Detroit, MI political money — 2010 cycle

Detroit in 2010: the intersection number

$198,917 appears only when donor city is DETROIT in MI and the cycle is 2010. 214 itemized rows accompany that dollar figure. The unmatched city total is $78,603,491. 2010 holds 0.25% of it; other even-year windows hold $78,404,574 (99.7%). Call that a modest slice of the city stack — a description of this ratio, not of other cities.

Restating the Detroit, MI hub would mix years. Restating the 2010 hub would mix cities. This page keeps both constraints. Intersection is not causation. The facts do not say why people gave, which committees they chose, or whether those committees were in Michigan.

2010 is a midterm FEC cycle (two-year window; no presidential general). Window type does not explain $198,917. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle.

Citywide Detroit, MI dollars

$78,603,491 is the city label across cycles. $198,917 is nested inside it; $78,404,574 is the rest. Neither number is unique residents. Michigan finance pages still list every city in the state, not only Detroit.

The stored city is Detroit, Michigan. Southfield, Dearborn, Warren, and Grosse Pointe are different city strings. Wayne County as a whole is not DETROIT. State MI is required on the key. The MI key is mandatory: $78,603,491 is not a national homonym total. City stack $78,603,491 versus cycle cell $198,917 (0.25%) should stay distinct. Drop the year on the city hub; keep 2010 here. Recipient city can differ from Detroit.

The 2010 cycle tag explained

Cycle 2010 on FEC.gov is two years wide. In that span Detroit, MI shows $198,917 and 214 itemized gifts. $198,917 / 214 ≈ $930. That is a row mean. Median and unique-donor counts are not in the packet.

Other cities remain on the 2010 cycle hub. Other years remain on Michigan and Detroit hubs. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are excluded. 214 itemized rows is a large absolute count of receipts for this join. Follow internal links for the wider tables; this slug is the pair only.

Keep cityTotal and cycleTotal apart. $198,917 is the 2010 cell for Detroit, MI: itemized individual contributions in that two-year FEC window only, across 214 records. $78,603,491 is the same city string across every cycle in this extract. Subtracting them leaves $78,404,574 in other even-year windows. Citing $78,603,491 as a 2010 figure mixes the city hub into this join. Citing $198,917 as the lifetime Detroit total mixes the join into the city hub. 214 is cycleContributions for 2010 only; the packet has no all-cycle row count, so 214 cannot be turned into a share of citywide gifts. 0.25% is dollars only — $198,917 divided by $78,603,491 — not a share of Michigan and not a share of the national 2010 cycle. PAC receipts, independent expenditures, and unitemized gifts are other FEC tables; they are not mixed into $198,917 or $78,603,491. Donor names are not in the packet and are not invented.

0.25% of Detroit is 2010

0.25% is $198,917 as a share of $78,603,491. 99.7% is $78,404,574 as a share of $78,603,491. About 0.25% of Detroit, MI itemized individual dollars in this aggregate are 2010; about 99.7% are not. Those are city-stack shares only.

Do not blend 0.25% with 214 into a single ranking. There is no all-cycle row total here, so no row percentage. 0.25% is not a share of national 2010 receipts; that denominator is missing from the facts.

How to use this ties URL

This write-up does not rank Detroit, does not call 2010 a wave, and does not treat itemized giving as Michigan public opinion. Contributor geography is not campaign geography. MI on an individual receipt is not a promise the money stayed in Michigan. Amendments can revise totals. Live hubs control if they differ.
