Federal contributions from ZIP 22203: $14.4M

Ballston mail is not all of Arlington

$14,377,635 divided by 43,929 is about $327 per itemized line. Arlington uses many 222xx codes. 22201, 22202, and 22205 are different roll-ups. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count or a countywide sum.

Forty-three thousand nine hundred twenty-nine contributions is a long list. High-rises, office corridors, and any committee that prints 22203 add rows. Do not treat 43,929 as a census of Arlington. LobbyVault does not interpret $14,377,635 as a Northern Virginia political identity.

Orange/Silver corridor ZIP on the tape

A condo, a ballston-area office, and a committee suite can share 22203. $14,377,635 follows the form. Open the ZIP 22203 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not split the 43,929 rows into household and office piles. Virginia state-office filings are a different dataset.

Adding 22203 to other Arlington ZIPs and calling the sum a county FEC total is a recode you must document. This page reports $14,377,635 for 22203 only.

What $14,377,635 leaves out

Unitemized federal gifts never enter. Virginia state-office campaigns never enter. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter, even if they mention an Arlington race. Cite $14,377,635 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 22203. Recheck the live hub after quarterly filings.

Live hub for 22203

The ZIP 22203 FEC page holds $14,377,635 and 43,929 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. This packet does not publish a unique-donor count.

What a 22203 total is for, and what it is not for

$14,377,635 is for citing itemized federal receipts tagged 22203. 43,929 is for citing how many such lines the index holds. Arlington (Ballston/Virginia Square) is for telling a reader which mail key they opened. Arlington County is not a substitute geography for a homemade metro sum. $14.4M is a rounded form of $14,377,635. Use the exact figure in a table; use $14.4M in a sentence that needs a short headline.

The total is not for counting unique people. This packet has no donor headcount. It is not for Virginia state-office activity. It is not for unitemized federal gifts. It is not a license to add 22201, 22202, and 22205 into $14,377,635. Those are other keys.

About $327 per line is a derived ratio from the two harvested numbers. Treat it as a shape note: 22203 may look different from a ZIP with the same dollars and twice the rows. Open the live hub for the current index. This prose is a snapshot. If the hub and this file disagree, FEC.gov and the live index win.

Keep the unit of analysis explicit. 22203 is a five-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations covering Arlington (Ballston/Virginia Square). $14,377,635 is the itemized-dollar total. 43,929 is the itemized-line total. $14.4M is $14,377,635 rounded. About $327 is those dollars divided by those lines. Arlington County is map context. 22201, 22202, and 22205 are other keys. Virginia state-office activity is out of scope. Unitemized federal gifts are out of scope. This packet does not publish a unique-donor count, so do not cite one. Open the ZIP 22203 FEC page for the live index, the all-ZIP directory for peers, and the donor directory for names on itemized receipts. If those tools and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls. Cite the ZIP, the dollars, and the line count together.

LobbyVault publishes this 22203 guide so the hub at /zip-codes/22203/ is not a table without sentences. The canonical path /guides/zip-22203-political-donations/ is the standalone URL. Both pages should show the same two facts: $14,377,635 and 43,929 contributions. Neither page invents a unique-donor count. Neither page converts $14.4M into a forecast. Readers who want the row list should use the hub. Readers who want the explanation should stay on the guide. The ZIP remains the five-digit contributor field on FEC itemizations, indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. A complete citation names ZIP 22203, $14,377,635, 43,929 lines, and FEC.gov as the source of the underlying receipts.

Itemized federal receipts tagged 22203 remain $14,377,635 on 43,929 lines in this extract. That is the whole quantitative claim. Geography labels do not add a third harvested number. Missing unique-donor counts stay missing.
