SHERMAN OAKS, CA

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city SHERMAN OAKS, CA sum to $34,962,201 across 121,613 contributions. Sherman Oaks is stored as its own city string even though maps treat it as a Los Angeles neighborhood. The line count is a volume Valley book, which pulls the mean toward two hundred ninety. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • Sherman Oaks’s federal itemized city book is $34,962,201 across 121,613 contributions.
  • The mean near $288 reflects a high line count on this extract.
  • Sherman Oaks is a typed city string, not a Los Angeles overlay.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Sherman Oaks as a typed city, not a neighborhood overlay

One hundred twenty-one thousand six hundred thirteen lines produce $34,962,201. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $288. Encino, Studio City, and Van Nuys are other Valley city strings. They are not inside $34,962,201 unless the filer typed SHERMAN OAKS.

Los Angeles keeps a separate California hub. Recoding Sherman Oaks into an LA city total would mix keys. $34,962,201 is the SHERMAN OAKS match only.

Volume first on a thirty-five-million-dollar total

The 121,613-line count is high for this dollar band. That is why the mean sits in the high two-hundreds. The shape is arithmetic from two packet facts, not a portrait of Ventura Boulevard.

Household streets and office addresses can share the city field. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 121,613 lines are receipts, not unique persons. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Sherman Oaks federal contributions?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city SHERMAN OAKS, CA total $34,962,201 across 121,613 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Sherman Oaks residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
Is 121,613 the number of Sherman Oaks donors?
No. LobbyVault counts 121,613 itemized contribution lines for SHERMAN OAKS, CA. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $34,962,201.
Does Sherman Oaks’s total include Los Angeles or Encino?
No, unless the filer typed SHERMAN OAKS. Los Angeles and Encino are separate California city hubs. $34,962,201 is the SHERMAN OAKS, CA match. The 121,613 lines follow the same rule. Neighborhood and Valley labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.
How current is Sherman Oaks’s $34,962,201 figure?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $34,962,201 and 121,613 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.

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