ZIP Code 15774

Why 1,083 rows and $16,705,902 belong together

Most ZIPs that reach the mid-$16 million band in this extract do so across tens of thousands of itemizations. ZIP 15774 does it with 1,083 contributions. The FEC extract is not missing a zero; the packet lists both numbers. A short list at this dollar scale means the typical line, if one looked at the table, would have to be large, or a small number of very large lines would have to dominate. This page will not publish an average as an official FEC statistic. It will say that 1,083 rows cannot look like a mass of small household gifts unless the hub contradicts that expectation.

Shelocta is a small postal code. The $16,705,902 total is a reporting aggregate for whatever addresses used 15774 on federal receipts. Unitemized gifts are absent. Itemized committee-side money, if it used this ZIP, is present. The hub table is short enough that a reader can actually scan it.

1,083 contributions is not a donor census

One thousand eighty-three is a receipt count, not a unique-person total. This packet does not include a distinct-donor statistic, so this guide will not invent how many individuals sit behind 15774. Even a short file can include repeat itemizations and joint-fundraising splits that add rows without adding people.

The low row count is still the headline next to $16,705,902. It is the reason to open committee names first. If the largest lines are PACs or joint-fundraising committees, the ZIP total will say more about where those committees file mail than about how many people in Indiana County wrote checks.

Questions

How can ZIP 15774 total $16,705,902 with only 1,083 contributions?

Those are the two figures in the FEC extract: $16,705,902 across 1,083 itemizations listing 15774 as the contributor ZIP. A short list at this dollar scale usually means large lines, often including committee or joint-fundraising receipts. This page does not publish an average. The ZIP hub shows the actual receipts.

Does 1,083 contributions mean 1,083 donors in 15774?

No. The number counts itemized rows. Repeat filings and splits can add rows. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. With a file this short, names and committees on the ZIP 15774 FEC page are practical to review line by line.

Should I assume PAC money dominates ZIP 15774?

Assume nothing until the table is open. The FEC ZIP is the five-digit code on the contribution. Joint-fundraising committees and PAC addresses in 15774 can sit inside the $16,705,902 total. The combination of 1,083 rows and that dollar figure is a reason to read committee names first, not a completed finding.
