels describe this pair, not other cities. This packet does not include a citywide row count across all cycles, so a row-share percentage is not computed. Do not treat 0.95% as Rockford's share of the 2010 national cycle.
Questions
- How does 2010 compare with the rest of Rockford giving?
- 2010 is $147,612, 0.95% of the $15,552,687 Rockford, IL book. Other cycles hold $15,405,075 (99.1%). Those shares use this city aggregate as the denominator. They are not shares of Illinois or of the national 2010 cycle, which are not in these facts.
- Are the 185 2010 rows unique Rockford residents?
- No. 185 is a receipt count. The same household can appear more than once, and an office or joint-fundraising address stored as ROCKFORD 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 Rockford dollars fund federal awards?
- No. $147,612 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 Rockford, IL 2010 figures?
- FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle. This snapshot stores $147,612 and 185 lines for ROCKFORD in 2010, plus $15,552,687 for the city string across cycles. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission filing controls.
