A city hub for Spartanburg, SC still includes every even-year window. A cycle hub for 2010 still includes every donor city. Neither hub is this page. The 67 receipts and $201,240 appear only when both the city string and the cycle tag match. Matching columns is not evidence of motive, party, or a local recipient. Committees that received the money can be anywhere the FEC files.

City is a filer-entered field. The 2010 cycle is a midterm two-year FEC window, a midterm window without a presidential general. The window label does not interpret the $201,240. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle.

Reading the Spartanburg citywide total

$15,714,690 is the all-cycle city total for SPARTANBURG in SC. It is not 2010 alone. Subtract $201,240 and the other-cycle remainder is $15,513,450. South Carolina state pages still mix Spartanburg with every other city in the state. The city total is a sum of itemized individual dollars attached to this city string, not a population count and not unique people.

The stored city is Spartanburg, South Carolina. Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston are different city strings. Spartanburg County as a whole is not the city label on the receipt. Keep the state key: $15,714,690 is SC only. The size of the city stack ($15,714,690) and the size of the 2010 slice ($201,240, 1.28%) answer different questions. Open the city hub for the unfiltered city; open this tie for Spartanburg in 2010. Recipient location is not donor city.

How FEC tags the 2010 cycle

On FEC.gov, 2010 is a cycle tag spanning two calendar years, not a single January–December cut. Within that tag, Spartanburg, SC shows $201,240 and 67 itemized gifts. $201,240 divided by 67 is about $3,004 per row. That quotient is not a median, not a typical household, and not a unique-donor average. Unique donors are not in these facts.

Unitemized gifts under the federal itemization threshold never enter this join. Transfers between committees and independent expenditures live on other tables. 67 itemized rows is a small absolute count of receipts for this join. The 2010 national cycle page and the South Carolina state page remain the wider cuts; this path is only Spartanburg × 2010.

2010 as a percentage of Spartanburg

Divide $201,240 by $15,714,690 and 2010 is 1.28% of Spartanburg, SC's stacked itemized individual dollars. Divide $15,513,450 by $15,714,690 and other cycles are 98.7%. Those identities use only packet facts. They are not Spartanburg's share of South Carolina, not Spartanburg's share of the 2010 national cycle, and not a turnout statistic.

1.28% (dollars) and 67 (rows) should not be collapsed into one story. This packet has no all-cycle row count, so a row percentage cannot be stated. Treating 1.28% as a national-cycle share would swap the denominator; that national total is not in the facts.

Itemization limits and averages

The page's unit is 67 itemized rows totaling $201,240. Repeat givers, multiple committees, and spelling variants of SPARTANBURG can inflate row counts relative to people. This file does not name donors and does not invent a unique-person figure. It also does not rank Spartanburg among South Carolina cities.

$3,004 is $201,240 / 67. Occupation, employer, and committee tables are separate joins. Nothing on this page splits the $201,240 by industry or office. If the receipt city was not SPARTANBURG, the dollar is not in this 2010 cell.

Caveats on city-cycle joins

No ranking, no wave language, no inference about South Carolina public opinion. Donor city Spartanburg is not campaign city. A SC receipt address does not imply a South Carolina candidate. Later FEC amendments can change $201,240 or $15,714,690. Live hubs override this prose if they differ.
