Key figures

  • The mean line is about $2,187; the packet has no median or unique-donor count.

Fewer lines, still $70,827,156

$70,827,156 divided by 32,381 is about $2,187 per itemized line. That mean is higher than many 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 downtown Boston household gift. The packet has no unique-donor count.

Thirty-two thousand three hundred eighty-one itemizations is a shorter list than several peer codes near $70 million. A shorter list can still hide large transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar, and a higher mean does not prove a single committee dominates. This aggregate does not name the mix.

No party share is attached to $70,827,156. Keep 02108 as a geographic key on the contributor record.

Downtown mail versus household giving

02108 covers a compact slice of Boston. A contributor who lists a downtown Boston or State Street address, or a committee that files 02108, adds to $70,827,156 when that ZIP is on the itemization. The accurate description is tagged federal receipts, not β€œwhat downtown Boston residents gave.”

The 32,381-line count includes repeat gifts and memo entries. This guide does not convert lines into people.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 02108?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 02108 total $70,827,156 across 32,381 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 downtown Boston residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $2,187 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 02108?
LobbyVault counts 32,381 itemized contributions for ZIP 02108. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $70,827,156.
Does ZIP 02108 include only downtown Boston residents?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in downtown Boston can be part of $70,827,156 when 02108 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 32,381-line count follows the same rule.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 02108 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $70,827,156 and 32,381 lines for ZIP 02108. 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.
