Federal contributions from ZIP 30306: $14.9M

Intown Atlanta, one ZIP on the tape

$14,857,978 divided by 49,147 is about $302 per itemized line. Atlanta uses a dense grid of 303xx codes. 30306 is one of them, not Midtown 30308, not 30309, and not a citywide total. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count or a Fulton/DeKalb split.

Forty-nine thousand one hundred forty-seven contributions is a long list. Repeat gifts and any committee that prints 30306 add rows. Do not treat 49,147 as a census of Virginia-Highland. LobbyVault does not assign $14,857,978 a partisan meaning. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 30306.

County lines are not the FEC field

Parts of this mail key sit near the Fulton–DeKalb line. FEC itemizations store the ZIP the filer typed, not a county geocode. $14,857,978 follows the form. Open the ZIP 30306 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not split the 49,147 rows by county.

A North Highland shop address and a residential street can share 30306. That is how the contributor ZIP works. It is not a resident-only book.

What stays outside $14,857,978

Unitemized federal gifts never enter. Georgia state-office campaigns never enter. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter, even if they mention an Atlanta or 5th District race. Cite $14,857,978 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 30306.

The mean of about $302 is arithmetic, not a median. Amendments can restate large transfers without touching most of the 49,147 small lines. Recheck the live hub after quarterly filings. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

30306 beside 30307, 30308, and 30309

Inman Park/Candler Park, Midtown, and adjoining intown codes are separate FEC keys. Adding them to 30306 and calling the sum an Atlanta FEC total is a recode you must document. This page reports $14,857,978 for 30306 only. Compare 49,147 against those peers on the all-ZIP directory.

Citing 30306 without inventing a fourth fact

A usable public-record sentence names the exact key: contributor ZIP 30306 (Virginia-Highland / intown Atlanta) in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sums to $14,857,978 on 49,147 itemized lines. The compact headline $14.9M is that same dollar total rounded to one decimal million. It is not a second extract and not a forecast. Fulton and DeKalb geography explains where the mail code sits. It does not add a donor headcount. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so do not back into one from 49,147.

Unitemized federal receipts never carry a published ZIP in this roll-up, so they never enter $14,857,978. Georgia state-office campaigns are a different filing system. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are not contributions and are not inside $14,857,978. The arithmetic mean of about $302 is $14,857,978 divided by 49,147. Means are not medians. Compare 30306 to 30307, 30308, and 30309 on the all-ZIP directory if you need a peer set. Do not add those keys to $14,857,978 unless you are building a documented cluster with named sources.

LobbyVault does not infer motive from a ZIP column. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. Researchers who need employer text, recipient committees, or cycle cuts should leave this guide and open the ZIP 30306 FEC page, where $14,857,978 and 49,147 are the live indexed totals.

Keep the unit of analysis explicit. 30306 is a five-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations covering Virginia-Highland / intown Atlanta. $14,857,978 is the itemized-dollar total. 49,147 is the itemized-line total. $14.9M is $14,857,978 rounded. About $302 is those dollars divided by those lines. Fulton and DeKalb is map context. 30307, 30308, and 30309 are other keys. Georgia 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 30306 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.
