ZIP Code 10016

One hundred seventeen thousand Manhattan mail rows

Divide $48,703,488 by 117,220 and the mean line is about $415. That average is a ratio. It is not a typical gift and it is not a median. A commercial Manhattan ZIP can mix ordinary individual rows with committee rows on the same five digits. FEC Schedule A stores whatever ZIP the filer put on the receipt. LobbyVault sums those rows.

One hundred seventeen thousand two hundred twenty itemized lines is a volume ZIP. Sorting the ZIP hub by dollars places 10016 among other $48–$51 million codes. Sorting by contribution count places it with other six-figure lists. Both sorts are the same public file. Nothing in this aggregate assigns a party or a motive to the $48,703,488.

Manhattan commercial ZIPs collect office addresses as readily as apartments. $48,703,488 is a ZIP roll-up of whatever five-digit code was filed. It is not a neighborhood census. 117,220 remains a line count on the same extract. Quote both numbers.

How FEC addressing works on 10016

Individual contribution files include a ZIP field taken from the contributor record. Committees and joint fundraising committees often use a business ZIP. When those entities appear as contributors or as the address on a transferred receipt, their ZIP is 10016 if that is what was filed. Treating $48,703,488 as what residents donated overstates a neighborhood and understates how FEC addressing works.

Unitemized gifts below the federal itemization threshold never enter this total. New York State filings never enter it. Independent expenditures paid by a committee with a different ZIP never enter it. The $48,703,488 figure is a ZIP roll-up of itemized federal receipts, sourced from FEC.gov.

On a ZIP with 117,220 lines, the temptation is to treat the count as a population. It is not. Repeat itemizations, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows. $48,703,488 remains the matching dollar total. Cite the pair, not a headcount the packet never published.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 10016?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 10016 total $48,703,488 across 117,220 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 $415 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 10016?

LobbyVault counts 117,220 itemized contributions for ZIP 10016. 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 $48,703,488.

Does $48.7 million mean people who live in 10016 gave that much?

The ZIP is the five-digit code on the FEC itemization. Joint fundraising and PAC addresses can appear in the same $48,703,488 total. 117,220 is a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Treating $48,703,488 as resident-only giving overstates a neighborhood and understates how FEC addressing works. Open the ZIP 10016 hub for named receipts.
