Federal contributions from ZIP 22304

Seventy-four thousand Alexandria lines

$20,750,676 divided by 74,417 is about $279 per itemized line. West Alexandria mail shares those five digits on Schedule A. That $279 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical Northern Virginia household.

Seventy-four thousand four hundred seventeen itemizations is a high-volume receipt list. Repeat gifts, small-dollar itemizations that still clear the FEC threshold, workplace itemizations, and bundled events can all add rows. 74,417 is not a headcount of people west of Old Town.

A modest mean with a long line count often means many smaller rows plus some larger ones that do not dominate the average. The packet does not publish size bands. Sort the ZIP 22304 FEC page by amount to inspect the mix inside $20,750,676.

West Alexandria ZIP, federal string

22304 covers west Alexandria. A contributor who lists a home, an apartment, an office, or a committee that files 22304 adds to $20,750,676 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving recodes the field.

Proximity to Washington, D.C. does not change the math. $20,750,676 and 74,417 are still a five-digit roll-up from FEC.gov. Recoding 22304 into a metro area is a different dataset.

Do not treat 74,417 as people

Searchers seeing 74,417 may read it as a headcount. It is not. It is the number of itemized contribution rows tagged 22304 in the LobbyVault aggregate. Repeat payers and memo lines inflate the count without adding unique donors. This packet has no unique-donor field.

Do not infer turnout or engagement from 74,417 or from the $279 mean. Itemizations are Schedule A rows labeled 22304. FEC.gov stored the ZIP string. LobbyVault summed it.

What $20,750,676 leaves out

Unitemized federal gifts are out. Virginia state filings that never reach the FEC are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $20,750,676 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 22304, from FEC.gov.

A high-volume Alexandria ZIP still moves when schedules are amended. Recheck the ZIP 22304 FEC page after a restatement. Compare extract dates before treating two published totals as a contradiction.

The accurate citation is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 22304 total $20,750,676 across 74,417 contributions, per FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $279 describes filing shape. Unique donors are not in the packet. Party is not in the packet. Do not add 22304 to 22301 or 22314 into an Alexandria total on this page.

How to quote a 74,417-line Alexandria ZIP

Cite 22304 as $20,750,676 across 74,417 contributions, per FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $279 is $20,750,676 ÷ 74,417. That arithmetic describes a high-volume, modest-mean west Alexandria ZIP. It does not describe 74,417 unique residents. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and small itemizations that still clear the federal threshold can all stretch the list.

Do not add 22304 to 22301, 22302, or 22314 into an Alexandria total on this page. Each key is a separate FEC string. Proximity to Washington, D.C. does not change the field rule. If the live ZIP 22304 FEC page reprints a different pair, the newer extract wins. Virginia state filings sit outside $20,750,676. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside it. Named receipts answer who is on the rows; this roll-up answers the ZIP, the dollars, and the 74,417-line count.

A researcher who only quotes $20,750,676 without 74,417 hides the $279 mean and the volume that produced it. Quote both. If a committee later amends the ZIP field on a large west Alexandria row, both figures move. Recheck the ZIP 22304 FEC page. This file is a snapshot, not an amendment log.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 22304?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 22304 total $20,750,676 across 74,417 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 Alexandria residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $279 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 22304?

LobbyVault counts 74,417 itemized contributions for ZIP 22304. That is a high line count for this dollar band. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $20,750,676.

Does ZIP 22304 include only Alexandria residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 22304 grid can be part of $20,750,676 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 74,417-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 22304 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $20,750,676 and 74,417 lines for ZIP 22304. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Virginia state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
