SHERMAN OAKS, CA: $35.0M on 121,613 FEC receipts

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.

City field versus ZIP pages

Filers type a city. The Commission stores that string. ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing 91403-area ZIPs can diverge from $34,962,201 when some receipts used Encino or Los Angeles as the city.

The 121,613-line count follows the city field, not the postal map and not an employer field.

What this table omits

California state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts sit outside $34,962,201 and outside 121,613. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

Nothing here estimates how Sherman Oaks voted. Occupation and recipient live on other FEC fields. Use the city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index.

Citing SHERMAN OAKS, CA

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $34,962,201 with 121,613 together. Dropping the line count hides a mean near $288 and a volume Valley book.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Sherman Oaks receipt matters. Do not fold Los Angeles dollars into this pair.

How to use the Sherman Oaks hub

Start on the live Sherman Oaks city page. $34,962,201 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 121,613 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Encino, Studio City, Van Nuys, or Los Angeles as the “real” Valley address. Filers typed SHERMAN OAKS. LobbyVault indexed SHERMAN OAKS. Maps may call Sherman Oaks a neighborhood. FEC.gov stored a city string. Those are different products. A mean near $288 is only $34,962,201 divided by 121,613. It is not a typical Sherman Oaks household gift. Occupation, recipient, and party live on other FEC fields. None of those fields are in this packet. Do not infer turnout. Los Angeles is a different California city string with its own hub.

Cite the pair in one sentence: contributor city SHERMAN OAKS, CA, $34,962,201, 121,613 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. If a later extract on the live hub prints a different pair, discard this snapshot. Original filings remain on FEC.gov for any named Sherman Oaks receipt that needs a line-by-line check. California non-federal filings never enter either fact. Unitemized federal gifts never enter either fact. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations never enter either fact. 121,613 is not a unique-donor census. A high line count can include repeat givers. $34,962,201 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both. The live Sherman Oaks hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. ZIP pages split a different field. Neighborhood language does not replace the city field. Keep CA on the key.

Sherman Oaks’s pair on this extract is $34,962,201 and 121,613 lines, mean near $288. Print both. Encino, Studio City, and Van Nuys remain other Valley strings. Los Angeles remains a separate California hub. Maps may call Sherman Oaks a neighborhood; FEC.gov stored a city string. California state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. Repeat givers can inflate 121,613 without adding unique persons. The live Sherman Oaks FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. Open FEC.gov for a named receipt. Quote contributor city SHERMAN OAKS, CA with both packet numbers.
