How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 02114?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 02114 total $14,640,286 across 33,471 contributions. The compact headline is $14.6M. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of the West End or the hill district west of the Common. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 02114?

LobbyVault counts 33,471 itemized contributions for ZIP 02114. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $14,640,286. The mean of about $437 is dollars divided by lines.

Why does ZIP 02114 have a leading zero?

Massachusetts ZIPs begin with 0. FEC itemizations store five digits. Spreadsheets that coerce the field to a number will store 2114 and fail to match. Keep 02114 as text. Committees that file 02114 can be part of $14,640,286. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a citywide book.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 02114 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $14,640,286 and 33,471 lines for ZIP 02114. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Massachusetts state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.

the West End and the hill district west of the Common is not all of Boston

$14,640,286 divided by 33,471 is about $437 per itemized line. 02114 covers the West End, the hill district west of the Common, and hospital-campus mail. 02108, 02109, and 02113 are different roll-ups. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count.

Thirty-three thousand four hundred seventy-one contributions is a working list. Medical-campus offices, residential streets, and any committee that prints 02114 all add rows. Do not treat 33,471 as a census of the hill district. LobbyVault does not treat $14,640,286 as a ranking of downtown Boston civic mood.

Leading zeros on Massachusetts mail

02114 is a five-digit code. Excel and some CSV parsers drop the leading zero and leave 2114. Those rows will not join to FEC itemizations. A committee that lists a Cambridge Street suite still posts 02114. $14,640,286 follows the form. It is not a resident-only book.

Open the ZIP 02114 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not guess which of the 33,471 rows are households. Massachusetts state-office filings are a different dataset even when the street is the same.
