Bronx, NY political money — 2010 cycle

How Bronx, NY meets the 2010 election cycle

$125,612 is the overlap of two FEC dimensions: contributor city BRONX with state NY, and election cycle 2010. The match is $125,612 across 42 itemized contribution rows. The city side of the table, covering every cycle in the aggregate, is $33,415,616. 2010 therefore accounts for 0.38% of Bronx, NY itemized individual dollars in these facts. The remaining $33,290,004 (99.6%) was itemized in other cycles under the same city label.

This is not a restatement of Bronx, NY. That hub mixes 2010 with every other even-year window filed under BRONX. It is also not a restatement of the 2010 election cycle hub, which mixes Bronx, NY with every other donor city. The 42 rows and $125,612 exist only where both filters are true. Correlation is not causation: a city code plus a cycle year does not prove why someone gave, whom they supported, or whether the recipient was local.

The Bronx, NY side of the join

The city aggregate for Bronx, NY is $33,415,616 in itemized individual contributions. That figure is the running total for this city label across cycles, not a single-year census and not a count of unique residents. It includes the $125,612 from 2010 and the $33,290,004 from every other cycle in the same city file. New York campaign-finance pages still mix Bronx with every other city in NY.

The stored city is BRONX, New York — the borough name as typed. Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island are other city strings when filers typed them. Keep NY. A Bronx ZIP stored under NEW YORK is a different city key. $33,415,616 is the NY key only. A large city total does not mean 2010 was large, and a small city total does not mean 2010 was small. For Bronx, NY, the city stack is $33,415,616 while this cycle is $125,612 (0.38%). Donor city is not the same as recipient city: committees that received these gifts can be anywhere in the FEC system.

The 2010 cycle side for New York filers in Bronx

Federal election cycles are two-year windows on FEC.gov. The 2010 cycle is the Commission’s cycle tag on itemized receipts, not a calendar year of January gifts only. 2010 is a midterm election cycle. That calendar label does not explain $125,612. Inside that window, Bronx, NY donors itemized $125,612 on 42 contribution records. Dividing dollars by rows gives a mean of about $2,991 per itemized gift. That mean is an arithmetic average of rows, not a typical donor and not a median. This page does not publish a median or a unique-donor count.

Forty-two receipts totaling $125,612 against a $33,415,616 Bronx book is about 0.38% of city dollars. Forty-two 2010 lines is a thin midterm file with a high dollars-per-line ratio. Do not treat 42 as a borough census of itemized givers. The national 2010 hub still includes every other city. State pages for New York still include every other cycle. Only this join isolates Bronx × 2010. Unitemized contributions below the FEC itemization threshold are omitted.

A thin 2010 file inside the Bronx city stack

0.38% of $33,415,616 is a small slice of the published city book. The city hub is mostly other even-year windows, totaling $33,290,004. Put another way, about 0.38% of Bronx, NY itemized individual dollars in this aggregate were filed in 2010, and about 99.6% were not. Those percentages are $125,612 divided by $33,415,616 and $33,290,004 divided by $33,415,616. They are not shares of state totals, national cycle totals, or eligible voters.

Dollar share (0.38%) and row volume (42 itemized gifts) are separate facts. This packet does not include a citywide row count across all cycles, so a row-share percentage is not computed. Do not treat 0.38% as Bronx’s share of the 2010 national cycle, which is a different denominator and is not in these facts. Independent expenditures and committee-to-committee transfers are other tables.

What $125,612 does not measure

42 itemized contributions totaling $125,612 is the operational definition of this page. The FEC file can list the same household on multiple dates, to multiple committees, and under spelling variants of BRONX. Unique-person counts are not in the packet and are not invented here. Neither is a ranking of Bronx versus other New York cities: this join has one geography and one cycle. Mean gift size of about $2,991 uses only $125,612 and 42 rows.

$125,612 is itemized federal individual contributions with contributor city BRONX. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold sit outside it. State-office campaigns in New York file under state law and sit outside it. A candidate who lives in Bronx can raise money from other cities; those gifts are not this join. City labels are filer-entered. LobbyVault does not rewrite the city field into a Census place.

Reading Bronx and 2010 without mixing tables

This page does not rank Bronx against other cities, does not call 2010 a wave, and does not treat itemized giving as a proxy for public opinion in New York. Two columns matched. A NY address on an individual receipt does not mean the money supported a New York candidate. Amended reports can move either number. If the live Bronx, NY hub or the live 2010 cycle hub disagrees with this prose, the newer FEC extract controls.
