FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 02421 total $32,301,157 across 94,226 contributions. Keep the leading zero: 02421 is a five-character FEC field, not 2421, and 94,226 lines make this one of the longer lists among high-dollar ZIPs. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.

Key figures

  • ZIP 02421 FEC itemizations total $32,301,157 across 94,226 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $343.
  • Keep the leading zero; 02421 is a five-digit string.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Line volume on ZIP 02421

94,226 itemizations is the distinctive count for 02421. $32,301,157 divided by 94,226 is about $343 per line. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median gift, not a typical household, and not evidence that every row is the same size.

94,226 is a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and redesignations can add rows without adding new people. This packet does not publish a donor headcount, so 94,226 should be cited as itemizations tagged 02421 on FEC.gov.

Why the leading zero on 02421 matters

FEC files store contributor ZIP as a five-character string. 02421 is not 2421. Exports that coerce the field to a number drop the zero and fail to match the ZIP 02421 FEC page. Researchers joining LobbyVault tables to other extracts should keep 02421 as text.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $32,301,157. Non-federal campaigns that never file with the FEC never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP do not move this receipt total. Cite $32,301,157 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 02421.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 02421?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 02421 total $32,301,157 across 94,226 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count. Unitemized gifts sit outside $32,301,157. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 02421?
LobbyVault counts 94,226 itemized contributions for ZIP 02421. 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. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $32,301,157, a mean near $343.
Why keep the leading zero on ZIP 02421?
FEC contributor ZIP is a five-character field. 02421 is not the same key as 2421. Number-formatted spreadsheets drop the zero and break joins to the ZIP 02421 FEC page. Store the code as text. The $32,301,157 and 94,226 facts attach to the five-digit string as filed on FEC.gov.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 02421 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $32,301,157 and 94,226 lines for ZIP 02421. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal campaigns are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $343 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
