ZIP Code 10020

Fewer lines than neighboring Manhattan codes

$43,210,848 on 25,914 lines is a concentration pattern relative to ZIPs that carry similar dollars on 100,000 rows. A mean near $1,667 is a ratio, not a typical household gift. FEC.gov does not label which rows produced the mean. LobbyVault reports the sum and the count.

Twenty-five thousand nine hundred fourteen itemizations is enough volume to be a real filing stream and small enough that a few large transfers still dominate the mean. Do not read $1,667 as what a 10020 donor typically gives. The typical line is not in this packet. The mean is arithmetic. No party split is published on this ZIP total.

A mean near $1,667 on 25,914 lines sits above many volume ZIPs with similar dollars. That placement is filing shape, not a lifestyle statistic. Keep $43,210,848 and 25,914 in the same sentence so a reader can redo the division.

The 10020 ZIP field versus a census

FEC contributor ZIPs are not geocoded to parcels. A committee that lists 10020 will post to this total if that is the ZIP on the form. Individuals who live elsewhere and use an office address can do the same. $43,210,848 is therefore not resident giving in 10020.

The 25,914-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.

Commercial mail ZIPs like 10020 are easy to misread as resident books. FEC.gov stored the ZIP that was filed. $43,210,848 across 25,914 lines is what that field sums to in this aggregate. A mean near $1,667 follows from division. Unique donors are not in the packet.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 10020?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 10020 total $43,210,848 across 25,914 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate.

Why is the mean higher for ZIP 10020?

25,914 itemized lines against $43,210,848 produces a mean near $1,667. That arithmetic is a scale check, not a typical household gift. Large committee and joint-fundraising receipts posted to a 10020 mail ZIP can dominate the mean. The packet has no median and no unique-donor count. Cite both $43,210,848 and 25,914.

Does ZIP 10020 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 $43,210,848 when 10020 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 25,914-line count follows the same rule.
