WALNUT CREEK, CA

Walnut Creek’s volume relative to its dollars

One hundred twenty-seven thousand seven hundred eighteen lines produce $26,934,936. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $211. That is a high-volume East Bay city string on this extract. A thinner California city on similar dollars would print a higher mean; that contrast is a shape fact, not a character study of downtown Walnut Creek.

Lafayette, Concord, and Pleasant Hill are other Contra Costa city strings. They are not inside $26,934,936 unless the filer typed WALNUT CREEK. Contra Costa County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Not a San Francisco or Oakland sum

San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley keep separate California hubs. Adding them to Walnut Creek would be a recode. This packet publishes WALNUT CREEK, CA only: $26,934,936 and 127,718 lines. A Concord household typed as WALNUT CREEK sits inside the pair; a Walnut Creek household typed as LAFAYETTE does not. State CA on the key is required in the citation.

Office addresses can share the Walnut Creek city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 127,718 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Questions

What is Walnut Creek’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city WALNUT CREEK, CA total $26,934,936 across 127,718 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Walnut Creek residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Walnut Creek’s 127,718 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 127,718 itemized lines for WALNUT CREEK, CA. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $26,934,936.

Does Walnut Creek’s total include Oakland or Concord?

Only if the filer typed WALNUT CREEK. Oakland, Concord, and Lafayette are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $26,934,936 is the WALNUT CREEK, CA match. The 127,718 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Walnut Creek facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $26,934,936 and 127,718 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 $211 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
