Itemized FEC.gov receipts that list contributor ZIP 02199 add to $19,591,123 on 9,858 lines. Boston uses this compact Back Bay code for the Prudential Tower mail stream. Nine thousand eight hundred fifty-eight receipts against nearly $20 million is a high-mean, low-count shape. PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can share those five digits.

Key figures

  • ZIP 02199 FEC itemizations total $19,591,123 on 9,858 receipts.
  • Mean itemized amount is about $1,986.
  • 02199 is a compact Boston tower code, not a Back Bay combined total.
  • Unique donor counts are not in this packet.

A $1,986 mean on 9,858 Prudential lines

Divide $19,591,123 by 9,858 and the mean line is about $1,986. That is not a typical Back Bay household gift. Commercial tower codes often mix office letterhead, committee mail drops, and a thinner residential list than neighboring 02116. The $1,986 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median and not a per-person average.

Nine thousand eight hundred fifty-eight itemizations is a short list next to high-volume Massachusetts suburb ZIPs that carry tens of thousands of lines. Repeat gifts still add rows. 9,858 is a line count, not a roster of people who live in the Prudential complex.

The packet attaches no party split to $19,591,123 and no unique-donor field. Employer strings live elsewhere on LobbyVault. Quote 02199 with both $19,591,123 and 9,858 contributions. A mean near two thousand dollars is a prompt to inspect the largest lines before treating the ZIP as a neighborhood census.

What the 02199 field actually records

On FEC itemizations, 02199 is the contributor ZIP as filed. A tower suite, a retail mailbox, or a committee that uses 02199 on its report all feed $19,591,123 when that is the five-digit key. Recoding the field into a household-only book would invent a filter the Commission does not apply here.

Memo entries and redesignations sit inside the 9,858-line count. This guide will not invent a person count the packet left out. Back Bay geography orients the map; it does not change the form field. The Prudential Center is not a substitute for the five digits.
