FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 45208 total $33,330,588 across 35,084 contributions. The dollar total and line count land in the middle: neither a thin mega-row ZIP nor an 80,000-line list. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.

Key figures

  • ZIP 45208 FEC itemizations total $33,330,588 across 35,084 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $950.
  • The ZIP is the five-digit contributor field as filed, not a household census.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Filing shape for ZIP 45208

$33,330,588 is the itemized federal receipt sum tagged 45208 in this LobbyVault aggregate. 35,084 is the matching line count. Together they yield about $950 per itemization. None of those figures is a unique-donor census.

35,084 is a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and redesignations can add rows without adding new people. This packet does not publish a donor headcount, so 35,084 should be cited as itemizations tagged 45208 on FEC.gov.

What the 45208 field is not

ZIP 45208 on an FEC itemization is the contributor ZIP as typed on the report. It is not proof of legal residence, not a voter file, and not a map of who voted. $33,330,588 follows the filed string. Recoding 45208 into a city or a three-digit prefix is a different dataset.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $33,330,588. Non-federal campaigns that never file with the FEC never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP do not move this receipt total. Cite $33,330,588 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 45208.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 45208?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 45208 total $33,330,588 across 35,084 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count. Unitemized gifts sit outside $33,330,588. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 45208?
LobbyVault counts 35,084 itemized contributions for ZIP 45208. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $33,330,588, a mean near $950.
Does ZIP 45208 on FEC reports mean only local residents?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the itemization as filed. LobbyVault does not recode 45208 into a residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear. The 35,084-line count follows the same rule as the $33,330,588 sum.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 45208 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $33,330,588 and 35,084 lines for ZIP 45208. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal campaigns are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $950 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

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