ZIP 20006: $473.2 million on 66,534 FEC receipts

Dollars versus line count in 20006

$473,204,371 divided by 66,534 is about $7,110 per itemized line. The mean is higher than several neighboring 2000x ZIPs that show more than 100,000 lines. 20006 is a mid-volume, high-dollar ZIP: enough receipts to be a real stream, few enough that large transfers still lift the average.

Sixty-six thousand five hundred thirty-four itemizations is not a unique-person count. This packet has no donor headcount. Repeat gifts and reallocations can add lines. Quote 66,534 as a contribution-line total.

LobbyVault does not attach a party share to $473,204,371. Foggy Bottom and downtown office geography is orientation. It is not an extra FEC fact and not a claim about who “controls” the ZIP.

Committee mail in a small downtown ZIP

20006 is a compact commercial ZIP. PACs, associations, and joint fundraising committees that list a 17th Street or Pennsylvania Avenue address can post 20006 on Schedule A. Individuals who use a work ZIP do the same. $473,204,371 is the sum of those filings, not a census of residents.

Because committee density is high, the ZIP field is a poor proxy for neighborhood opinion. FEC.gov records addresses. It does not survey voters.

What the $473,204,371 total omits

Unitemized federal gifts never enter. Non-federal D.C. filings never enter. Independent expenditures from another ZIP never enter. Cite $473,204,371 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 20006.

A restated joint-fundraising schedule can move a visible share of a $473 million ZIP. Check the live ZIP 20006 FEC page after amendments.

Committee mail in downtown Washington west of the White House grid is why the residential reading of $473,204,371 fails. A PAC, a joint fundraising committee, or a work address that lists 20006 is counted. FEC.gov stored the ZIP that was filed. LobbyVault summed it. Recoding those rows out of $473,204,371 would be a new dataset.

20006 in the national ZIP ranking

The all-ZIP directory uses the same FEC series. 20006’s 66,534 lines sit below some peer D.C. codes and above concentration ZIPs with a few thousand receipts. Use that contrast to describe filing shape. Do not convert it into a ranking of political intensity. The Commission does not publish intensity.

Independent expenditures mentioning a race near downtown Washington west of the White House grid can be paid by a committee with a different ZIP. Those disbursements do not move $473,204,371. Mixing independent-expenditure tables with this ZIP total double-counts some activity and misses other activity. Keep the series separate.

The ZIP 20006 FEC page holds the live aggregate for $473,204,371 and 66,534. The all-ZIP directory ranks other codes. The donor directory opens names on itemized rows. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

Title, H1, and table on the live hub should show the same $473,204,371 and 66,534 this guide cites. If they do not, the hub was rebuilt from a newer extract. Trust the hub over this paragraph. Guides are snapshots of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

How to cite ZIP 20006 without inflating downtown Washington west of the White House grid

The accurate citation is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 20006 total $473,204,371 across 66,534 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Shorthand such as “downtown Washington west of the White House grid donated $473,204,371” drops the itemized-only limit and the PAC-address caveat. Keep both limits in the sentence at least once.

A mean of about $7,110 describes a mid-volume high-mean ZIP. It does not describe a median resident. Because this packet has no unique-donor count, 66,534 stays a line count. Researchers who need persons must match names on the ZIP 20006 FEC page rather than dividing $473,204,371 by a guessed household count.

ZIP 20006 will keep attracting “how much did downtown D.C. 20006 give” queries because searchers use ZIP as a proxy for a neighborhood. FEC.gov does not use ZIP that way. It stores a five-digit contributor field. $473,204,371 across 66,534 lines is what that field sums to in this aggregate. A mean near $7,110 follows from division. Unique donors are not in the packet. Party is not in the packet. The PAC and joint-fundraising caveat is in the source note and belongs in any careful citation. Use the all-ZIP directory only to compare other codes on the same series. Use the donor directory for names. If the live hub reprints a different $473,204,371 or 66,534, the newer FEC extract wins and this snapshot is stale.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 20006?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 20006 total $473,204,371 across 66,534 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in downtown Washington west of the White House grid. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $473,204,371 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 20006?

LobbyVault counts 66,534 itemized contributions for ZIP 20006. 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 66,534 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $473,204,371.

Does ZIP 20006 include only residents of downtown Washington west of the White House grid?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in downtown Washington west of the White House grid can be part of $473,204,371 when 20006 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 66,534-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 20006 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $473,204,371 and 66,534 lines for ZIP 20006. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from downtown Washington west of the White House grid are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $7,110 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
