- The mean line is about $200; high line count, modest average.

Seventy-five thousand lines, not seventy-five thousand people
$14,993,700 divided by 75,097 is about $200 per itemized line. That is a small mean next to ZIPs with similar dollars and far fewer rows. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count. Do not treat 75,097 as a census of Uptown.
Chicago uses dozens of ZIPs. 60640 is one North Side code. Lakeview, Edgewater, and Lincoln Square keys are separate roll-ups. LobbyVault does not interpret $14,993,700 as a ranking of North Side civic intensity. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 60640.
Uptown mail versus a citywide Chicago total
A filer who lists a Broadway or Sheridan suite and a filer who lists a courtyard building both land in 60640 when that is what they typed. $14,993,700 is that bucket. Named receipts on the ZIP 60640 FEC page show which committees appear. This guide will not invent a household-versus-committee split among the 75,097 rows.
Adding 60640 to other Chicago ZIPs and calling the sum a Chicago FEC total is a recode you must document. This page reports $14,993,700 for 60640 only. Compare line volume on the all-ZIP directory; 75,097 is the distinctive shape here.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 60640?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 60640 total $14,993,700 across 75,097 contributions. The compact headline is $15.0M. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Uptown. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 60640?
- LobbyVault counts 75,097 itemized contributions for ZIP 60640. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. The mean of about $200 follows from dividing $14,993,700 by that line count. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure.
- Does ZIP 60640 cover all of Chicago’s North Side?
- No. 60640 is one Uptown-area mail key. Other North Side ZIPs are separate roll-ups. Committees and office addresses that file 60640 can be part of $14,993,700. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a citywide or residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear. This packet still does not publish a unique-donor count.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 60640 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $14,993,700 and 75,097 lines for ZIP 60640. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Illinois state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
