A New Jersey township ZIP with 52,122 lines

$17,976,129 divided by 52,122 is about $345 per itemized line. That is a high-volume, mid-low-mean pattern: many Schedule A rows, fewer dollars on the typical row than a Westchester high-mean ZIP. Essex County geography does not change the arithmetic. The packet has no unique-donor count.

Fifty-two thousand one hundred twenty-two contributions is a long list. Repeat givers, household pairs, and any committee that files 07042 all add rows. Do not treat 52,122 as a census of Montclair. Quote it as a contribution-line total.

LobbyVault does not interpret $17,976,129 as a ranking of inner-ring suburb civic mood. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 07042.

Any extract that drops the leading zero will miss 07042 entirely. $17,976,129 across 52,122 contributions is tagged with five digits. A long list at a $345 mean is many small itemized gifts, not a unique-donor census. This packet has no unique-donor count. Recheck the ZIP 07042 FEC page after quarterly filings. 07043 is Upper Montclair, a different roll-up. FEC.gov controls.

Keep the leading zero; it is still the ZIP

07042 is a five-digit code. Spreadsheets that drop the leading zero and store 7042 will fail to match FEC itemizations. $17,976,129 is tagged 07042 as filed. It is not a resident-only book. A committee that lists a Bloomfield Avenue suite still posts that ZIP.

Open the ZIP 07042 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not guess which of the 52,122 rows are households.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 07042?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 07042 total $17,976,129 across 52,122 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 Montclair residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $345 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 07042?
LobbyVault counts 52,122 itemized contributions for ZIP 07042. 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 $17,976,129.
Why does ZIP 07042 start with a zero?
New Jersey ZIPs are five-digit codes. 07042 is the contributor ZIP on the FEC itemization. Dropping the leading zero breaks matches against the Commission file. Committees and office addresses that file 07042 can be part of $17,976,129. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 07042 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $17,976,129 and 52,122 lines for ZIP 07042. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and New Jersey 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.
