ZIP Code 10178

Two thousand seven hundred fifty-four lines, $20.8 million

$20,794,821 divided by 2,754 is about $7,551 per itemized line. That is filing shape, not a typical Midtown household. A short list with a four-figure mean usually means large Schedule A rows — firm letterhead, committee transfers, or memo entries — dominate the roll-up.

Two thousand seven hundred fifty-four is still a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new people. It is also not a single check. This packet has no donor headcount and no size bands.

Do not read $7,551 as what a typical payer gave. Sort the ZIP 10178 FEC page by amount. A few large rows can account for most of $20,794,821 while smaller itemizations fill out 2,754.

A Midtown unique ZIP, not a neighborhood census

10178 is a Manhattan unique / firm ZIP rather than a broad residential grid. FEC.gov stores the five digits as typed on Schedule A. A committee, or a contributor who listed a 10178 building, adds to $20,794,821 when that ZIP is on the itemization.

Searchers who treat 10178 as a residential neighborhood will misread the field. Unique ZIPs often concentrate office and committee letterhead. The packet does not split residents from committees. The legal field is the string 10178 as filed.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 10178?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 10178 total $20,794,821 across 2,754 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. The mean of about $7,551 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Why does ZIP 10178 have so few FEC contributions?

LobbyVault counts 2,754 itemized contributions for ZIP 10178 against $20,794,821. That is a short line list for this dollar band. 10178 is a Manhattan unique ZIP; firm and committee addresses can concentrate large rows. The packet does not split those rows from individual itemizations.

Does ZIP 10178 include only people who live in Midtown?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses tagged 10178 can be part of $20,794,821 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 2,754-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 10178 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $20,794,821 and 2,754 lines for ZIP 10178. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. New York state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
