ZIP 20191: $18.4 million across 47,362 FEC lines

A planned-community ZIP on the FEC tape

$18,399,983 divided by 47,362 is about $388 per itemized line. Reston’s contractor-and-condo reputation does not add a third packet fact. The file has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count, a GS-scale split, or a party split.

Forty-seven thousand three hundred sixty-two contributions is a long list. Workplace addresses, household addresses, and any committee that files 20191 all add rows. Do not treat 47,362 as a headcount of Reston residents. This packet has no donor headcount.

LobbyVault does not interpret $18,399,983 as a Northern Virginia political identity. Motive language is out of scope. The source is FEC.gov itemized receipts tagged 20191.

Reston filers often list an office park on Schedule A. That habit inflates line counts without proving a contractor census. $18,399,983 across 47,362 contributions is still a ZIP roll-up. The $388 mean is the ratio of those two packet facts. It is not a typical Reston household gift. 20190 remains a different key. If you quote Northern Virginia, list every ZIP you included. The donor directory lists names; it does not replace 47,362. FEC.gov controls if a later extract disagrees.

Fairfax County mail, one five-digit field

20191 is one of Reston’s two common ZIPs. A filer who lists an office park, a filer who lists a townhouse, and a joint fundraising committee that uses a 20191 suite all land in the same bucket. $18,399,983 is that bucket. It is not a resident-only book.

Named receipts on the ZIP 20191 FEC page are the way to see which committees appear. This guide will not invent a split. The 47,362-line count follows the same rule.

What stays off the $18,399,983 roll-up

Unitemized federal gifts never enter. Virginia state-office campaigns never enter. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter, even if they mention a Fairfax race. Cite $18,399,983 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 20191.

A restated joint-fundraising block can move the dollar headline more than hundreds of small lines. Recheck the live hub after quarterly filings. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Reston’s 20191 key is one of two common Reston codes. Contractor office parks can dominate named receipts without appearing as an employer split in this packet, because this packet has no employer field. $18,399,983 and 47,362 are the facts. The $388 mean is a ratio. It is not a typical GS-scale gift.

Fairfax County has dozens of five-digit keys. Tysons and Arlington are not 20191. Adding them manufactures a Northern Virginia figure. Keep 47,362 as the 20191 line count. Recheck the ZIP 20191 FEC page after quarterly filings. The donor directory lists names. FEC.gov controls if a later extract disagrees.

20191 beside 20190 and other Dulles-corridor codes

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same series. Nearby Reston, Herndon, and Vienna codes often show different means. Compare 47,362 against those peers rather than against a Key Biscayne ZIP with 24,000 lines and a higher mean. Filing shape is local to how addresses were entered.

Stacking Reston with Tysons or Arlington is a common recode. This page does not perform it. $18,399,983 is the 20191 key only. If you build a Northern Virginia total, list every ZIP you included.

How to read the hub without inventing a headcount

The ZIP 20191 FEC page holds $18,399,983 and 47,362 as currently indexed. The all-ZIP directory places the code among others. The donor directory lists names on itemized receipts. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls.

Filtering the donor directory to 20191 should reconcile to the ZIP hub, not to a homemade $388 average. When a name search and 47,362 disagree, the ZIP roll-up is the geographic total. No contractor map is attached to this figure.

Reston office parks and the two-number rule

20191 posts $18,399,983 across 47,362 contributions, about $388 per line. Reston’s planned-community grid mixes townhouses and contractor office parks. The FEC field does not distinguish those uses. Treating 47,362 as a headcount of Reston residents is a category error. This packet has no unique-donor count.

20190 is the other common Reston key. Adding it to 20191 without listing both codes manufactures a town figure. $18,399,983 is 20191 only. Herndon and Vienna are separate keys. The all-ZIP directory is the inventory.

Virginia state filings sit outside $18,399,983. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside. A restated office-park transfer can move the dollar headline more than hundreds of small lines. Recheck the ZIP 20191 FEC page. Named receipts show which committees appear. FEC.gov controls if a later extract disagrees with this snapshot.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 20191?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 20191 total $18,399,983 across 47,362 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 Reston residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $388 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 20191?

LobbyVault counts 47,362 itemized contributions for ZIP 20191. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and workplace-address batches 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 $18,399,983.

Does ZIP 20191 measure only Reston households?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office parks and committees that file 20191 can be part of $18,399,983 when that is what was entered. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 20191 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $18,399,983 and 47,362 lines for ZIP 20191. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Virginia state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
