THOUSAND OAKS, CA: $17.0M on 102,052 FEC receipts

102,052 lines behind THOUSAND OAKS's $17.0M

THOUSAND OAKS shows 102,052 itemizations behind $16,959,387. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. A file this long at $17.0M is a high-volume city field: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. The implied mean is about $166.

Thousand Oaks is a high-line Conejo Valley book: 102,052 itemizations against $17.0 million, a mean near $166. Westlake Village and Agoura Hills sit on other city keys even when a news map treats the valley as one place. 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. Read $16,959,387 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of Thousand Oaks gave. The 102,052 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints Thousand Oaks together with Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, and Simi Valley, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $16,959,387 on 102,052 THOUSAND OAKS, CA rows, mean near $166. Keep the stored spelling THOUSAND OAKS in the citation.

Why THOUSAND OAKS on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Thousand Oaks give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city THOUSAND OAKS, CA total $16,959,387 across 102,052 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. The figure is itemized receipts, not unique persons. Repeat gifts add rows. Westlake Village is a different city string.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $16,959,387. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $166 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Outside the THOUSAND OAKS itemized book

$16,959,387 is not spending by Thousand Oaks candidates. A candidate who lives in Thousand Oaks can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged THOUSAND OAKS, CA can go to a committee anywhere. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside both packet facts.

Postal confusion with Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, and Simi Valley is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $16,959,387 counts rows that stored THOUSAND OAKS, CA. 102,052 lines. About $166 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs. CA state-office receipts are omitted.

THOUSAND OAKS versus Los Angeles on the FEC tape

THOUSAND OAKS is a high-volume Ventura County book in the Conejo Valley in Ventura County. 102,052 lines produce $16,959,387, a mean near $166. That line count is not a unique-donor count. Comparing this mean to Los Angeles is only valid on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts.

A Thousand Oaks total of $16,959,387 does not absorb Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, and Simi Valley. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State CA stays on the citation so THOUSAND OAKS, CA is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Mixing in CA state-campaign data breaks the comparison.

City total versus postal codes in CA

102,052 city-field lines can spread across many ZIPs or cluster in a few. This packet does not list those ZIPs. Open the ZIP directory and the live Thousand Oaks hub rather than guessing the split. After an amendment wave, recheck both the city hub and any ZIP you compared. Snapshots drift independently.

Because this packet carries only city, state, dollar total, and contribution count, every other story about Thousand Oaks politics sits outside the extract. That includes candidate quality, issue fights, and local election results. This guide stays on the two numbers FEC.gov supplied for the city field: $16,959,387 and 102,052.

Source tables for $16,959,387

A mean of about $166 is division of $16,959,387 by 102,052. It is fair to report as arithmetic. It is not fair to report as a typical resident of Thousand Oaks. Means move with a few large lines.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city THOUSAND OAKS, CA?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city THOUSAND OAKS, CA total $16,959,387 across 102,052 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 Thousand Oaks. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $166 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Does 102,052 lines mean 102,052 Thousand Oaks residents?

No. The figure is itemized receipts, not unique persons. Repeat gifts add rows. Westlake Village is a different city string. LobbyVault counts 102,052 itemized contributions for THOUSAND OAKS, CA against $16,959,387. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 102,052 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Thousand Oaks total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed THOUSAND OAKS with state CA. Office addresses and mail that list Thousand Oaks can be part of $16,959,387 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 102,052-line count follows the same rule.

Are Thousand Oaks numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $16,959,387 and 102,052 lines for THOUSAND OAKS, 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.
