ZIP 20037: $47.5 million on 64,264 FEC receipts

Sixty-four thousand D.C. mail rows

Divide $47,485,005 by 64,264 and the mean line is about $739. That average is a ratio. It is not a typical gift and it is not a median. A Foggy Bottom and West End mail ZIP can mix ordinary individual rows with committee rows on the same five digits. FEC Schedule A stores whatever ZIP the filer put on the receipt. LobbyVault sums those rows.

Sixty-four thousand two hundred sixty-four itemized lines is a mid-volume ZIP. Sorting the ZIP hub by dollars places 20037 among other $47 million codes. Sorting by contribution count places it below six-figure lists. Both sorts are the same public file. Nothing in this aggregate assigns a party or a motive to the $47,485,005.

District of Columbia commercial ZIPs collect office addresses as readily as apartments. $47,485,005 is a ZIP roll-up of whatever five-digit code was filed. It is not a ward total. 64,264 remains a line count on the same extract. Quote both numbers.

How FEC addressing works on 20037

Individual contribution files include a ZIP field taken from the contributor record. Committees and joint fundraising committees often use a business ZIP. When those entities appear as contributors or as the address on a transferred receipt, their ZIP is 20037 if that is what was filed. Treating $47,485,005 as what residents donated overstates a neighborhood and understates how FEC addressing works.

Unitemized gifts below the federal itemization threshold never enter this total. D.C. local filings never enter it. Independent expenditures paid by a committee with a different ZIP never enter it. The $47,485,005 figure is a ZIP roll-up of itemized federal receipts, sourced from FEC.gov.

District mail codes like 20037 are easy to misread as resident books. FEC.gov stored the ZIP that was filed. $47,485,005 across 64,264 lines is what that field sums to in this aggregate. A mean near $739 follows from division. Unique donors are not in the packet.

Reading 64,264 lines without a person count

Each of the 64,264 rows is a disclosed itemization, not a unique person. Repeat contributors, redesignations, and memo entries can add lines. LobbyVault’s packet for this ZIP does not publish a unique-donor count, so this guide does not invent one. If you need names, open the ZIP 20037 FEC page and follow receipts to committees.

Amendments still matter. One restated schedule can move millions inside $47,485,005. The live hub is the place to check after an FEC amendment. This prose is a snapshot of the aggregate, not a live ticker.

Itemized-only scope still needs repeating. $47,485,005 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 20037.

20037 beside other ZIP totals

The all-ZIP directory ranks contributor ZIPs by the same FEC series. 20037’s combination of $47,485,005 and 64,264 lines is a mid-mean pattern. Neighboring 200xx codes in that directory may show more receipts and a lower mean. Use the directory to compare, and keep the comparison inside itemized federal receipts.

FEC.gov does not publish a mean table. A mean of about $739 is arithmetic from $47,485,005 and 64,264 so a reader can redo the division.

Cycle coverage in the underlying bulk files can span more than one election. This guide does not invent a cycle list because the packet does not include one. Treat $47,485,005 as the ZIP roll-up on the extract LobbyVault indexed, then confirm the live hub if you need a dated window.

Where the original filings live

LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov bulk data. The ZIP 20037 page is the table behind these figures. The donor directory is a name-level view of itemized contributors across ZIPs, not a substitute for the 20037 roll-up. If a later extract disagrees with $47,485,005 or 64,264, the FEC filing controls.

Memo entries and redesignations can sit inside 64,264. They are still itemizations. Deleting them by hand would create a homemade total that is no longer $47,485,005. Leave the count intact unless you document a filter.

How to cite 20037 without inflating a neighborhood

The accurate sentence is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 20037 total $47,485,005 across 64,264 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $739 follows from those two facts. It is not a median.

Because unique donors are not in this packet, you cannot convert 64,264 into a person count. Open the ZIP 20037 FEC page for named receipts. Use the all-ZIP directory to compare other codes. Use the donor directory for names across ZIPs. If the live hub reprints a different $47,485,005 or 64,264, the newer extract wins.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 20037?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 20037 total $47,485,005 across 64,264 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. The mean of about $739 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 20037?

LobbyVault counts 64,264 itemized contributions for ZIP 20037. 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 $47,485,005.

Does $47.5 million mean people who live in 20037 gave that much?

The ZIP is the five-digit code on the FEC itemization. Joint fundraising and PAC addresses can appear in the same $47,485,005 total. 64,264 is a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Treating $47,485,005 as resident-only giving overstates a neighborhood and understates how FEC addressing works. Open the ZIP 20037 hub for named receipts.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 20037 totals?

Figures come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $47,485,005 and 64,264 contributions for ZIP 20037. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are outside both numbers. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
