Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 60601?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 60601 total $78,989,639 across 80,241 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in Chicago’s Loop / New East Side. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $78,989,639 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 60601?

LobbyVault counts 80,241 itemized contributions for ZIP 60601. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 80,241 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $78,989,639, a mean near $984.

Does ZIP 60601 include only residents of Chicago’s Loop / New East Side?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in Chicago’s Loop / New East Side can be part of $78,989,639 when 60601 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 80,241-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 60601 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $78,989,639 and 80,241 lines for ZIP 60601. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Illinois state office campaigns are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $984 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
