ZIP Code 60602

A $1,122 mean on 22,676 Loop lines

Divide $25,439,188 by 22,676 and the mean line is about $1,122. Loop commercial codes often mix office letterhead with a thinner residential list than Lakeview or Lincoln Park. That $1,122 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical east Loop household.

Twenty-two thousand six hundred seventy-six itemizations is a substantial receipt list, shorter than some high-volume North Side neighborhood ZIPs. Repeat gifts still add rows. 22,676 is a line count, not a roster of people who live near Millennium Park or along Michigan Avenue.

The packet attaches no party split to $25,439,188 and no unique-donor field. Employer strings live elsewhere on LobbyVault. Quote 60602 with both $25,439,188 and 22,676 contributions. A higher mean than a dense residential ZIP is a prompt to inspect the largest lines.

What the 60602 field actually records

On FEC itemizations, 60602 is the contributor ZIP as filed. A Loop office, a downtown condo, or a committee that uses 60602 on its report all feed $25,439,188 when that is the five-digit key. Recoding the field into a household-only book would invent a filter the Commission does not apply here.

Memo entries and redesignations sit inside the 22,676-line count. This guide will not invent a person count the packet left out. Loop geography orients the map; it does not change the form field.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 60602?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 60602 total $25,439,188 across 22,676 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 Loop residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $1,122 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 60602?

LobbyVault counts 22,676 itemized contributions for ZIP 60602. 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 $25,439,188.

Does ZIP 60602 include only Loop residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 60602 grid can be part of $25,439,188 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 22,676-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 60602 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $25,439,188 and 22,676 lines for ZIP 60602. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Illinois state filings are outside both figures. LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
