ZIP Code 53511

A thinner file still at $15,762,301

FEC.gov itemizations tagged 53511 add to $15,762,301. The matching line count is 12,158. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $1,296 per itemization. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median, not a typical Beloit household gift, and not evidence that one committee dominates the ZIP. A short line count against $16 million is a concentration signal in the ratio only; it is not a named-committee list.

Twelve thousand one hundred fifty-eight rows is among the thinner $16 million files; many peer codes need 40,000-plus lines to reach a similar dollar total. A list of 12,158 rows can still mix large transfers with small itemized gifts. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving, and a mean near $1,296 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 $15,762,301. Keep 53511 as a geographic key on the contributor record. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a Rock County political score. Readers who want named payees should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the mean.

Border-city mail versus household giving

53511 covers the Beloit ZIP on the Wisconsin–Illinois line. A contributor who lists a Beloit address, or a committee that files 53511, adds to $15,762,301 when that ZIP is on the itemization. The accurate description is tagged federal receipts, not “what Beloit residents gave.”

The packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 12,158 as a line count. Repeat gifts add rows. Memo entries add rows. This guide does not convert lines into people. Wisconsin state filings never enter the federal ZIP total.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 53511?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 53511 total $15,762,301 across 12,158 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 Beloit residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 53511?

LobbyVault counts 12,158 itemized contributions for ZIP 53511. 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 $15,762,301.

Does ZIP 53511 include only Beloit residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in Beloit can be part of $15,762,301 when 53511 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 12,158-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 53511 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $15,762,301 and 12,158 lines for ZIP 53511. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Wisconsin Ethics Commission filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
