Villanova, PA political money — 2010 cycle

Two FEC columns: VILLANOVA and 2010

Column A is city VILLANOVA in PA. Column B is cycle 2010. Where both are true, the aggregate is $194,728 and the row count is 61. Column A alone is $19,805,772. 2010 is 0.98% of that city total; $19,611,044 (99.0%) is every other cycle. A minority slice of the city stack.

The Villanova, PA hub still mixes cycles. The 2010 hub still mixes cities. This ties path keeps both filters. 61 and $194,728 are intersection facts. They do not show why a gift was made, who received it, or whether the committee was based in Pennsylvania. Correlation of city and year is not causation.

2010 is stored as a midterm two-year FEC cycle on a midterm federal calendar. That classification does not interpret $194,728. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle.

Villanova, PA without a year filter

$19,805,772 accumulates itemized individual receipts under Villanova, PA for all cycles in the extract. Include 2010's $194,728 and exclude it and $19,611,044 remains. The figure is not a census of residents. Pennsylvania statewide pages still include cities other than Villanova.

The stored city is Villanova, Pennsylvania, as typed on itemized receipts. Philadelphia, Bryn Mawr, and Wayne are different city strings. State PA keeps this Villanova from being merged with another state's label. Only the PA key is in $19,805,772. Compare the stack ($19,805,772) with the 2010 cell ($194,728, 0.98%) rather than treating them as the same number. City hub = no year. This page = Villanova in 2010. Committees on the other side of the receipt can be in any state.

Inside the 2010 midterm cycle

The Commission tags receipts with a two-year cycle. 2010 is that tag. Villanova, PA donors itemized $194,728 on 61 lines, about $3,192 per line. The mean is not a median and not a person-level average. Unique donors are not reported in these facts.

Leave the national 2010 page for other cities and the Pennsylvania page for other years. This file isolates the pair. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee transfers are other datasets. 61 itemized rows is a small absolute count of receipts for this join. Linked hubs remain the wider tables.

Keep cityTotal and cycleTotal apart. $194,728 is the 2010 cell for Villanova, PA: itemized individual contributions in that two-year FEC window only, across 61 records. $19,805,772 is the same city string across every cycle in this extract. Subtracting them leaves $19,611,044 in other even-year windows. Citing $19,805,772 as a 2010 figure mixes the city hub into this join. Citing $194,728 as the lifetime Villanova total mixes the join into the city hub. 61 is cycleContributions for 2010 only; the packet has no all-cycle row count, so 61 cannot be turned into a share of citywide gifts. 0.98% is dollars only — $194,728 divided by $19,805,772 — not a share of Pennsylvania and not a share of the national 2010 cycle. PAC receipts, independent expenditures, and unitemized gifts are other FEC tables; they are not mixed into $194,728 or $19,805,772. Donor names are not in the packet and are not invented.

Dollar share of Villanova's stack

$194,728 ÷ $19,805,772 = 0.98%. $19,611,044 ÷ $19,805,772 = 99.0%. So about 0.98% of Villanova, PA itemized individual dollars in this aggregate carry the 2010 tag, and about 99.0% do not. Denominators are the city stack, not Pennsylvania and not the national 2010 cycle.

0.98% (money) and 61 (rows) are parallel facts. Without an all-cycle row count, a row share cannot be computed. Do not recast 0.98% as Villanova's portion of nationwide 2010 receipts; that nationwide figure is not in the packet.

Contribution rows versus people

Operationally this page is 61 itemized contributions totaling $194,728. Repeat appearances and spelling variants of VILLANOVA are possible. Unique persons are not derived. Villanova is not ordered against other Pennsylvania cities here.

$3,192 = $194,728 / 61. Occupation, industry, and committee dimensions are other ties. This cell does not itemize recipients. Nearby suburbs typed under other city names are not folded into Villanova.

Nonpartisan reading of the join

No city ranking, no claim that 2010 was a wave, no stand-in for Pennsylvania opinion. Donor city is not recipient city. PA on the receipt is not a Pennsylvania-only destination. Amended FEC reports can change the totals. Newer hub extracts win if they conflict.

Not included: unitemized individual gifts, independent expenditures, PAC transfers, federal award dollars. Adjacent tables: Villanova, PA; 2010 election cycle; Pennsylvania campaign finance; all FEC ties. Source: FEC.gov.
