ZIP 22101: $128.1 million across 160,437 FEC lines

Fairfax County volume on the federal tape

$128,142,015 divided by 160,437 is about $799 per itemized line. That mean tracks Potomac 20854 more closely than Arlington concentration ZIP 22219, which posts a much higher average on 7,096 lines. 22101 is a long receipt list. Large PAC or joint-fundraising rows can still sit inside $128,142,015. They are diluted in the average by 160,437 lines.

One hundred sixty thousand four hundred thirty-seven contributions is an itemization count, not a unique-person count. Repeat givers and household pairs can lengthen the list. This packet has no donor headcount. Cite 160,437 as a contribution-line total, not a census of McLean.

No party split is published on $128,142,015. CIA-adjacent geography is orientation and is not an FEC field. The Commission stores a ZIP string. LobbyVault reports the roll-up from FEC.gov.

22101 is not 22219 or 20854

Arlington 22219 and Potomac 20854 are separate FEC keys. This page cites only 22101: $128,142,015 and 160,437. Adding inner-suburb ZIPs is a recode. FEC.gov did not publish a combined Northern Virginia figure here.

A PAC or joint fundraising committee that lists a McLean address still posts 22101 when that is the ZIP on Schedule A. Household rows add the same way. Open the ZIP 22101 FEC page for named receipts rather than inferring the mix from the mean.

What $128,142,015 omits

Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Virginia state-office campaigns are omitted. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Virginia race. Cite $128,142,015 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 22101, 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 22101 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 high-volume suburban ZIP. $128,142,015 never includes unitemized federal gifts, and it never includes state-office money from McLean, Virginia. A newspaper that adds those systems to $128,142,015 has left FEC.gov. This page stays on the Commission’s itemized receipts tagged 22101.

22101 in the ZIP ranking

The all-ZIP directory ranks dollars. Compare 160,437 lines against 22219’s 7,096 if you are studying Northern Virginia filing shape. Do not convert that comparison into a claim about which ZIP is more politically active. FEC.gov does not score activity.

Dollar rank and line-count rank diverge on ZIP 22101. 160,437 receipts against $128,142,015 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.

Readers who arrive from a search for ZIP 22101 political donations usually want a single headline. The honest headline is two numbers: $128,142,015 and 160,437 itemized FEC contributions.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 22101?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 22101 total $128,142,015 across 160,437 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 McLean, Virginia. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $128,142,015 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 22101?

LobbyVault counts 160,437 itemized contributions for ZIP 22101. 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 160,437 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $128,142,015.

Does ZIP 22101 include only residents of McLean, Virginia?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in McLean, Virginia can be part of $128,142,015 when 22101 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 160,437-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 22101 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $128,142,015 and 160,437 lines for ZIP 22101. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from McLean, Virginia are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $799 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
