Real Estate political contributions from Massachusetts

Real Estate and Massachusetts as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation REAL ESTATE and donor state MA produce $4,065,217, 5,451 contributions, and 559 donors. The occupation hub is $103,921,024, 212,697 contributions, and 16,879 donors. Massachusetts’s dollar share is about 3.9%; contribution share about 2.6% (5,451 of 212,697); donor share about 3.3% (559 of 16,879). Five hundred fifty-nine Massachusetts donors are about 3.3% of 16,879 national donors; 5,451 contributions are about 2.6% of 212,697 national rows; dollars are about 3.9% of $103,921,024.

REAL ESTATE AGENT, REAL ESTATE BROKER, and REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Real Estate total. Do not stack REAL ESTATE with REAL ESTATE AGENT or REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER into a single Massachusetts professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

559 Massachusetts donors produced 5,451 contributions, about 9.8 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 12.6 rows per donor nationally (212,697 contributions from 16,879 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Massachusetts cell is about $746, against about $489 nationwide. Massachusetts’s about 3.9% share of $103,921,024 is a large industry-title cell, not a MLS roster.

REAL ESTATE as a one-word industry string

REAL ESTATE is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a salesperson license, a brokerage, or a property list. 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 Massachusetts (MA). Sixteen thousand eight hundred seventy-nine national donors make REAL ESTATE a high-volume occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state MA.

Massachusetts on the state side

559 Massachusetts donors produced 5,451 contributions totaling $4,065,217. Donor state MA is the address on the record, not proof of a Massachusetts license, and not a limit to Massachusetts candidates. MA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Massachusetts license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $4,065,217.

The Massachusetts campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MA. This join is only REAL ESTATE. The Real Estate occupation hub without Massachusetts still holds about 96.1% of the $103,921,024. Massachusetts’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MA. REAL ESTATE is only this filter.

What the Real Estate join is not

This page does not count licensed brokers, merge developer dollars, or claim that Real Estate-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. REAL ESTATE is not REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER even when filers meant a development shop.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. REAL ESTATE is not a brokerage-license extract. Donor state MA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. License numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Real Estate filter

Subtract the Massachusetts dollars on this page from the national REAL ESTATE occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded REAL ESTATE in every other state combined. That remainder ($99,855,807) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 559 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 5,451 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $4,065,217 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Massachusetts dollars, or only the REAL ESTATE national total, drops a key. Five hundred fifty-nine donors producing 5,451 contributions totaling $4,065,217 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Related tables

Real Estate donations holds the $103,921,024 national occupation total. Massachusetts 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. REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER is a different occupation hub if that string exists.
