Realtor political contributions from Pennsylvania

The Realtor–Pennsylvania intersection

Occupation REALTOR and donor state PA produce $1,172,842, 5,810 contributions, and 299 donors. The occupation hub is $49,791,079, 243,658 contributions, and 10,968 donors. Pennsylvania’s dollar share is about 2.4%; contribution share about 2.4% (5,810 of 243,658); donor share about 2.7% (299 of 10,968). Two hundred ninety-nine Pennsylvania donors are 2.7% of 10,968 national REALTOR donors. Dollars and contributions both sit near 2.4% of $49,791,079 and 243,658 national rows.

REAL ESTATE BROKER, BROKER, and REAL ESTATE AGENT, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack REALTOR with REAL ESTATE BROKER or REAL ESTATE AGENT into a single Pennsylvania professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

299 Pennsylvania donors produced 5,810 contributions, about 19.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 22.2 rows per donor nationally (243,658 contributions from 10,968 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Pennsylvania cell is about $202, against about $204 nationwide. Pennsylvania’s near-match to the national Realtor mean is arithmetic, not a ranking of Philadelphia or Pittsburgh offices. About 19.4 rows per donor here versus about 22.2 nationally.

REALTOR receipts with a Pennsylvania address

REALTOR is a filer-entered string. The file does not confirm trademark usage or a local-board membership. The word REALTOR plus PA is the filter. The $49,791,079 national total is REALTOR only. 10,968 donors produced 243,658 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 243,658 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Pennsylvania (PA). This page locates the Pennsylvania overlap. It does not merge REALTOR with REAL ESTATE BROKER.

Pennsylvania as donor state

299 Pennsylvania donors produced 5,810 contributions totaling $1,172,842. Donor state PA is the address on the record, not proof of a Pennsylvania license, and not a limit to Pennsylvania candidates. PA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Pennsylvania real-estate license and not a limit to Pennsylvania candidates. Practice county is unpublished.

The Pennsylvania campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to PA. This join is only REALTOR. The Realtor occupation hub without Pennsylvania still holds about 97.6% of the $49,791,079. Pennsylvania’s state hub includes every occupation coded to PA. REALTOR is only this filter.

What not to infer from Realtor plus Pennsylvania

This page does not merge Real Estate Broker dollars, count NAR members, or claim that Realtor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. REALTOR is not REAL ESTATE BROKER. Those strings, if used, never enter the $1,172,842.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. REALTOR is not an NAR or license roster. Donor state PA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Brokerage names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Realtor filter

Subtract the Pennsylvania dollars on this page from the national REALTOR occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded REALTOR in every other state combined. That remainder ($48,618,237) 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 299 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 5,810 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,172,842 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Pennsylvania dollars, or only the REALTOR national total, drops a key. Two hundred ninety-nine donors producing 5,810 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,172,842 headline.

Realtor donations holds the $49,791,079 national occupation total. Pennsylvania 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. Georgia and North Carolina have separate Realtor occupation-state ties; do not add those dollars here.
