FEC itemizations that list ZIP 11217 add up to $16,632,113 across 73,575 contributions. The code covers Boerum Hill, Park Slope-adjacent blocks, and Downtown Brooklyn geography stored as a five-digit FEC ZIP, not as a New York City campaign-finance board file. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault. Seventy-three thousand rows at this dollar scale is a dense receipt file, not a unique-person count.

Key figures

  • ZIP 11217 FEC itemizations total $16,632,113.
  • 73,575 contributions list 11217 as the contributor ZIP.
  • The contribution count is not a unique-donor total.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can be included in the ZIP total.

Dollar volume disclosed under 11217

The $16,632,113 figure is the sum of itemized federal contributions that carried 11217. Federal committees nationwide can appear as recipients. New York state and city races generally sit outside this extract unless a federal committee is involved. Unitemized gifts never enter the total.

A dense row file under that dollar figure usually means many separate itemizations: repeat givers, modest disclosed gifts, and cycle-over-cycle repeats. This page will not publish an occupation table or an average gift, because those statistics are not in the packet. The 11217 hub is where mix is visible.

Brooklyn 11217 produced $16,632,113 across 73,575 contributions. Downtown offices, cultural institutions, and brownstones share the ZIP. A union or law-firm committee mailbox is still 11217. The dollar total does not prefer households. Read committee names.

73,575 contributions are rows, not people

The extract counts 73,575 contributions for 11217. That is how many disclosed lines share the ZIP. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide will not guess how many unique Brooklyn residents sit behind the file. One person who gives across several committees can occupy many lines.

High row volume is a reason not to treat 11217 as a handful of marquee checks. It is also a reason not to treat 73,575 as a crowd size. Both mistakes skip the table. Names and committees on the ZIP page are the evidence.

New York City Campaign Finance Board filings are not this extract. Do not add them to $16,632,113. The 73,575 contributions are FEC federal itemizations. A borough-president query needs CFB data, labeled as CFB data, in a separate sentence.

Questions

What is the FEC total for ZIP 11217?
Itemizations listing 11217 total $16,632,113 across 73,575 contributions. Both figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Brooklyn and not a New York City Campaign Finance Board local file. LobbyVault indexes those FEC.gov itemizations so $16,632,113 and 73,575 contributions can be checked on the ZIP 11217 hub without assembling committee reports by hand.
Does 73,575 contributions equal 73,575 donors?
No. The number counts itemized receipts. Repeat gifts and earmarks add rows. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. See names on the ZIP 11217 FEC page. This packet still does not include a distinct-donor total, so 73,575 remains a receipt count for ZIP 11217 even after the hub is open.
Can PAC money appear in the 11217 total?
Yes. FEC stores the five-digit ZIP on the contribution. Joint-fundraising committees and PAC addresses using 11217 can sit inside the $16,632,113 sum with residential receipts. Committee names on the hub identify those lines. Read committee names on the largest ZIP 11217 lines before treating $16,632,113 as household-only money; the five-digit field does not make that distinction by itself.
Where are 11217 itemizations published?
On the ZIP 11217 FEC page. Other codes are on the all-ZIP index, and names can be searched in the donor directory. Original filings are on FEC.gov. Those three LobbyVault paths plus FEC.gov are the full working set for verifying $16,632,113 and 73,575 contributions tagged to ZIP 11217.

ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
