Federal contributions from ZIP 30325

Seven hundred twenty-seven lines, a $30,854 mean

Seven hundred twenty-seven itemized receipts add to $22,431,090. The mean is about $30,854 per line ($22,431,090 / 727). That is not an intown volume file like 30307. It is a concentration file: a three-digit line count carrying an eight-figure dollar total. A mean in the five figures usually means large committee transfers using a box as the reporting address, not a typical household check.

USPS assigns 30325 to PO Boxes. Street addresses in Inman Park or Vinings use other codes. $22,431,090 is therefore not “a neighborhood gave $22 million.” It is the sum of federal receipts tagged 30325. Sort the ZIP 30325 FEC page by amount. The largest rows will explain most of the total.

This packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 727 as lines on committee reports. Do not convert 727 into an Atlanta population story. PO Box files belong in a different reading pile from street-delivery neighborhoods. $22,431,090 across 727 receipts is the 30325 tag. Start at the largest rows. A five-figure mean is the warning, not a typical gift. Intown 30307 and Cobb 30339 are street-delivery objects with tens of thousands of lines. Keep 30325 separate on the all-ZIP index.

Why a PO Box ZIP can post $22 million

FEC itemizations record the contributor ZIP as filed. A committee treasurer’s box can use 30325. The five-digit field does not prove a street address in Atlanta. Open the hub table and read the names on the large rows before quoting the ZIP as local giving.

Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission filings for state office sit outside $22,431,090. Mixing state and FEC money invents an Atlanta figure this packet does not contain. Occupation strings are on individual receipts; this rollup does not tally them. A PO Box ZIP should be read from the largest rows downward. Seven hundred twenty-seven receipts cannot portray a neighborhood. $22,431,090 is a tagged committee-address sum until the hub table shows otherwise. Open the ZIP 30325 FEC page and sort by amount. The top rows will dominate the total. Street-delivery intown codes such as 30307 have tens of thousands of lines. That contrast is the reading instruction. Do not add 30325 to those street ZIPs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index as different objects.

What 30325 is not

The aggregate is not a City of Atlanta campaign report, not an intown neighborhood ledger, and not a party score. FEC schedules do not score ZIP codes by ideology. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $22,431,090. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Georgia race.

Do not stack 30325 with 30307 or 30339. Those street-delivery codes have their own packets and their own line counts. Adding them invents a metro sum this packet does not contain.

How to read a five-figure mean

Compare 30325 with volume ZIPs that have similar dollars and tens of thousands of lines. Same-order totals with different line counts are different objects. $22,431,090 on 727 receipts is a concentrated file. Confirm the largest rows before citing the ZIP in a neighborhood story.

Cycle windows matter even when this packet does not print a cycle year. Recheck the live ZIP 30325 FEC page after large filings. If a later extract disagrees with $22,431,090 or 727, the newer FEC.gov file wins.

A mean near $30,854 will move if the line count changes. Recheck both $22,431,090 and 727 on the live extract after large filings. Do not treat the mean as a typical Atlanta gift.
