Federal contributions from ZIP 29401

The $16,047,925 Charleston ZIP roll-up

FEC.gov itemizations tagged 29401 add to $16,047,925. The matching line count is 29,191. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $550 per itemization. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median, not a typical historic Charleston household gift, and not evidence that one committee dominates the ZIP. Historic-core ZIPs often mix residential rows with professional-office mail on the same five digits.

Twenty-nine thousand one hundred ninety-one rows sits between thin $16 million files and high-volume ZIPs that need 60,000-plus lines. A list of 29,191 rows can still mix large transfers with small itemized gifts. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving, and a mean near $550 does not prove a single payer. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share the same five digits.

No party share is attached to $16,047,925. Keep 29401 as a geographic key on the contributor record. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a peninsula Charleston political score. Readers who want named payees should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the mean.

Peninsula addresses on federal receipts

29401 covers the historic peninsula, including residential blocks and professional-office mail. A contributor who lists a historic Charleston address, or a committee that files 29401, adds to $16,047,925 when that ZIP is on the itemization. The accurate description is tagged federal receipts, not “what historic Charleston residents gave.”

The packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 29,191 as a line count. Repeat gifts add rows. Memo entries add rows. This guide does not convert lines into people. South Carolina state filings never enter the federal ZIP total.

What stays outside the Charleston total

Unitemized federal gifts are out. South Carolina State Ethics Commission filings are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $16,047,925 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 29401.

Amendments can still move a peninsula Charleston ZIP. Recheck the ZIP 29401 FEC page after a restatement. An older clip with a different total is not a contradiction until extract dates match. Tourism-district mailboxes can appear beside household itemizations in the same extract.

29401 next to other Lowcountry codes

The all-ZIP directory uses the same FEC series. Other Charleston codes may show more lines or a different mean. Those contrasts describe filing shape, not which neighborhood is more partisan. FEC.gov does not score peninsula Charleston.

Do not add 29401 to 29403 or 29412 and call the sum a metro total. Each code is a separate contributor-ZIP roll-up. This page’s facts are $16,047,925 and 29,191 contributions.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 29401?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 29401 total $16,047,925 across 29,191 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 historic Charleston residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 29401?

LobbyVault counts 29,191 itemized contributions for ZIP 29401. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $16,047,925.

Does ZIP 29401 include only Charleston residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in historic Charleston can be part of $16,047,925 when 29401 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 29,191-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 29401 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $16,047,925 and 29,191 lines for ZIP 29401. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. South Carolina State Ethics Commission filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
