How National Services meets Columbus, GA
This page is a join. One dimension is contributor city Columbus, GA, stored as COLUMBUS. The other is occupation or industry grouping National Services (stored as NATIONAL SERVICES). $10,250 is the intersection — dollars on receipts that carry both labels. $22,988,570 is the city bucket before the employer filter, built from 46,498 itemized lines. The harvested donor count inside the intersection is 1 donor, not a census of everyone in Columbus, GA who ever worked in a related trade.
LobbyVault does not add a third table and does not route these dollars through USAspending. A Form 3 itemization is not a federal award. Open the Columbus, GA city hub for the unfiltered city book, the National Services industry hub for the grouping outside this city filter, Georgia campaign finance for the state roll-up, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Each of those pages answers a different question. This one answers only the intersection.
2 contributions from 1 donor produced $10,250. Two receipts from one donor is a short repeat pair, not a Columbus services census. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $5,125; per donor, about $10,250. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.
What the Columbus, GA city book holds
Columbus, GA indexes $22,988,570 ($23 million rounded) on 46,498 itemized individual contributions. City labels are filer-entered. Phenix City and Fort Benning addresses that store a different city never enter this join. COLUMBUS is the stored Georgia place here. Joint-fundraising and committee addresses that happen to list COLUMBUS can sit in the same bucket as residents. The packet does not publish a unique-donor count for the city as a whole, so this page does not invent one from 46,498.
Georgia campaign-finance pages cover the state, which is a larger geography than Columbus, GA. Do not treat $22,988,570 as the GA state total. Unitemized federal gifts never carry a published city in this roll-up, so they never enter $22,988,570. State-office campaigns in Georgia file under state law and sit outside these FEC individual-contribution aggregates.
The National Services slice inside Columbus, GA
Inside Columbus, GA, receipts tagged National Services total $10,250 on 2 lines from 1 donor. That is under 0.1% of $22,988,570. About $5,125 per receipt is $10,250 divided by 2. About $10,250 per harvested donor is $10,250 divided by 1. Those ratios describe shape. They are not medians, not typical household gifts, and not salaries.
NATIONAL SERVICES is an exact employer string, not a census of every services contractor in Columbus. Repeat gifts, household pairs, and spelling variants of National Services that did not match this key never enter $10,250. Keep line count and donor count attached to their nouns when citing Columbus, GA.
What this join is not
It is not a ranking of Columbus, GA neighborhoods. It is not a safety comparison. It is not proof that National Services money funded a federal contract, grant, or loan. Campaign contributions and USAspending awards are different disclosure systems even when they mention the same city. This packet has no award dollars, so this page prints none.
It is not National Services nationwide unless the industry hub — a different page — is cited separately, and this packet does not harvest that nationwide integer. It is not a PAC independent-expenditure total. Motive is not a field. Party split is not a field in this packet. Missing fields stay missing. under 0.1% is $10,250 divided by $22,988,570. Rounding the city total to $23 million does not create a second extract. Use $22,988,570 in a table. Correlation is not causation: two filer-entered fields meeting is not evidence that National Services controls Columbus, GA politics.

Using the Columbus, GA and National Services hubs together
The Columbus, GA hub is the unfiltered city index: $22,988,570 on 46,498 lines.

None of them turns $10,250 into a federal award.
