Key figures

  • ZIP 43209 FEC itemizations total $15,557,900 across 39,207 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $397; the packet has no median or unique-donor count.
  • 43209 is a five-digit FEC contributor ZIP, not a resident-only census.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

The $15,557,900 Bexley ZIP total

FEC.gov itemizations tagged 43209 add to $15,557,900. The matching line count is 39,207. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $397 per itemization. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median, not a typical Bexley household gift, and not evidence that one committee dominates the ZIP. Inner-ring suburb ZIPs often mix household itemizations with school-district and professional-office mail.

Thirty-nine thousand two hundred seven rows sits in the middle of the $16 million ZIP band: neither the thinnest file nor the longest. A list of 39,207 rows can still mix large transfers with small itemized gifts. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving, and a mean near $397 does not prove a single payer. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share the same five digits.

No party share is attached to $15,557,900. Keep 43209 as a geographic key on the contributor record. LobbyVault does not recode the field into the Columbus inner east political score. Readers who want named payees should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the mean.

Inner-east Columbus mail versus household giving

43209 covers the Bexley ZIP on Columbus’s inner east side. A contributor who lists a Bexley address, or a committee that files 43209, adds to $15,557,900 when that ZIP is on the itemization. The accurate description is tagged federal receipts, not β€œwhat Bexley residents gave.”

The packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 39,207 as a line count. Repeat gifts add rows. Memo entries add rows. This guide does not convert lines into people. Ohio state filings never enter the federal ZIP total.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 43209?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 43209 total $15,557,900 across 39,207 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 Bexley residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 43209?
LobbyVault counts 39,207 itemized contributions for ZIP 43209. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $15,557,900.
Does ZIP 43209 include only Bexley residents?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in Bexley can be part of $15,557,900 when 43209 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 39,207-line count follows the same rule.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 43209 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $15,557,900 and 39,207 lines for ZIP 43209. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Ohio Secretary of State campaign-finance 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.
