Real Estate and Illinois as a small slice of a huge occupation

Occupation REAL ESTATE and donor state IL produce $4,267,588, 7,782 contributions, and 643 donors. The occupation hub is $103,921,024, 212,697 contributions, and 16,879 donors. Illinois’s dollar share is 4.1%; contribution share 3.7% (7,782 of 212,697); donor share 3.8% (643 of 16,879). Illinois’s 4.1% dollar share of a $103.9 million Real Estate book is a slice, not the occupation’s center of gravity.

Do not stack REAL ESTATE with REALTOR, REAL ESTATE BROKER, and REAL ESTATE AGENT into a single Illinois professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. 643 Illinois donors produced 7,782 contributions, about 12.1 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 12.6 rows per donor nationally. The arithmetic mean gift in this Illinois cell is about $548, against about $489 nationwide.

REAL ESTATE as a sector stamp, not a license

REAL ESTATE is a filer-entered string. REALTOR, REAL ESTATE BROKER, and REAL ESTATE AGENT, if used, sit in other hubs. The $103,921,024 national total is REAL ESTATE only. 16,879 donors produced 212,697 contributions in that occupation bucket. This page does not split those 212,697 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Illinois (IL).

643 Illinois donors produced 7,782 contributions totaling $4,267,588. Donor state IL is the address on the record, not proof of a Illinois license, and not a limit to Illinois candidates. The leftover $99,653,436 is Real Estate-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

Six hundred forty-three Illinois Real Estate donors

The Illinois campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to IL. This join is only REAL ESTATE. Donor state IL is the address on the record, not proof of an Illinois real-estate license, and not a limit to Illinois candidates. The Real Estate occupation hub without Illinois still holds 95.9% of the $103,921,024.

Real Estate donations holds the $103,921,024 national occupation total. Illinois campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and All FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields.

License files, Realtor as a sibling, and awards

This page does not measure an Illinois MLS listing census or a Realtor association roster. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. REAL ESTATE is not an Illinois real-estate license file. Donor state IL is not recipient geography. The join does not rank Illinois real-estate donors against other states as more or less political.

Subtract the Illinois dollars on this page from the national REAL ESTATE occupation total and the difference is $99,653,436 still coded REAL ESTATE in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 643 is not a person-level audit. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join.

How to cite Real Estate × Illinois

Quote Real Estate and Illinois together with $4,267,588, 7,782 contributions, and 643 donors, then the national Real Estate book of $103,921,024 from 16,879 donors. Illinois is 4.1% of those dollars. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence.

Real Estate donations without Illinois still holds the remainder of the occupation total. Public records, two fields, one intersection. Do not add sibling occupation keys. Do not treat donor state as a claim that the money stayed inside Illinois races. Independent expenditures and USAspending awards remain other government files.

Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Quote $4,267,588 only with Real Estate and Illinois named in the same sentence.
