Key figures

  • ZIP 02445 FEC itemizations total $36,019,086 on 69,102 receipts.
  • Mean itemized amount is about $521.
  • 02445 is a Brookline mailing code, not a Boston combined total.
  • Unique donor counts are not in this packet.

Brookline volume on 69,102 federal lines

Sixty-nine thousand one hundred two itemized receipts add to $36,019,086. The mean is about $521 per line ($36,019,086 / 69,102). That pairing is a high-volume inner-suburb pattern: many receipts, a mid-hundreds mean, eight-figure dollars. A mean in that band usually means many modest itemizations with a thinner tail of larger checks.

Sort the ZIP 02445 FEC page by amount to inspect the tail. The mean can look ordinary even if a few transfers are large, because 69,102 lines dilute them. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 69,102 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of Brookline.

Brookline is not a single ZIP. 02445 is one town code. Other Brookline, Boston, and Newton codes have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 02445 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.

What 02445 is not

The aggregate is not a Massachusetts OCPF total and not a town of Brookline campaign report. It is federal itemizations from FEC.gov. It is also not a party index. FEC schedules do not score ZIP codes by ideology, and this packet does not invent one.

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $36,019,086. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Massachusetts race. Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally them. A hospital-or-university story that cites $36,019,086 without opening those strings is using a ZIP total as a substitute for an employer table it does not have.

Questions

How much did ZIP 02445 itemize in federal contributions?
LobbyVault’s ZIP aggregate shows $36,019,086 across 69,102 FEC contributions listing 02445, sourced from FEC.gov. The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP on each receipt. The mean is about $521 per line, which is not a unique-donor average.
What is the average 02445 contribution?
Dividing $36,019,086 by 69,102 receipts yields about $521 per line. That is a mean, not a median, and not a per-person average. This packet does not include a unique-donor count, so the receipt total should not be read as a headcount of Brookline residents.
Does 02445 cover all of Brookline?
02445 is a principal Brookline, Massachusetts code, but other Brookline ZIPs have separate FEC hubs with their own dollar totals. Compare them on the all-ZIP index. The $36,019,086 figure is only the itemizations labeled 02445, not a homemade townwide or Boston combined total.
Where can I see 02445 receipts?
On the ZIP 02445 FEC page, which lists the table behind $36,019,086 and 69,102 receipts. Rank other mailing codes on the all-ZIP index. Use the donor directory for person-level records. LobbyVault’s 02445 packet reports the dollar total and the contribution count only.

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