Key figures

  • ZIP 48214 FEC itemizations total $19,494,282 on 13,313 receipts.
  • Mean itemized amount is about $1,464.
  • 48214 is one Detroit east-side code, not a citywide total.
  • Unique donor counts are not in this packet.

A $1,464 mean on 13,313 east-side lines

Divide $19,494,282 by 13,313 and the mean line is about $1,464. That is a low-count, high-mean city shape: fewer receipts than a dense suburb ZIP, a four-figure average. The $1,464 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical Detroit household. Midtown and downtown Detroit codes carry their own hubs.

Thirteen thousand three hundred thirteen itemizations is a shorter list than many eight-figure ZIPs. Repeat gifts still add rows. 13,313 is a line count, not a roster of people who live near Jefferson Avenue. A higher mean is a prompt to inspect the largest lines before treating the ZIP as a neighborhood census.

The packet attaches no party split to $19,494,282 and no unique-donor field. Employer strings live elsewhere on LobbyVault. Quote 48214 with both $19,494,282 and 13,313 contributions. Do not convert 13,313 into an east-side voter count.

What the 48214 field actually records

On FEC itemizations, 48214 is the contributor ZIP as filed. A historic-district house, a corridor office, or a committee that uses 48214 on its report all feed $19,494,282 when that is the five-digit key. Recoding the field into a household-only book would invent a filter the Commission does not apply here.

Memo entries and redesignations sit inside the 13,313-line count. This guide will not invent a person count the packet left out. East-side geography orients the map; it does not change the form field. Wayne County is not a substitute for the five digits.

Why is the 48214 average higher than many suburbs?
