Federal contributions from ZIP 22205: $14.3M

West Arlington 22205 is not Ballston 22203

$14,291,834 divided by 49,160 is about $291 per itemized line. Forty-nine thousand one hundred sixty contributions is a long list. 22203, 22207, and 22201 are different roll-ups. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count for 22205 only. It does not have a unique-donor count.

Do not treat 49,160 as a census of Arlington. Repeat gifts and any committee that prints 22205 add rows. LobbyVault does not assign motive to $14,291,834. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 22205.

LobbyVault publishes this 22205 guide so the hub at /zip-codes/22205/ is not a table without sentences. The canonical path /guides/zip-22205-political-donations/ is the standalone URL. Both pages should show the same two facts: $14,291,834 and 49,160 contributions. Neither page invents a unique-donor count. Neither page converts $14.3M 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 22205, $14,291,834, 49,160 lines, and FEC.gov as the source of the underlying receipts.

Itemized federal receipts tagged 22205 remain $14,291,834 on 49,160 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.
