ZIP 22219: $514.1 million on 7,096 FEC lines

Half a billion dollars on 7,096 receipts

$514,142,346 divided by 7,096 is about $72,450 per itemized line. A mean that large is a warning against reading 22219 as a typical Arlington household. Joint fundraising committees, PAC accounts, and other high-dollar filers that list a 22219 mail ZIP can dominate the arithmetic. FEC.gov stores the ZIP that was filed. It does not flag which lines are households.

Seven thousand ninety-six contributions is a thin count next to D.C. ZIPs that post similar dollars on 100,000-plus lines. 22219 belongs with other concentration ZIPs: high dollars, relatively few itemizations. Quote both $514,142,346 and 7,096. Dropping either number hides the filing shape.

This page does not assign a party or a motive to the total. Recipient committees are a different LobbyVault view. 22219 is a contributor-ZIP key on Schedule A.

Arlington mail codes and FEC addressing

ZIP 22219 is an Arlington, Virginia, postal code. FEC contributor ZIPs are not a census of Arlington residents. A committee headquartered in a Crystal City or Pentagon City building can post 22219 on itemizations that have nothing to do with a neighbor’s checkbook. $514,142,346 follows the form field.

The 7,096-line count is not a unique-donor count. This packet has no donor headcount. Repeat itemizations and reallocations can add lines without adding people.

Limits of the $514,142,346 roll-up

Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Virginia state-office filings are omitted. Independent expenditures from another ZIP are omitted. Cite $514,142,346 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 22219, sourced from FEC.gov.

Because the mean line is large, a single amended joint-fundraising schedule can move a visible share of $514,142,346. Use the live ZIP 22219 FEC page after restatements.

Refunds and redesignations can lower a ZIP after a spike. If $514,142,346 later falls, that is consistent with FEC accounting, not a data outage. Watch the ZIP 22219 hub rather than caching this guide’s printed total. 7,096 can fall with it when lines are deleted or recoded on amendment.

22219 versus high-volume ZIPs

The all-ZIP directory will place 22219 near other high-dollar codes. Some of those codes have 100,000-plus lines. 22219 has 7,096. That is a filing-pattern contrast, not a ranking of civic virtue. FEC.gov does not score neighborhoods.

Sorting the all-ZIP directory by $514,142,346 puts 22219 among other high-dollar codes. Sorting by 7,096 may move it. Publish which sort you used. A concentration ZIP will change neighbors when the sort key changes. That is expected. It is not a ranking error.

Where to read the underlying rows

The ZIP 22219 FEC page is the live table for $514,142,346 and 7,096. The all-ZIP directory ranks other five-digit codes on the same series. The donor directory opens name-level itemizations. If a later FEC extract disagrees with these printed figures, the filing on FEC.gov controls.

Internal links on this page go only to the ZIP 22219 hub, the all-ZIP directory, and the donor directory. Those are the packet’s hrefs. Do not treat this guide as a sitemap of every committee that received money from Arlington, Virginia. Recipient pages are a click away from named itemizations, not from this roll-up.

Keeping $514,142,346 attached to ZIP 22219

Every dollar figure on this guide is the same $514,142,346 from the packet. Every line count is the same 7,096. Derived means of about $72,450 are arithmetic from those two facts. No third FEC series is mixed in. State campaigns, unitemized gifts, and independent expenditures from other ZIPs stay out.

Arlington, Virginia is orientation for readers who know the mail code. It is not an extra fact from FEC.gov. The Commission’s field is 22219. LobbyVault indexes that field. If a later extract reprints $514,142,346 with a different 7,096, both printed numbers here are stale. Check the live hub.

LobbyVault’s job on ZIP 22219 is narrow: index $514,142,346 and 7,096 from FEC.gov and explain what those two numbers are not. They are not a unique-donor census of Arlington. They are not a party split. They are not an independent-expenditure total. They are not a state-campaign total. They are itemized federal receipts tagged to five digits. A mean of about $72,450 is arithmetic, not a typical gift. Joint fundraising and PAC addresses can be inside $514,142,346. Researchers who need committees follow itemizations on the ZIP 22219 hub. Researchers who need names use the donor directory. Researchers who need a later extract should ignore this paragraph and reload the hub.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 22219?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 22219 total $514,142,346 across 7,096 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 Arlington, Virginia. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $514,142,346 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 22219?

LobbyVault counts 7,096 itemized contributions for ZIP 22219. 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 7,096 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $514,142,346.

Does ZIP 22219 include only residents of Arlington, Virginia?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in Arlington, Virginia can be part of $514,142,346 when 22219 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 7,096-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 22219 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $514,142,346 and 7,096 lines for ZIP 22219. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from Arlington, Virginia are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $72,450 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
