Oakland, CA: the itemized dollar total
Divide $122,533,634 by 437,635 and the average itemized line is about $280. Averages hide mixed line sizes. This packet has no distribution, so $280 is a mean, not a typical resident gift.
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. East Bay Oakland is the city field. Alameda County is not an FEC dimension on this roll-up.
Postal confusion with Berkeley, Alameda, or San Leandro is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $122,533,634 counts rows that stored OAKLAND, CA in state CA. 437,635 lines. About $280 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs.
Oakland’s high line count
Oakland is a volume book on this extract: 437,635 lines produce $122,533,634, a mean near $280. Many itemized rows, smaller average line. Volume is not the same as unique people.
A later extract can move Oakland across that description if large lines are refunded or if many small lines are added. Recheck $122,533,634 and 437,635 on the hub.

Questions
- What does LobbyVault show for Oakland federal contributions?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city OAKLAND, CA total $122,533,634 across 437,635 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 Oakland. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- How should I read the 437,635 figure for OAKLAND, CA?
- LobbyVault counts 437,635 itemized contributions for OAKLAND, 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 437,635 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $122,533,634.
- What city field does FEC use for Oakland?
- No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed OAKLAND with state CA. Office addresses and mail that list Oakland can be part of $122,533,634 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 437,635-line count follows the same rule.
- How current is the $122,533,634 total for Oakland?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $122,533,634 and 437,635 lines for OAKLAND, 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 $280 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.
