Chestnut Hill volume on 37,818 federal lines

Thirty-seven thousand eight hundred eighteen itemized receipts add to $18,765,115. The mean is about $496 per line ($18,765,115 / 37,818). That pairing is a mid-to-high volume northwest-Philadelphia pattern: many receipts, a mid-hundreds mean, eight-figure dollars. Searchers often collapse Northwest into one story. 19118 is Chestnut Hill. 19119 is Mount Airy.

Sort the ZIP 19118 FEC page by amount. The $496 mean can look ordinary even if a few transfers are large, because 37,818 lines dilute them. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 37,818 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of Chestnut Hill.

Philadelphia is not a single ZIP. 19118 is the northwest-edge code. Rank neighboring tags on the all-ZIP index. Adding 19118 to 19119 or a Main Line ZIP is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.

What 19118 is not

The aggregate is not a Pennsylvania Department of State total and not a City of Philadelphia campaign report. It is federal itemizations from FEC.gov. It is also not a party index. FEC schedules do not score ZIP codes by ideology, and this packet does not invent one.

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $18,765,115. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Pennsylvania race. Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally them. A university-or-hospital story that cites $18,765,115 without opening those strings is using a ZIP total as a substitute for an employer table it does not have.

Questions

How much did ZIP 19118 itemize in federal contributions?
LobbyVault's ZIP aggregate shows $18,765,115 across 37,818 FEC contributions listing 19118, sourced from FEC.gov. The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP on each receipt. The mean is about $496 per line, which is not a unique-donor average.
What is the average 19118 contribution?
Dividing $18,765,115 by 37,818 receipts yields about $496 per line. That is a mean, not a median, and not a per-person average. This packet does not include a unique-donor count, so the receipt total should not be read as a headcount of Chestnut Hill residents.
Does 19118 cover all of Northwest Philadelphia?
19118 is Chestnut Hill. Mount Airy 19119 and other Northwest ZIPs have separate FEC hubs. Compare them on the all-ZIP index. The $18,765,115 figure is only the itemizations labeled 19118, not a citywide or Main Line combined total.
Where can I see 19118 receipts?
On the ZIP 19118 FEC page, which lists the table behind $18,765,115 and 37,818 receipts. Rank other mailing codes on the all-ZIP index. Use the donor directory for person-level records. LobbyVault's 19118 packet reports the dollar total and the contribution count only.

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