LA JOLLA, CA

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city LA JOLLA, CA sum to $71,515,979 across 164,309 contributions. La Jolla is a postal city string that filers type separately from San Diego. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a neighborhood census and not a unique-donor count. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • La Jolla’s federal itemized city book is $71,515,979 across 164,309 contributions.
  • La Jolla is a typed city string, not a San Diego subtotal on this page.
  • Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

La Jolla as a typed city, not a San Diego subtotal

Divide $71,515,979 by 164,309 and the average itemized line is about $435. That mean is arithmetic. This packet has no median. $435 is not a typical gift from a La Jolla household.

San Diego is a separate city hub. Adding La Jolla to San Diego and calling the sum β€œSan Diego” would double-count or mislabel depending on how filers typed the city. This page reports the LA JOLLA string only.

A PAC or joint-fundraising committee that listed La Jolla can share the city field with household streets. LobbyVault does not recode those rows into San Diego. The 164,309 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Why the city string matters on the coast

Postal convention lets La Jolla appear as a city even where municipal maps treat it as part of San Diego. FEC.gov stored what was typed. Del Mar, Coronado, and Rancho Santa Fe are other strings. They are not inside $71,515,979.

Keep LA JOLLA, CA as the citation. Recheck $71,515,979 and 164,309 on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for La Jolla federal contributions?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city LA JOLLA, CA total $71,515,979 across 164,309 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of La Jolla residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
Is La Jolla part of the San Diego city total?
Not on this hub. San Diego is a separate city string. $71,515,979 counts rows that stored LA JOLLA, CA. Receipts that stored SAN DIEGO sit on the San Diego hub. Adding the two is a recode this packet does not publish. The 164,309 lines follow the La Jolla label only.
How should I read the 164,309 figure?
LobbyVault counts 164,309 itemized contribution lines for LA JOLLA, CA. That is a line count, not a headcount. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $71,515,979. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 164,309 should not be quoted as a La Jolla population of donors.
How current is La Jolla’s $71,515,979 total?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $71,515,979 and 164,309 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. California non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $435 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

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