How does 2012 compare with the rest of Dayton giving?

2012 is $153,070, 0.43% of the $35,725,641 Dayton, OH book. Other cycles hold $35,572,571 (99.6%). Those shares use this city aggregate as the denominator. They are not shares of Ohio or of the national 2012 cycle, which are not in these facts.

Are the 213 2012 rows unique Dayton residents?

No. 213 is a receipt count. The same household can appear more than once, and an office or joint-fundraising address stored as DAYTON can sit beside a home address. LobbyVault does not convert the city field into a Census residency test. Unique-donor counts are not in the packet.

Do these Dayton dollars fund federal awards?

No. $153,070 is FEC itemized individual contributions. USAspending obligations are a different statute and a different table. This packet has no award dollars, contractor names, or recipient UEIs. A shared geography does not turn campaign receipts into federal spending.

What source backs the Dayton, OH 2012 figures?

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle. This snapshot stores $153,070 and 213 lines for DAYTON in 2012, plus $35,725,641 for the city string across cycles. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission filing controls.

Filer-entered Dayton in cycle 2012

The city field is whatever the itemized receipt stored. Dayton sits in Montgomery County, Ohio. Columbus, Cincinnati, and Kettering are other Ohio city strings. LobbyVault does not merge those neighboring strings into DAYTON. $153,070 therefore understates a metro and overstates a literal string match — it is a string match, by design.

213 lines is a relatively large itemized file for this city string. Repeat households and office addresses can share the file. Unique residents are not counted here. 2012 is a presidential election cycle; the tag does not interpret the dollars.

The Dayton, OH hub still shows $35,725,641 across cycles. Other cycles hold $35,572,571 (99.6%). This URL is only Dayton × 2012.

How the 2012 cycle hub differs

The 2012 election cycle page mixes every donor city in the United States. Dayton, OH is one of those cities. Pulling $153,070 out of that national mix is the point of this join. Do not treat the cycle hub as a Dayton directory.

Ohio campaign finance mixes every city in the state and every cycle in the extract. Adding $153,070 to that state total double-counts. All FEC ties is the index of other joins.

Dollars, rows, and omitted tables

$153,070 is itemized federal individual contributions. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, PAC-to-PAC transfers, and state-office filings are omitted. USAspending awards are omitted. No contractor or award recipient is named because none appears in the packet.

Mean $719 is $153,070 / 213. It is not a median and not a typical household. Occupation and industry cuts of these receipts are other pages.

0.43% of the city book is not a national share

0.43% uses $35,725,641 as the denominator. It is not Dayton's share of the 2012 national cycle. That other percentage would need a national cycle total, which this packet does not include. A thin slice of the citywide book still leaves $35,572,571 in other Dayton, OH cycles.

Internal links on this file are Dayton, OH, the 2012 election cycle, Ohio campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four. Do not paste $153,070 into a USAspending award story. FEC individual contributions and federal obligations are collected under different statutes, on different forms, for different filers. This packet has no award dollars and no contractor names.

Limits

This page does not rank Dayton, does not call 2012 a wave, and does not map receipts onto Ohio candidates. A OH city code is an address field. Amended reports can move either dollar figure. See Dayton, OH, the 2012 election cycle, Ohio campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Source: FEC.gov.

This page does not rank Dayton against other cities, does not call 2012 a wave, and does not treat itemized giving as a proxy for public opinion in Ohio. Two columns matched: city DAYTON and cycle 2012. The product of that match is $153,070 on 213 rows. Public-opinion claims, turnout claims, and wealth claims would require fields this packet does not have.

Filer spelling splits metros. A contributor who typed DAYTON is inside $153,070. A contributor who typed a neighborhood, a firm city, or a nearby suburb is not recoded into Dayton. Dayton sits in Montgomery County, Ohio. Columbus, Cincinnati, and Kettering are other Ohio city strings. Treat 213 as lines that stored this string in 2012, not as a labor-force or voter-file headcount of Dayton, OH.

The live Dayton, OH hub is the place to browse other cycles under the same city label. The live 2012 election cycle hub is the place to browse other cities in the same two-year window. Ohio campaign finance is the state roll-up. All FEC ties is the directory. This snapshot cites $153,070, 213 rows, $35,725,641 citywide, and the derived remainder $35,572,571.

Dollar share (0.43%) and row volume (213) are separate facts. A thin dollar slice can sit next to a relatively large itemized file for this city string; those labels describe this pair, not other cities. This packet does not include a citywide row count across all cycles, so a row-share percentage is not computed. Do not treat 0.43% as Dayton's share of the 2012 national cycle.
