Key figures

  • ZIP 01778 FEC itemizations total $59,231,485 across 36,940 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $1,603; the packet has no median or unique-donor count.

  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Fewer lines than many $59 million ZIPs

$59,231,485 divided by 36,940 is about $1,603 per itemized line. That mean is higher than volume ZIPs that need 80,000-plus rows to reach a similar dollar total. It is still a ratio, not a median, and not a typical MetroWest household gift. The packet has no unique-donor count.

Thirty-six thousand nine hundred forty itemizations is a shorter list than several peer codes near $60 million. A shorter list can still hide large transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar, and a $1,603 mean does not prove a single committee dominates.

LobbyVault does not score 01778 as a suburban wealth index. Occupation and employer fields sit elsewhere. This page stays on the two packet facts.

Wayland’s five-digit key is 01778, including the leading zero, on every row inside $59,231,485. Cite 36,940 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted. A 36,940-line file is shorter than many $59 million ZIPs.

Keep the leading zero on 01778

The Commission field is five digits: 01778, not 1778. A contributor who lists a Wayland address, a nearby office, or a committee that files 01778 adds to $59,231,485 when that ZIP is on Schedule A. The accurate description is tagged federal receipts, not a town-only household book.

The 36,940-line count includes repeat gifts and memo entries. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 01778?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 01778 total $59,231,485 across 36,940 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Wayland residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $1,603 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 01778?
LobbyVault counts 36,940 itemized contributions for ZIP 01778. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $59,231,485.
Does ZIP 01778 include only Wayland residents?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization, including the leading zero. Office and committee addresses in the 01778 grid can be part of $59,231,485 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 36,940-line count follows the same rule.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 01778 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $59,231,485 and 36,940 lines for ZIP 01778. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Massachusetts state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.

ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
