$95,154,471 divided by 91,367 is about $1,041 per itemized line. Keep the leading zero on 02116. Spreadsheet software will strip it and break joins. Back Bay’s mix of homes and professional offices is why PAC and joint-fundraising addresses belong in the first reading. Large PAC or joint-fundraising itemizations can still sit inside $95,154,471. They show up when you sort the ZIP 02116 FEC page by amount.

91,367 contributions is an itemization count, not a unique-person count. Repeat givers, online itemized gifts, and memo entries can lengthen the list. This packet has no donor headcount. Cite 91,367 as a contribution-line total.

No party split is attached to $95,154,471. Local reputation is not an FEC field. The Commission stores a ZIP string. LobbyVault reports the roll-up of FEC.gov itemizations labeled 02116.

02116 as a contributor ZIP, not a brownstone census

A PAC or joint fundraising committee that lists an address in Boston’s Back Bay still posts 02116 when that is the ZIP on Schedule A. Individuals who list the ZIP add the same way. $95,154,471 is therefore not automatically what residents of Boston’s Back Bay gave. It is what was itemized with that five-digit code.

The 91,367-line count is the research lead. Open named receipts on the ZIP 02116 FEC page if you need committees. This guide will not infer a grassroots story or a bundler story from a $1,041 mean. Boston’s Back Bay geography explains the search query; the table decides the mix of payers.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 02116?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 02116 total $95,154,471 across 91,367 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in Boston’s Back Bay. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $95,154,471 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 02116?

LobbyVault counts 91,367 itemized contributions for ZIP 02116. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 91,367 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $95,154,471, a mean near $1,041.

Does ZIP 02116 include only residents of Boston’s Back Bay?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in Boston’s Back Bay can be part of $95,154,471 when 02116 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 91,367-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 02116 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $95,154,471 and 91,367 lines for ZIP 02116. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Massachusetts state office campaigns are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $1,041 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
