Itemized FEC.gov receipts that list contributor ZIP 60654 add to $18,541,196 on 34,069 lines. Chicago uses this River North code north of the Loop, distinct from 60602 downtown and 60611 Streeterville. PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can share those five digits.

Key figures

  • ZIP 60654 FEC itemizations total $18,541,196 on 34,069 receipts.
  • Mean itemized amount is about $544.
  • 60654 is River North, not a Chicago citywide total.
  • Unique donor counts are not in this packet.

River North volume on 34,069 federal lines

Thirty-four thousand sixty-nine itemized receipts add to $18,541,196. The mean is about $544 per line ($18,541,196 / 34,069). That pairing is a mid-volume downtown-adjacent pattern: tens of thousands of receipts, a mid-hundreds mean, eight-figure dollars. River North mixes galleries, offices, and high-rises on the same five digits. The FEC field does not split those uses.

Sort the ZIP 60654 FEC page by amount. The $544 mean can look ordinary even if a few transfers are large, because 34,069 lines dilute them. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 34,069 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of River North.

Chicago is not a single ZIP. 60654 is one Near North code. 60611, 60610, 60602, and Lincoln Park tags have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 60654 to 60611 is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.

What 60654 is not

The aggregate is not an Illinois State Board of Elections total and not a City of Chicago campaign report. It is federal itemizations from FEC.gov. It is also not a party index. FEC schedules do not score ZIP codes by ideology, and this packet does not invent one.

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $18,541,196. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention an Illinois race. Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally them. A Loop-or-finance story that cites $18,541,196 without opening those strings is using a ZIP total as a substitute for an employer table it does not have.

Questions

How much did ZIP 60654 itemize in federal contributions?
LobbyVault's ZIP aggregate shows $18,541,196 across 34,069 FEC contributions listing 60654, sourced from FEC.gov. The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP on each receipt. The mean is about $544 per line, which is not a unique-donor average.
What is the average 60654 contribution?
Dividing $18,541,196 by 34,069 receipts yields about $544 per line. That is a mean, not a median, and not a per-person average. This packet does not include a unique-donor count, so the receipt total should not be read as a headcount of River North residents.
Does 60654 cover downtown Chicago?
60654 is River North, north of the Loop. 60602, 60611, and other Near North ZIPs have separate FEC hubs. Compare them on the all-ZIP index. The $18,541,196 figure is only the itemizations labeled 60654, not a downtown combined total.
Where can I see 60654 receipts?
On the ZIP 60654 FEC page, which lists the table behind $18,541,196 and 34,069 receipts. Rank other mailing codes on the all-ZIP index. Use the donor directory for person-level records. LobbyVault's 60654 packet reports the dollar total and the contribution count only.

ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
