Real Estate and California in the same receipt row

Occupation REAL ESTATE and state CA produce $20,398,391, 45,383 contributions, and 2,722 donors. The occupation nationwide is $103,921,024, 212,697 contributions, and 16,879 donors. California’s dollar share is about 20%. Contribution share is about 21% (45,383 of 212,697). Donor share is about 16% (2,722 of 16,879).

This Real Estate join keeps dollar and contribution shares close (about 20% and 21%). That is a property of these two aggregates, not a valuation of California property markets. A Developer-titled California join, if read separately, uses a different occupation string.

Real Estate–California, using the shorter occupation string, is about one-fifth of the national label on money and rows: $20,398,391 of $103,921,024, 45,383 of 212,697 contributions, 2,722 of 16,879 donors. About 16% of people, about 21% of rows, about 20% of dollars. That alignment is different from Developer-titled joins, which use a longer string and different national totals. This page does not quote those other totals. It keeps REAL ESTATE plus CA: 2,722 donors, 45,383 contributions, $20,398,391. Broker or realtor, if typed that way, would be other occupation pages. Donor state CA does not identify the recipient committee. The Real Estate hub holds $103,921,024; the California hub holds every occupation in the state.

REAL ESTATE as a national occupation bucket

Filers who typed Real Estate land here. Filers who typed Real Estate Developer land on a different occupation page. This grouping is 16,879 donors, 212,697 contributions, and $103,921,024. Broker, agent, or realtor, if used, would be other strings.

Two hundred twelve thousand contributions from 16,879 donors shows frequent itemization. California’s 45,383 contributions from 2,722 donors is the CA-coded volume, not a count of California licenses.

California donor-state activity

The CA side is $20,398,391 from 45,383 contributions and 2,722 donors. Donor state is the address on the contribution. Recipients may be committees anywhere in the FEC system.

California campaign finance overall mixes this occupation with Real Estate Developer and others. This tie holds REAL ESTATE only. Adding a Developer-titled California total would invent a combined figure that is not a fact on this page.

What a 20% share does not imply

One-fifth of Real Estate-coded dollars from California does not show that housing policy caused the gifts, and it does not rank California against New York or Texas Real Estate joins except as separate tables. Occupation plus state is not causation.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Independent expenditures are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Occupation hub, state hub, and sibling ties

Real Estate donations holds the $103,921,024 national total. California campaign finance holds all CA-coded itemized individual receipts. All occupations and all FEC ties list New York and Texas Real Estate joins as separate filters against the same occupation total.

REAL ESTATE in California without the Developer suffix

This join is the shorter occupation string. The $20,398,391, 45,383 contributions, and 2,722 donors are REAL ESTATE plus CA. Real Estate Developer is a different occupation page. Adding that other California join here would invent a combined property-title total. Donor address still does not identify which committees received the money.
