Key figures

  • ZIP 70810 FEC itemizations total $14,850,846 ($14.9M) across 25,394 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $585; one southeast Baton Rouge ZIP, not the parish.
  • This packet does not publish a unique-donor count.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Southeast Baton Rouge, not the whole parish

$14,850,846 divided by 25,394 is about $585 per itemized line. East Baton Rouge Parish uses many ZIPs. 70810 is one southeast code, not downtown 70802 and not a parishwide total. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count.

Twenty-five thousand three hundred ninety-four contributions is a mid-length list next to coastal ZIPs with 70,000 rows. The mean is correspondingly higher. That is arithmetic, not a story about who lives in 70810. Do not treat 25,394 as a census. LobbyVault does not read $14,850,846 as a Louisiana mood index.

Capitol-region mail on a federal form

Baton Rouge is a state-capital city. Federal itemizations still store a ZIP, not a building type. A firm suite and a household can share 70810. $14,850,846 follows the form. Open the ZIP 70810 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not guess which of the 25,394 rows are households.

Louisiana state-office filings are a different dataset even when the street is the same. Keep 70810 isolated unless you document a cluster of neighboring 708xx codes.
