How much did ZIP 60202 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 60202 total $12,911,254 across 56,001 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Evanston and not Illinois State Board of Elections campaign totals. The packet facts stop at $12,911,254 and 56,001 contributions; named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP 60202 FEC page.

Does 56,001 contributions mean 56,001 people donated?

No. The figure counts itemized receipts. One person can appear many times. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. See names on the ZIP 60202 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people. Open the ZIP 60202 FEC page for names behind the 56,001 lines.

Does ZIP 60202 include Illinois state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Illinois State Board of Elections filings sit outside $12,911,254. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 60202 FEC page for the federal table. The packet facts stop at $12,911,254 and the contribution count. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP 60202 FEC page, not in this summary.

Key figures

ZIP 60202 FEC itemizations total $12,911,254 ($12.9M).
56,001 contributions list 60202 — a high-volume receipt file at this dollar scale.
Evanston’s 60202 tag is a filing key, not a Cook County headcount.
This packet has no unique-donor count.

Evanston’s $12,911,254 federal roll-up

$12,911,254 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 60202 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. Illinois State Board of Elections filings and Evanston municipal races sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $12.9M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household north of Chicago spent.

Fifty-six thousand one rows is a high-volume file among ZIPs near $13 million. A long list can still hide large committee transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 60202. Cook County geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $12,911,254. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a North Shore political score. Readers who want named payees, dates, or employer strings should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the line count alone. The supported facts are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition.

56,001 lines, no unique-donor roster

The extract lists 56,001 contributions for 60202. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide does not invent how many people sit behind Evanston filings. A file this long at $12.9M is a high-volume ZIP: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

Scanning 56,001 rows by eye is impractical. Sort the ZIP 60202 FEC page by amount to see whether $12,911,254 is spread across many names or concentrated in a few payees. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. Keep 60202 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as an Evanston headcount.
