FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 20003 total $495,874,427 across 139,823 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 20003?

LobbyVault counts 139,823 itemized contributions for ZIP 20003. 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 139,823 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $495,874,427.

Does ZIP 20003 include only residents of Capitol Hill in Washington?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in Capitol Hill in Washington can be part of $495,874,427 when 20003 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 139,823-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 20003 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $495,874,427 and 139,823 lines for ZIP 20003. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from Capitol Hill in Washington are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $3,550 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Nearly $496 million on 139,823 lines

$495,874,427 divided by 139,823 is about $3,550 per itemized line. That mean sits between downtown concentration ZIPs and high-volume residential-looking ZIPs. The packet still has no median and no unique-donor count. Arithmetic is not a typical-gift portrait.

One hundred thirty-nine thousand eight hundred twenty-three itemizations is a long list. Hill-adjacent ZIPs accumulate receipts from people who list a work address, from committees that file a 20003 mail drop, and from itemized individuals. FEC.gov does not separate those groups in this ZIP total. LobbyVault reports the sum.

This aggregate carries no party split. Reading $495,874,427 as a Capitol Hill ideology score is a category error. The field is a ZIP string on an itemized receipt.

20003 as a contributor ZIP, not a block map

A joint fundraising committee or PAC that uses a 20003 address adds to $495,874,427 when that ZIP is filed. So does an individual who lists a Southeast D.C. home. The table does not tell you which share is which. The honest sentence is: itemized federal receipts tagged 20003 total $495,874,427.

The 139,823 figure counts rows. Repeat givers add rows. This page does not convert the line count into a population of donors.

Exclusions from the 20003 total

Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. D.C. local-office filings are omitted. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a District race. $495,874,427 is FEC itemized receipts only.

Joint-fundraising amendments remain relevant on Hill-adjacent mail codes. Use the live ZIP 20003 FEC page after a large restatement.

Repeat rows are a feature of FEC itemization, not an error in 139,823. A contributor who gives twice is two lines. A redesignation can be another line. Subtracting duplicates without a documented match key would manufacture a total other than $495,874,427. Leave 139,823 as a contribution-line count.

Placing 20003 among other D.C. ZIPs

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same series. Other 2000x codes will appear nearby in dollar rank. Compare 139,823 lines against those peers. A similar dollar total with fewer receipts is a different mix of large transfers versus many itemized gifts. FEC.gov publishes the receipts, not an interpretation of the mix.

Stacking Capitol Hill in Washington with neighboring ZIPs is a common recode. This page does not perform it. $495,874,427 is the 20003 key only. If you build a metro total, list every ZIP you included and do not call the sum an FEC publication. The all-ZIP directory is the inventory for that work.

Where to go from this guide

The ZIP 20003 FEC page is the live table. The all-ZIP directory ranks other codes. The donor directory lists names on itemized rows. Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault — $495,874,427, 139,823 contributions, ZIP 20003.

LobbyVault’s donor directory is a name-level view across ZIPs. It is not a second copy of $495,874,427. Filtering that directory to 20003 should reconcile to the ZIP hub, not to a homemade average. When a name search and 139,823 disagree, the ZIP roll-up on the hub is the geographic total.

Filing shape on ZIP 20003: high-volume mixed

Capitol Hill in Washington appears on FEC Schedule A as ZIP 20003. The indexed total is $495,874,427 across 139,823 contributions. That high-volume mixed pattern is the fact the two numbers support. It is not a ranking of civic virtue and not a party split. FEC.gov did not attach those labels to this aggregate.

Use the ZIP 20003 FEC page as the live table. Use the all-ZIP directory to see where $495,874,427 sits among other codes. Use the donor directory for names. If an extract later prints a different dollar figure, the Commission’s filing wins. This prose will not silently rewrite 139,823.

A practical workflow for ZIP 20003 starts with $495,874,427, then 139,823, then the mean of about $3,550. Those three quantities describe a filing shape for Capitol Hill on FEC itemizations. They do not describe a precinct, a party, or a motive. After the two packet facts, the next honest step is named receipts on the ZIP 20003 FEC page, not a homemade average of household income. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP do not belong in $495,874,427 even if they mention a local race. State campaigns do not belong in $495,874,427. Unitemized federal gifts do not belong in $495,874,427. Keep the citation inside FEC.gov itemized receipts tagged 20003, indexed on LobbyVault, and recheck the hub after a large amendment rather than treating this prose as a ticker.
