Key figures

  • ZIP 06820 FEC itemizations total $28,708,992 across 37,346 contributions.

Darien’s $28,708,992 on 37,346 lines

$28,708,992 divided by 37,346 is about $769 per itemized line. Fairfield County codes in this dollar band often show tens of thousands of rows rather than a handful of large transfers. The average is a ratio, not a median, and not a typical Darien household check.

Thirty-seven thousand three hundred forty-six itemizations is a long receipt list. Repeat gifts and bundled events add rows. 37,346 is not a headcount of people who live near the New Haven Line or along the Post Road.

The packet attaches no party share to $28,708,992 and no unique-donor field. Employer strings sit on other LobbyVault views. 06820 is a geographic key on the contributor record. Cite 37,346 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted.

Five digits on a Connecticut itemization

06820 is Darien’s five-digit key. A contributor who lists a residential street, a local office, or a committee that files 06820 adds to $28,708,992 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving misstates the field.

The 37,346-line count includes memo entries and redesignations. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted. Shoreline geography is orientation only.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 06820?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 06820 total $28,708,992 across 37,346 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Darien residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $769 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 06820?
LobbyVault counts 37,346 itemized contributions for ZIP 06820. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. Those rows are itemized Schedule A lines, not people. The matching dollar total is $28,708,992.
Does ZIP 06820 include only Darien residents?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 06820 grid can be part of $28,708,992 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 37,346-line count follows the same rule.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 06820 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $28,708,992 and 37,346 lines for ZIP 06820. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Connecticut state filings are outside both figures. LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system. If a later extract disagrees, 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.
