This is not a restatement of Great Neck, NY. That hub mixes 2010 with every other even-year window filed under GREAT NECK. It is also not a restatement of the 2010 election cycle hub, which mixes Great Neck, NY with every other donor city in the United States. The 160 rows and $240,538 exist only where both filters are true. Correlation is not causation: a city code plus a cycle year does not prove why someone gave.

FEC individual contribution files record the contributor's city as entered on the itemized receipt. Spellings and suburb-versus-city choices can split a metro across multiple city pages. Great Neck, NY here is the string that survived aggregation as GREAT NECK in NY. 2010 is a midterm FEC cycle: a two-year window that includes congressional general elections without a presidential contest on the federal calendar. That calendar fact does not explain why Great Neck, NY donors itemized $240,538. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle.

2010 as an FEC cycle tag, not a local election

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. Inside that window, Great Neck, NY donors itemized $240,538 on 160 contribution records. Dividing dollars by rows gives a mean of about $1,503 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.

The national 2010 hub still includes every other city. State pages for NY still include every other cycle. Only this join isolates Great Neck × 2010. Unitemized contributions below the FEC itemization threshold are omitted. Independent expenditures and committee-to-committee transfers are other tables. A suburb-scale row file (160 receipts) with mean near $1,503 is still itemized Schedule A, not a property-tax roll. $240,538 is the overlap only. Nearby city strings are other pages. This URL is the intersection only.

Dollar share is not row share

0.64% of $37,353,623 is a slice of the city book, not a ranking against other cities. Put another way, about 0.64% of Great Neck, NY's itemized individual dollars in this aggregate were filed in 2010, and about 99.36% were not. Those percentages are $240,538 divided by $37,353,623 and $37,113,085 divided by $37,353,623. They are not shares of state totals, national cycle totals, or eligible voters.

Dollar share (0.64%) and row volume (160 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 0.64% as Great Neck's share of the 2010 national cycle, which is a different denominator and is not in these facts. Nassau County is a geography note for readers; it is not a Census population weight on $240,538.

Itemized rows are not unique donors

160 itemized contributions totaling $240,538 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 GREAT NECK. Unique-person counts are not in the packet and are not invented here. Neither is a ranking of Great Neck versus other NY cities: this join has one geography and one cycle.

Mean gift size of about $1,503 uses only the two numbers in the join: $240,538 and 160 rows. It is a trivial ratio, not a finding about wealth, turnout, or ideology. Employer and occupation strings on those receipts are other joins. This page does not break $240,538 out by occupation, industry, or recipient committee. City labels are filer-entered. A donor who typed GREAT NECK is counted; a nearby suburb they typed instead is not recoded into Great Neck.

Correlation is not causation on this tie

This page does not rank Great Neck against other cities and does not treat itemized giving as public opinion in NY. Two columns matched. Contributor city is not campaign city. A NY address does not mean the money supported a NY candidate. Amended reports can move either number. If the live Great Neck, NY hub or the live 2010 cycle hub disagrees with this prose, the newer FEC extract controls.

Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and non-individual sources are omitted. See Great Neck, NY, the 2010 election cycle, New York campaign finance, and all FEC ties for the adjacent tables. Dollar figures are FEC itemized individual contribution aggregates. They are not federal spending awards and they do not fund USAspending totals. Source: FEC.gov.
