Shaker Heights, OH and the 2010 FEC cycle

$142,300 is the intersection, not the city hub

Quote the join as “Shaker Heights, OH × 2010 = $142,300 (62 itemized contributions).” Do not quote $22,211,203 in the same sentence unless you label it as the all-cycle city total. About 0.64% of the stored Shaker Heights money sits in 2010; about 99.4% does not.

Source language: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle. That sentence is the sourceNote on this file. It does not cover committee-to-committee transfers, operating expenditures, or independent-expenditure filings. Those are other tables.

Why Shaker Heights is not a metro rollup

The city side of the join answers “which donor-city string?” The answer is SHAKER HEIGHTS in OH, displayed as Shaker Heights, OH. It does not answer “which ZIP,” “which employer,” or “which occupation.” Those are other LobbyVault dimensions. Occupation-cycle and city-industry pages are different kinds.

Lifetime city money $22,211,203 can look large next to a single-cycle cell of $142,300. That contrast is expected. It is not a finding that 2010 was a weak or strong year in any causal sense. Other cycles simply are not this page.

Nationwide 2010 pages versus this Shaker Heights cell

Calling 2010 a “presidential cycle” or a “midterm cycle” is calendar context for the even year. It is not a finding that $142,300 went to a presidential ticket or to House races. Recipient offices are not in the packet. Keep the citation as city × cycle dollars.

The cycle hub will include every city. This tie includes one city. Mixing those grains produces a false Ohio or false national number. Stay on $142,300.

Missing grains: names, parties, offices

Same-city strings in other states are out. Same-year receipts with a different city spelling are out. ZIP codes that sit in Shaker Heights but were filed with another city name are out. Shaker Heights is stored as SHAKER HEIGHTS in Ohio. Cleveland and Beachwood are other city keys. Those exclusions are why $142,300 can look different from a journalist’s handmade city scrape.

Citation order: dollars, keys, source

City-industry, occupation-cycle, and committee-cycle pages answer other questions. This kind is city-cycle only. If a later packet adds donor counts or committee names, that would be a different file. This one stops at $142,300, 62, $22,211,203, 0.64%, and the keys SHAKER HEIGHTS / OH / 2010.

Keep the two sides named

Title and H1 name both sides because the page is a join. If a downstream template dropped 2010 or dropped Shaker Heights, the remaining label would describe the wrong object. Keep Shaker Heights, OH and 2010 in any reuse of $142,300. Restating without new facts: Shaker Heights, OH in 2010 is $142,300 from 62 itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov. The city string stores $22,211,203 across cycles, so this window is about 0.64% and other windows hold $22,068,903. Arithmetic mean per line is about $2,295. Unique donors, recipient committees, party split, and USAspending dollars are not in the packet. Live overlays at the city hub, the 2010 hub, and All FEC ties outrank this snapshot if they differ. Keep both join sides in any reuse of $142,300: donor city Shaker Heights, OH and FEC cycle 2010, sourced from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts. The 62 contribution lines are volume for this cell only and are not added to counts from other Shaker Heights cycle pages. City lifetime money $22,211,203 already includes the 2010 window; do not add $142,300 to $22,211,203.

Shaker Heights, OH remains one donor-city string on FEC.gov. Cycle 2010 remains one even-year tag. Together they produce $142,300 from 62 itemized individual contributions. The city key still stores $22,211,203 when every stored cycle is included, so 2010 is about 0.64% of that running total and $22,068,903 sits in other windows. Those other windows are not listed here and are not estimated. Mean line size about $2,295 is $142,300 divided by 62, an arithmetic mean rather than a median.
