Key figures

  • ZIP 02458 FEC itemizations total $17,840,624 across 33,740 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $529; this is one Newton ZIP, not the whole city.
  • Keep the leading zero when matching Massachusetts ZIPs.
  • This packet does not publish a unique-donor count.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

One Newton village ZIP, not the whole city

$17,840,624 divided by 33,740 is about $529 per itemized line. Newton uses several ZIPs. 02458 is one of them, covering Newton Corner and adjoining streets. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count or a citywide roll-up.

Thirty-three thousand seven hundred forty contributions is a working list. Repeat givers, household pairs, and any committee that files 02458 all add rows. Do not treat 33,740 as a census of Newton.

LobbyVault does not treat $17,840,624 as a ranking of inner-suburb civic mood. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 02458.

Newton Corner is not Newton. $17,840,624 across 33,740 contributions is 02458 only. Keep the leading zero or the match against FEC.gov fails. This packet has no unique-donor count. The $529 mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. Recheck the ZIP 02458 FEC page after quarterly filings. 02459 is a different village key. The donor directory lists names. FEC.gov controls.

Leading zeros and village mail

02458 is a five-digit code. Spreadsheets that store 2458 will fail to match FEC itemizations. A committee that lists a Washington Street suite still posts 02458. $17,840,624 follows the form. It is not a resident-only book.

Open the ZIP 02458 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not guess which of the 33,740 rows are households.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 02458?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 02458 total $17,840,624 across 33,740 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 Newton residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $529 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 02458?
LobbyVault counts 33,740 itemized contributions for ZIP 02458. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts 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 $17,840,624.
Does ZIP 02458 cover all of Newton?
No. 02458 is one Newton mail key. Other Newton village ZIPs are separate roll-ups. Keep the leading zero when matching files. Committees and office addresses that file 02458 can be part of $17,840,624. 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 02458 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $17,840,624 and 33,740 lines for ZIP 02458. 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.
