Key figures

  • ZIP 02118 FEC itemizations total $17,457,907 across 40,064 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $436; this is the South End ZIP, not all of Boston.
  • Keep the leading zero when matching Massachusetts ZIPs.
  • This packet does not publish a unique-donor count.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

South End dollars, not a Boston citywide total

$17,457,907 divided by 40,064 is about $436 per itemized line. The South End is one Boston neighborhood with one mail key. Other Boston ZIPs are separate roll-ups. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count or a citywide sum.

Forty thousand sixty-four contributions is a working list. Repeat givers, brownstone-address batches, medical-campus addresses, and any committee that files 02118 all add rows. Do not treat 40,064 as a census of the South End.

LobbyVault does not treat $17,457,907 as a ranking of Boston civic mood. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 02118.

The South End’s 02118 key is one Boston neighborhood. $17,457,907 across 40,064 contributions is not a citywide figure. Medical-campus addresses can appear in named receipts beside brownstones. Keep the leading zero. Keep 40,064 as a line count. This packet has no unique-donor count. Recheck the ZIP 02118 FEC page after quarterly filings. 02116 is Back Bay, a different key. FEC.gov controls.

Leading zeros and hospital-campus mail

02118 is a five-digit code. Spreadsheets that store 2118 will fail to match FEC itemizations. The South End mixes households with the Boston Medical Campus edge. A committee that lists a 02118 suite still posts that ZIP. $17,457,907 follows the form. It is not a resident-only book.

Open named receipts on the ZIP 02118 FEC page if you need to see which committees appear. This guide will not guess the mix inside 40,064 lines.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 02118?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 02118 total $17,457,907 across 40,064 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 South End residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $436 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 02118?
LobbyVault counts 40,064 itemized contributions for ZIP 02118. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and campus-address batches can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $17,457,907.
Does ZIP 02118 cover all of Boston?
No. 02118 is the South End mail key. Other Boston ZIPs are separate roll-ups. Keep the leading zero when matching files. Committees and medical-campus addresses that file 02118 can be part of $17,457,907. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a citywide or residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 02118 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $17,457,907 and 40,064 lines for ZIP 02118. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Massachusetts state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, 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.
