Key figures

  • ZIP 48236 FEC itemizations total $28,904,523 across 49,509 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $584; the packet has no median or unique-donor count.
  • 48236 is a five-digit FEC contributor ZIP, not a resident roster.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Forty-nine thousand lines on a lakeshore ZIP

$28,904,523 divided by 49,509 is about $584 per itemized line. That mean sits in the middle of high-volume suburban codes: tens of thousands of rows, dollars in the high $20 millions, no median in the packet. The average is a ratio, not a typical Grosse Pointe household check.

Forty-nine thousand five hundred nine itemizations is a long receipt list. Repeat gifts, workplace itemizations, and bundled events can all add rows. 49,509 is not a headcount of people who live on the Lake St. Clair shore.

No party share is attached to $28,904,523. Employer strings sit on other LobbyVault views. 48236 is a geographic key on the contributor record. Cite 49,509 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted.

How FEC forms treat 48236

48236 covers Grosse Pointe Woods and adjacent east-side mail. A contributor who lists a residential street, an office, or a committee that files 48236 adds to $28,904,523 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving misstates the field.

The 49,509-line count includes memo entries and redesignations. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted. Grosse Pointe geography is orientation only.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 48236?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 48236 total $28,904,523 across 49,509 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 Grosse Pointe Woods residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $584 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 48236?
LobbyVault counts 49,509 itemized contributions for ZIP 48236. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. Those rows are itemized Schedule A lines, not people. The matching dollar total is $28,904,523.
Does ZIP 48236 include only Grosse Pointe Woods residents?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 48236 grid can be part of $28,904,523 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 49,509-line count follows the same rule.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 48236 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $28,904,523 and 49,509 lines for ZIP 48236. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Michigan state filings are outside both figures. LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system. 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.
