- ZIP 06840 FEC itemizations total $45,670,501 across 48,332 contributions.

- Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.
Forty-eight thousand lines, a $945 mean
$45,670,501 on 48,332 lines is a mid-list pattern. A mean near $945 can mix individual Schedule A rows with committee rows on the same five digits. FEC.gov does not label which of those categories produced the mean. LobbyVault reports the sum and the count. The typical line is not in this packet.
Forty-eight thousand three hundred thirty-two itemizations is enough volume to be a real filing stream and small enough that a few large transfers still pull the mean. Do not read $945 as what a 06840 donor typically gives. No party share is attached to $45,670,501.
A mean near $945 on 48,332 lines sits above many volume ZIPs with similar dollars. That placement is filing shape, not a lifestyle statistic. Keep $45,670,501 and 48,332 in the same sentence so a reader can redo the division.
The 06840 field versus a neighborhood census
FEC contributor ZIPs are not geocoded to parcels. A committee that lists 06840 will post to this total if that is the ZIP on the form. Individuals who use a home, office, or seasonal address with the same digits can do the same. $45,670,501 is therefore not resident giving in 06840.
The 48,332-line count is an itemization count. Unique people are not totaled in this packet. Repeat gifts, reallocations, and memo items can inflate the line list without adding new contributors.
Researchers comparing 06840 to volume ZIPs with similar dollars should keep both packet facts in the same sentence. $45,670,501 without 48,332 hides whether the total is a long list or a short list. 48,332 without $45,670,501 hides scale. FEC.gov published both.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 06840?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 06840 total $45,670,501 across 48,332 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 it. The mean of about $945 follows from dividing those two packet facts.
- How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 06840?
- LobbyVault counts 48,332 itemized contributions for ZIP 06840. 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 $45,670,501.
- Does ZIP 06840 include only residents?
- No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses can be part of $45,670,501 when 06840 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 48,332-line count follows the same rule.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 06840 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $45,670,501 and 48,332 lines for ZIP 06840. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal 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.
