ZIP 20015: $50.7 million across 120,011 FEC lines

Volume in a District of Columbia mail code

$50,697,937 divided by 120,011 is about $422 per itemized line. That mean is in the same band as several other high-count ZIPs in this extract. It is not a median and it is not a typical household gift. A few large PAC or joint-fundraising receipts can sit inside $50,697,937 without showing up in the average as a typical gift. The packet publishes two facts: the dollar total and the contribution count.

One hundred twenty thousand eleven itemizations is a long receipt list. Compare that shape with codes that post similar dollars on 15,000 or 50,000 lines. Both shapes are legal FEC filings. LobbyVault reports the roll-up that FEC.gov already disclosed. No party share is attached to $50,697,937.

District of Columbia mail codes collect office addresses as readily as apartments. $50,697,937 is a ZIP roll-up of whatever five-digit code was filed. It is not a ward total and it is not a resident census. 120,011 remains a line count on the same extract.

What the 20015 ZIP field actually stores

Schedule A stores a five-digit contributor ZIP. A PAC, a joint fundraising committee, or an individual who lists 20015 will add to $50,697,937 when that is the ZIP on the receipt. FEC.gov does not mark which rows are homes. This aggregate therefore cannot be cited as resident giving in 20015.

The 120,011 figure counts itemized lines. Repeat contributors add lines. Redesignations and memo entries can add lines. This packet has no unique-donor count, so this guide does not invent a headcount of people behind 20015.

On a ZIP with 120,011 lines, the temptation is to treat the count as a population. It is not. Repeat itemizations, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows. $50,697,937 remains the matching dollar total. Cite the pair, not a headcount the packet never published.

What $50,697,937 leaves out

Unitemized federal gifts below the itemization threshold never enter this total. D.C. or Maryland state filings never enter it. Independent expenditures paid by a committee with a different ZIP never enter it, even if the advertisement mentions a local race. $50,697,937 is itemized federal receipts tagged 20015, sourced from FEC.gov.

Amended joint-fundraising reports can still move a high-volume ZIP. After a large restatement, use the live ZIP 20015 FEC page rather than treating $50,697,937 as a frozen figure. This prose is a snapshot of the aggregate indexed on LobbyVault.

Itemized-only scope still needs repeating on a high-volume ZIP. $50,697,937 never includes unitemized federal gifts. Mixing those systems with this ZIP total leaves FEC.gov. This page stays on the Commission’s itemized receipts tagged 20015.

20015 among other ZIP totals

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same FEC series by dollars. Other 200xx codes will appear on the same screen with different line counts. A ZIP with more receipts and a lower mean is not more grassroots. A ZIP with fewer receipts and a higher mean is not more captured. Compare $50,697,937 and 120,011 against peers as filing shape, then open named receipts if you need committees.

Dollar rank and line-count rank diverge on ZIP 20015. 120,011 receipts against $50,697,937 is the pairing that describes filing shape. FEC.gov does not score generosity.

Source and follow-on tables

LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov bulk data. The ZIP 20015 FEC page is the live table behind $50,697,937 and 120,011. The all-ZIP directory ranks other five-digit codes. The donor directory lists names on itemized rows across ZIPs. If a later extract disagrees with the printed numbers, the Commission’s filing controls.

The live ZIP 20015 FEC page can disagree with this snapshot after an amendment. When the numbers differ, the later FEC.gov extract controls. LobbyVault indexes; it does not freeze $50,697,937.

How to cite 20015 without inflating a neighborhood

The accurate sentence is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 20015 total $50,697,937 across 120,011 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $422 follows from those two facts. It is not a median.

Unique donors are not in the packet. Party is not in the packet. 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 $50,697,937 or 120,011, the newer FEC extract wins and this snapshot is stale.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 20015?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 20015 total $50,697,937 across 120,011 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $50,697,937 when that five-digit code was filed.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 20015?

LobbyVault counts 120,011 itemized contributions for ZIP 20015. 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. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $50,697,937.

Does ZIP 20015 include only residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses can be part of $50,697,937 when 20015 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 120,011-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 20015 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $50,697,937 and 120,011 lines for ZIP 20015. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $422 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
