Federal contributions from ZIP 23229: $15.0M

West End mail, not a Richmond citywide total

$14,975,025 divided by 32,911 is about $455 per itemized line. Richmond and Henrico share many ZIPs. 23229 is one west-end key, not the independent city and not the whole county. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count or a metro roll-up.

Thirty-two thousand nine hundred eleven contributions is a working list. Repeat gifts and any committee that prints 23229 add rows. Do not treat 32,911 as a census of Henrico. LobbyVault does not treat $14,975,025 as a ranking of Richmond-area civic mood.

Contributor ZIP versus city limits

FEC itemizations store the ZIP the filer typed, not a geocode of city versus county. A Broad Street office and a Three Chopt household can share 23229. $14,975,025 follows the form. Open the ZIP 23229 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not split the 32,911 rows into city and county piles.

Independent city and county politics are Virginia facts. They are not packet facts. Keep 23229 isolated unless you document a cluster of neighboring Richmond ZIPs.

What stays outside $14,975,025

Unitemized federal gifts never enter. Virginia state-office campaigns never enter. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter, even if they mention a Richmond or 1st/7th District race. Cite $14,975,025 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 23229.

The mean of about $455 is arithmetic, not a median. Amendments can restate large transfers without touching most of the 32,911 small lines. Recheck the live hub after quarterly filings.

What a 23229 total is for, and what it is not for

$14,975,025 is for citing itemized federal receipts tagged 23229. 32,911 is for citing how many such lines the index holds. west-end Henrico is for telling a reader which mail key they opened. the Richmond metro is not a substitute geography for a homemade metro sum. $15.0M is a rounded form of $14,975,025. Use the exact figure in a table; use $15.0M 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 other 232xx codes into $14,975,025. Those are other keys.

About $455 per line is a derived ratio from the two harvested numbers. Treat it as a shape note: 23229 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. 23229 is a five-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations covering west-end Henrico. $14,975,025 is the itemized-dollar total. 32,911 is the itemized-line total. $15.0M is $14,975,025 rounded. About $455 is those dollars divided by those lines. the Richmond metro is map context. other 232xx codes 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 23229 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 23229 guide so the hub at /zip-codes/23229/ is not a table without sentences. The canonical path /guides/zip-23229-political-donations/ is the standalone URL. Both pages should show the same two facts: $14,975,025 and 32,911 contributions. Neither page invents a unique-donor count. Neither page converts $15.0M 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.
