Federal contributions from ZIP 22202

344,307 lines against $66,451,569

$66,451,569 divided by 344,307 is about $193 per itemized line. That mean is among the lowest in this dollar band: a high-volume stream, not a concentration file. It is still a ratio of two FEC counts, not a median, and not a typical Crystal City household gift. The packet has no unique-donor field.

Three hundred forty-four thousand three hundred seven itemizations is the tell. Repeat itemizations, workplace giving in a dense office corridor, and bundled events can all lengthen the list. 344,307 is a contribution-line total. Quoting it as a population of Arlington residents is a misread.

No party share is attached to $66,451,569. Employer strings and recipient committees live on other pages. 22202 is a geographic key on the contributor record.

Why an office-corridor ZIP runs long

22202 covers Crystal City, Pentagon City, and adjacent Arlington mail. A contributor who lists a workplace in that grid, a residential address, or a committee that files 22202 adds to $66,451,569 when that ZIP is on Schedule A. Treating the total as household-only giving misstates a commercial-corridor field.

The 344,307-line count includes memo entries and redesignations. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted. Open named receipts if you need identities.

What $66,451,569 leaves out

Unitemized federal gifts are out. Virginia state campaign reports are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out, even if the ad names a Northern Virginia candidate. Cite $66,451,569 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 22202.

A ZIP with 344,307 lines still moves when large schedules are amended. Recheck the ZIP 22202 FEC page after a restatement. This packet does not print a cycle year; compare harvest dates before calling two totals a conflict.

22202 versus other Arlington codes

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same FEC series. 22207 and 22201 may show similar dollars on far fewer lines. That contrast is filing shape: 22202 is a volume ZIP with a $193 mean. It is not a claim that Crystal City is “more engaged.” FEC.gov does not measure engagement.

Do not stack 22202 with neighboring 222xx codes into an Arlington metro total on this page. The file reports one key: 22202, $66,451,569, 344,307 contributions.

If the live hub disagrees with $66,451,569 or 344,307, the later FEC.gov extract controls. A 344,307-line file is the wrong place to freeze a snapshot as permanent.

Why 344,307 lines change how you read $66,451,569

ZIP 22202 totals $66,451,569 across 344,307 itemized FEC contributions. That line count is the largest in this batch. The mean of about $193 follows from the ratio: a dense Crystal City and Pentagon City office corridor producing a long receipt list, not a handful of transfers. Quote $66,451,569 with 344,307. Quote neither number alone. The packet has no unique-donor field, so 344,307 is not a population of Arlington residents.

Workplace itemizations in 22202 can lengthen the list without changing the five-digit key. Residential addresses and committee addresses share the same ZIP on Schedule A. LobbyVault does not split those categories here. Repeat gifts add rows. Memo entries add rows. Virginia state filings never enter $66,451,569. Unitemized federal gifts never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter it.

A 344,307-line file is the wrong place to freeze a snapshot. Recheck the ZIP 22202 FEC page after a restatement. Do not stack 22202 with 22201 or 22207 into an Arlington metro total on this page. Nearby codes with similar dollars and far fewer lines are a different mix, not a more generous town. FEC.gov does not score towns. Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Named receipts on the hub and the donor directory answer identity questions this roll-up cannot.

Crystal City’s 344,307 lines against $66,451,569 are the extreme volume pairing in this batch. The mean of about $193 follows from that ratio. Do not quote 344,307 as a population. Do not quote $66,451,569 without the line count. Virginia state filings stay outside the total. Unitemized federal gifts stay outside it. Open the ZIP 22202 FEC page for the live aggregate. Open the all-ZIP directory to set 344,307 next to 22201 and 22207 without stacking dollars. Open the donor directory for names. Recheck after a restatement; a file this long still moves. When the live hub disagrees, FEC.gov controls. Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 22202?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 22202 total $66,451,569 across 344,307 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Crystal City residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $193 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Why does ZIP 22202 have 344,307 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 344,307 itemized contributions for ZIP 22202. That is a line count on a dense office-corridor ZIP, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, workplace itemizations, and memo entries can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $66,451,569.

Does ZIP 22202 include only Crystal City or Pentagon City residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Workplace and committee addresses in the 22202 grid can be part of $66,451,569 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 344,307-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 22202 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $66,451,569 and 344,307 lines for ZIP 22202. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Virginia state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
