Key figures

ZIP 10009 FEC itemizations total $14,713,682 ($14.7M) across 62,209 contributions.
The mean line is about $237; one Manhattan ZIP, not the borough.
This packet does not publish a unique-donor count.
Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Alphabet City mail is not all of Lower Manhattan

$14,713,682 divided by 62,209 is about $237 per itemized line. Sixty-two thousand two hundred nine rows is a dense Manhattan list. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count or a boroughwide sum.

Do not treat 62,209 as a census of the East Village. Repeat gifts, roommate households, and any committee that prints 10009 all add rows. LobbyVault does not interpret $14,713,682 as a ranking of Lower East Side civic intensity. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 10009.

One Manhattan ZIP, many building types

A Avenue B walk-up, a Stuyvesant Town-adjacent listing, and a committee suite can share 10009. $14,713,682 follows the form. Open the ZIP 10009 FEC page for named receipts rather than guessing which of the 62,209 rows are households.

10003, 10002, and 10011 are different roll-ups. Adding them to 10009 and calling the sum a Lower Manhattan FEC total is a recode you must document. This page reports $14,713,682 for 10009 only.
