Short Hills mail on 38,141 federal lines
Thirty-eight thousand one hundred forty-one itemized receipts add to $35,614,325. The mean is about $934 per line ($35,614,325 / 38,141). That pairing is thicker than a high-volume inner-suburb mean. Essex County mail mixes homes with professional offices. LobbyVault does not split those rows in this aggregate. $35,614,325 is every itemization labeled 07078.
A $934 mean can hide a split between modest personal itemizations and a thinner tail of large checks. Sort the ZIP 07078 FEC page by amount to inspect that tail. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 38,141 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of Short Hills.
Essex County is not a single ZIP. 07078 is one Short Hills code. Millburn, Maplewood, and other west-Essex codes have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 07078 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.
What 07078 is not
The aggregate is not a New Jersey ELEC total and not a Millburn Township 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 $35,614,325. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a New Jersey race. Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally them. A commuting-to-Manhattan story that cites $35,614,325 without opening those strings is using a ZIP total as a substitute for an employer table it does not have.

- How much did ZIP 07078 itemize in federal contributions?
- LobbyVault’s ZIP aggregate shows $35,614,325 across 38,141 FEC contributions listing 07078, sourced from FEC.gov. The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP on each receipt. The mean is about $934 per line, which is not a unique-donor average.
- What is the average 07078 contribution?
- Dividing $35,614,325 by 38,141 receipts yields about $934 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 Short Hills residents.
- Does 07078 cover all of Millburn?
- No. 07078 is one five-digit code used in Short Hills. Other Millburn and Essex County ZIPs have separate FEC hubs with their own dollar totals. Compare them on the all-ZIP index. The $35,614,325 figure is only the itemizations labeled 07078.
