Key figures
- ZIP 10153 FEC itemizations total $25,905,832 across 4,877 contributions.
- The mean line is about $5,312; the packet has no median or unique-donor count.
- 10153 is a five-digit FEC contributor ZIP, not a resident roster.
- Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.
Four thousand eight hundred lines against $25,905,832
Four thousand eight hundred seventy-seven itemized receipts add to $25,905,832. The mean is about $5,312 per line ($25,905,832 / 4,877). That is a high mean for a Midtown office ZIP. It is the arithmetic you get when large committee transfers share a tower code with a shorter personal-itemization list. Comparing 10153 with a high-volume residential code without noting the 4,877-line gap will mislead a reader.
ZIP 10153 is used on Midtown office mail, including tower letterhead. LobbyVault does not relabel those rows as non-residential; the ZIP field is whatever the filer reported. The $25,905,832 total therefore follows the form, not a residential occupancy file.
A shorter Midtown list is still a public record. It is useful for seeing where committees file. It is a poor proxy for how a block votes. Keep those questions out of a ZIP rollup that only contains dollars and a receipt count.
Why a 4,877-line ZIP distorts neighborhood stories
If you treat $25,905,832 as what people in 10153 gave, you invent a neighborhood that the form field does not describe. Four thousand eight hundred seventy-seven rows is short enough that the largest lines are easy to inspect. Sort the ZIP 10153 FEC page by amount. A handful of payers can account for a large share of the total. That is a reading of the table, not a motive claim.
A mean near $5,312 is a prompt to read the payer column, not a typical household check. LobbyVault’s ZIP total follows the ZIP on each itemization it includes. It does not reconstruct the full path of every dollar.

Questions
- What is the ZIP 10153 contribution total?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 10153 total $25,905,832 across 4,877 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Midtown residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $5,312 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
- How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 10153?
- LobbyVault counts 4,877 itemized contributions for ZIP 10153. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. Those rows are itemized Schedule A lines, not people. The matching dollar total is $25,905,832.
- Does ZIP 10153 include only Midtown residents?
- No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 10153 grid can be part of $25,905,832 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 4,877-line count follows the same rule.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 10153 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $25,905,832 and 4,877 lines for ZIP 10153. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. New York State filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, 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.
