Key figures

  • ZIP 60091 FEC itemizations total $36,452,768 on 72,122 receipts.
  • Mean itemized amount is about $505.
  • 60091 is a Wilmette mailing code, not a North Shore combined total.
  • Unique donor counts are not in this packet.

North Shore volume on 72,122 federal lines

Seventy-two thousand one hundred twenty-two itemized receipts add to $36,452,768. The mean is about $505 per line ($36,452,768 / 72,122). That pairing is a high-volume suburban pattern: many receipts, a mid-hundreds mean, eight-figure dollars. A mean in that band usually means many modest itemizations with a thinner tail of larger checks.

Sort the ZIP 60091 FEC page by amount to inspect the tail. The mean can look ordinary even if a few transfers are large, because 72,122 lines dilute them. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 72,122 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of Wilmette.

The North Shore is not a single ZIP. 60091 is one Wilmette code. Winnetka, Kenilworth, and Evanston codes have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 60091 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.

What $36,452,768 leaves out

The aggregate is not an Illinois State Board of Elections total and not a village of Wilmette campaign report. It is federal itemizations from FEC.gov. It is also not a party index. FEC schedules do not score ZIP codes by ideology, and this packet does not invent one.

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $36,452,768. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention an Illinois race. Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally them.

Questions

How much did ZIP 60091 itemize in federal contributions?
LobbyVault’s ZIP aggregate shows $36,452,768 across 72,122 FEC contributions listing 60091, sourced from FEC.gov. The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP on each receipt. The mean is about $505 per line, which is not a unique-donor average.
What is the average 60091 contribution?
Dividing $36,452,768 by 72,122 receipts yields about $505 per line. That is a mean, not a median, and not a per-person average. This packet does not include a unique-donor count, so the receipt total should not be read as a headcount of Wilmette residents.
Does 60091 cover the entire North Shore?
No. 60091 is one five-digit code used in Wilmette. Other North Shore ZIPs have separate FEC hubs with their own dollar totals. Compare them on the all-ZIP index. The $36,452,768 figure is only the itemizations labeled 60091.
Where can I see 60091 receipts?
On the ZIP 60091 FEC page, which lists the table behind $36,452,768 and 72,122 receipts. Rank other mailing codes on the all-ZIP index. Use the donor directory for person-level records. LobbyVault’s 60091 packet reports the dollar total and the contribution count only.

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