Federal contributions from ZIP 22181: $14.5M

22181 is not 22180

$14,461,186 divided by 34,330 is about $421 per itemized line. Vienna splits across more than one ZIP. 22180 is a different roll-up with its own total. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count for 22181 only. It does not have a unique-donor count or a townwide Vienna sum.

Thirty-four thousand three hundred thirty contributions is a working list. Household streets and any committee that prints 22181 add rows. Do not treat 34,330 as a headcount of Vienna residents. LobbyVault does not assign motive to $14,461,186.

Fairfax County mail, a second Vienna bucket

Filers who list 22181 land in this bucket even if a neighbor lists 22180. $14,461,186 follows the form. Open the ZIP 22181 FEC page for named receipts. Combining 22181 with 22180 or 22182 without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC field to a homemade cluster.

Virginia state-office filings are a different dataset. Keep 22181 isolated unless you document a cluster. Compare 34,330 against 22180 on the all-ZIP directory rather than merging them in a sentence.
