- ZIP 02459 FEC itemizations total $19,911,283 on 66,372 receipts.

Newton Centre volume on 66,372 federal lines
Sixty-six thousand three hundred seventy-two itemized receipts add to $19,911,283. The mean is about $300 per line ($19,911,283 / 66,372). That pairing is a high-volume inner-suburb pattern: many receipts, a round three-hundred mean, eight-figure dollars. A mean in that band usually means many modest itemizations with a thinner tail of larger checks.
Sort the ZIP 02459 FEC page by amount to inspect the tail. The mean can look ordinary even if a few transfers are large, because 66,372 lines dilute them. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 66,372 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of Newton Centre.
Newton is not a single ZIP. 02459 is one town code. Other Newton, Brookline, and Boston codes have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 02459 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.
What 02459 is not
The aggregate is not a Massachusetts OCPF total and not a City of Newton 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 $19,911,283. 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 $19,911,283 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 02459 itemize in federal contributions?
- LobbyVault's ZIP aggregate shows $19,911,283 across 66,372 FEC contributions listing 02459, sourced from FEC.gov. The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP on each receipt. The mean is about $300 per line, which is not a unique-donor average.
- What is the average 02459 contribution?
- Dividing $19,911,283 by 66,372 receipts yields about $300 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 Newton Centre residents.
- Does 02459 cover all of Newton?
- 02459 is a Newton Centre, Massachusetts code, but other Newton ZIPs have separate FEC hubs with their own dollar totals. Compare them on the all-ZIP index. The $19,911,283 figure is only the itemizations labeled 02459, not a homemade citywide or Boston combined total.
- Where can I see 02459 receipts?
- On the ZIP 02459 FEC page, which lists the table behind $19,911,283 and 66,372 receipts. Rank other mailing codes on the all-ZIP index. Use the donor directory for person-level records. LobbyVault's 02459 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.
