The LOS ALTOS HILLS, CA contributor-city book

45,445 itemized contributions produced $80,477,479 under the LOS ALTOS HILLS, CA city key. About $1,771 per line follows from division. Repeat givers can lengthen 45,445 without adding new people; this packet has no unique-donor figure.

State CA on the same row keeps LOS ALTOS HILLS, CA distinct from same-named cities elsewhere. Santa Clara County’s Los Altos Hills string is not Los Altos. The Hills label is the FEC city key on this page. The city total can include a PAC or joint-fundraising committee address when that is the city filers typed. LobbyVault does not recode those rows out of the city string.

Postal confusion with Los Altos, Atherton, or Menlo Park is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $80,477,479 counts rows that stored LOS ALTOS HILLS, CA in state CA. 45,445 lines. About $1,771 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs.

Los Altos Hills’s high average line

Los Altos Hills is a concentration book on this extract: $80,477,479 on 45,445 lines produces a mean near $1,771. Fewer rows carry more dollars per row than a high-volume city book. That describes the average line, not a typical household.

The shape is two numbers. $80,477,479 without 45,445 looks like a single pile of money. 45,445 without $80,477,479 looks like a turnout figure. Together they are an itemized city book.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Los Altos Hills federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city LOS ALTOS HILLS, CA total $80,477,479 across 45,445 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in Los Altos Hills. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How should I read the 45,445 figure for LOS ALTOS HILLS, CA?

LobbyVault counts 45,445 itemized contributions for LOS ALTOS HILLS, CA. 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 45,445 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $80,477,479.

What city field does FEC use for Los Altos Hills?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed LOS ALTOS HILLS with state CA. Office addresses and mail that list Los Altos Hills can be part of $80,477,479 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 45,445-line count follows the same rule.

How current is the $80,477,479 total for Los Altos Hills?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $80,477,479 and 45,445 lines for LOS ALTOS HILLS, CA. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from CA are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $1,771 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
