ZIP 20008: $124.0 million across 217,638 FEC lines

Northwest volume, not a downtown concentration ZIP

$123,976,662 divided by 217,638 is about $570 per itemized line. That mean tracks Chevy Chase 20815 and Upper West Side 10023 more closely than downtown 20005. 20008 is a long receipt list. Large PAC or joint-fundraising rows can still sit inside $123,976,662. They are diluted in the average by 217,638 lines.

Two hundred seventeen thousand six hundred thirty-eight contributions is an itemization count, not a unique-person count. Repeat givers, embassy-adjacent office addresses, and household pairs can lengthen the list. This packet has no donor headcount. Cite 217,638 as a contribution-line total.

No party split is published on $123,976,662. Northwest D.C. geography is orientation. It is not an FEC finding about ward ideology. The Commission stores a ZIP string.

Keep 20008 separate from 20007 and 20001

Georgetown 20007 and downtown 20001 are different contributor ZIPs. This page cites only 20008: $123,976,662 and 217,638. Adding D.C. codes is a recode. FEC.gov did not publish a combined District figure here.

A PAC or joint fundraising committee that lists a Connecticut Avenue address still posts 20008 when that is the ZIP on Schedule A. Household rows add the same way. Open the ZIP 20008 FEC page for named receipts rather than inferring the mix from the mean.

What $123,976,662 omits

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. Cite $123,976,662 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 20008, sourced from FEC.gov.

A long line list can absorb small amendments. A restated joint-fundraising block can still move the headline. Recheck the live ZIP 20008 FEC page after large filings. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Itemized-only scope still needs repeating on a extreme volume ZIP. $123,976,662 never includes unitemized federal gifts, and it never includes state-office money from Woodley Park and Cleveland Park. A newspaper that adds those systems to $123,976,662 has left FEC.gov. This page stays on the Commission’s itemized receipts tagged 20008.

20008 in the ZIP ranking

The all-ZIP directory ranks dollars. 20008’s rank on dollars will not match its rank on line count. Compare 217,638 receipts against downtown codes with fewer lines and higher means. FEC.gov publishes both shapes. It does not crown a more engaged neighborhood.

Dollar rank and line-count rank diverge on ZIP 20008. 217,638 receipts against $123,976,662 is the pairing that describes filing shape. A peer ZIP with similar dollars and one-tenth the lines is a different mix, not a more generous town. FEC.gov does not score generosity.

Source tables

Readers who arrive from a search for ZIP 20008 political donations usually want a single headline. The honest headline is two numbers: $123,976,662 and 217,638 itemized FEC contributions. A $570 mean is a third derived figure, useful only as a scale check. Woodley Park / Cleveland Park is a mail-code label, not a finding that every dollar came from people who live there.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 20008?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 20008 total $123,976,662 across 217,638 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 Woodley Park and Cleveland Park. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $123,976,662 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 20008?

LobbyVault counts 217,638 itemized contributions for ZIP 20008. 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 217,638 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $123,976,662.

Does ZIP 20008 include only residents of Woodley Park and Cleveland Park?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in Woodley Park and Cleveland Park can be part of $123,976,662 when 20008 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 217,638-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 20008 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $123,976,662 and 217,638 lines for ZIP 20008. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from Woodley Park and Cleveland Park are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $570 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
