Winnetka, IL political money — 2010 cycle

2010 dollars from Winnetka, IL donors

Filter one is donor city Winnetka, IL (WINNETKA). Filter two is election cycle 2010. The intersection is $212,538 on 131 itemized rows. Filter one without filter two is $56,827,615. 2010's share of that city stack is 0.37%; other cycles hold $56,615,077 (99.6%). A modest slice of the city stack for Winnetka in 2010. Those are ratios of two packet facts, not a comparison with other metros.

A city hub for Winnetka, IL still includes every even-year window. A cycle hub for 2010 still includes every donor city. Neither hub is this page. The 131 receipts and $212,538 appear only when both the city string and the cycle tag match. Matching columns is not evidence of motive, party, or a local recipient. Committees that received the money can be anywhere the FEC files.

City is a filer-entered field. The 2010 cycle is a midterm two-year FEC window, a midterm window without a presidential general. The window label does not interpret the $212,538. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle.

Reading the Winnetka citywide total

$56,827,615 is the all-cycle city total for WINNETKA in IL. It is not 2010 alone. Subtract $212,538 and the other-cycle remainder is $56,615,077. Illinois state pages still mix Winnetka with every other city in the state. The city total is a sum of itemized individual dollars attached to this city string, not a population count and not unique people.

The stored city is Winnetka, a North Shore municipality in Illinois. Chicago, Evanston, Wilmette, and Kenilworth are different city strings. State IL stays on the citation so this Winnetka is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Keep the state key: $56,827,615 is IL only. The size of the city stack ($56,827,615) and the size of the 2010 slice ($212,538, 0.37%) answer different questions. Open the city hub for the unfiltered city; open this tie for Winnetka in 2010. Recipient location is not donor city.

How FEC tags the 2010 cycle

On FEC.gov, 2010 is a cycle tag spanning two calendar years, not a single January–December cut. Within that tag, Winnetka, IL shows $212,538 and 131 itemized gifts. $212,538 divided by 131 is about $1,622 per row. That quotient is not a median, not a typical household, and not a unique-donor average. Unique donors are not in these facts.

Unitemized gifts under the federal itemization threshold never enter this join. Transfers between committees and independent expenditures live on other tables. 131 itemized rows is a sizable absolute count of receipts for this join. The 2010 national cycle page and the Illinois state page remain the wider cuts; this path is only Winnetka × 2010.

2010 as a percentage of Winnetka

Divide $212,538 by $56,827,615 and 2010 is 0.37% of Winnetka, IL's stacked itemized individual dollars. Divide $56,615,077 by $56,827,615 and other cycles are 99.6%. Those identities use only packet facts. They are not Winnetka's share of Illinois, not Winnetka's share of the 2010 national cycle, and not a turnout statistic.

0.37% (dollars) and 131 (rows) should not be collapsed into one story. This packet has no all-cycle row count, so a row percentage cannot be stated. Treating 0.37% as a national-cycle share would swap the denominator; that national total is not in the facts.

Itemization limits and averages

The page's unit is 131 itemized rows totaling $212,538. Repeat givers, multiple committees, and spelling variants of WINNETKA can inflate row counts relative to people. This file does not name donors and does not invent a unique-person figure. It also does not rank Winnetka among Illinois cities.

$1,622 is $212,538 / 131. Occupation, employer, and committee tables are separate joins. Nothing on this page splits the $212,538 by industry or office. If the receipt city was not WINNETKA, the dollar is not in this 2010 cell.

Caveats on city-cycle joins

No ranking, no wave language, no inference about Illinois public opinion. Donor city Winnetka is not campaign city. A IL receipt address does not imply a Illinois candidate. Later FEC amendments can change $212,538 or $56,827,615. Live hubs override this prose if they differ.
