ZIP Code 60614

Lincoln Park dollars next to a long line list

$204,296,337 divided by 137,092 is about $1,490 per itemized line. The mean is close to 60611’s, on a slightly shorter list. That similarity is a filing-shape observation, not a finding that the two neighborhoods “gave the same way.” Each ZIP is a separate FEC key. This page cites only 60614: $204,296,337 and 137,092.

One hundred thirty-seven thousand ninety-two itemizations is a volume ZIP. Repeat gifts, household pairs, and any committee that files a Lincoln Park address add rows. This packet has no unique-donor count. Do not treat 137,092 as a headcount of Lincoln Park residents.

LobbyVault does not publish a party split on $204,296,337. Ward politics, aldermanic races, and Illinois state campaigns are outside this federal ZIP roll-up. The source is FEC.gov itemized receipts tagged 60614.

A residential ZIP that still mixes entity types

60614 is often treated as a household ZIP. That reputation does not strip PAC and joint-fundraising rows out of $204,296,337. A committee that lists a Clark Street or Armitage address still posts 60614 when that is the ZIP on Schedule A. The accurate sentence remains a ZIP roll-up, not a resident census.

The 137,092-line count can include memo entries and redesignations. Open named receipts on the ZIP 60614 FEC page if you need committees. This guide will not guess the mix from the mean.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 60614?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 60614 total $204,296,337 across 137,092 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 Lincoln Park, Chicago. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $204,296,337 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 60614?

LobbyVault counts 137,092 itemized contributions for ZIP 60614. 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 137,092 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $204,296,337.

Does ZIP 60614 include only residents of Lincoln Park, Chicago?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in Lincoln Park, Chicago can be part of $204,296,337 when 60614 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 137,092-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 60614 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $204,296,337 and 137,092 lines for ZIP 60614. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from Lincoln Park, Chicago are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $1,490 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
