ZIP 30342: $18.1 million across 45,162 FEC lines

A border ZIP, not an Atlanta citywide total

$18,147,179 divided by 45,162 is about $402 per itemized line. 30342 sits on the line between Atlanta’s Buckhead and Sandy Springs. That municipal split does not appear in the FEC ZIP field. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count or a city-limit split.

Forty-five thousand one hundred sixty-two contributions is a substantial list. Repeat givers, household pairs, medical-office addresses, and any committee that files 30342 all add rows. Do not treat 45,162 as a census of Buckhead.

LobbyVault does not interpret $18,147,179 as an Atlanta political identity. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 30342.

Chastain Park addresses and Sandy Springs addresses can both file 30342. $18,147,179 does not say which side of the city limit produced a row. Keep 45,162 as a contribution-line total. This packet has no unique-donor count. The $402 mean is a ratio. Recheck the ZIP 30342 FEC page after quarterly filings. Nearby Buckhead keys sit in the all-ZIP directory with their own totals. Named receipts show committees. FEC.gov remains the original.

Chastain-adjacent mail on Schedule A

30342 covers Chastain Park, parts of Buckhead, and a slice of Sandy Springs. Households, clinics, and committees share the same five-digit key when that is what was filed. $18,147,179 follows the form. It is not a resident-only book.

The 45,162-line count can include memo entries and redesignations. Open the ZIP 30342 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not guess which rows are households.

What $18,147,179 never includes

Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Georgia state-office campaigns are omitted. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention an Atlanta race. Cite $18,147,179 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 30342, from FEC.gov.

A restated joint-fundraising transfer can move the dollar headline more than hundreds of small lines. Recheck the live hub after quarterly filings. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

30342’s city-limit split matters for local government and does not matter to the FEC ZIP field. $18,147,179 includes whatever address filed 30342, Atlanta side or Sandy Springs side. Keep 45,162 as a contribution-line total. This packet has no unique-donor count and no municipal flag.

Do not annualize $18,147,179. The packet does not label a single cycle. Recheck the ZIP 30342 FEC page after quarterly filings. Nearby Buckhead keys have their own totals in the all-ZIP directory. Named receipts show which committees appear. FEC.gov controls if a later extract disagrees.

30342 beside other Buckhead codes

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same series. Nearby 30305, 30327, and 30328 often show different means. Compare 45,162 against those peers rather than against an Ann Arbor ZIP with 106,000 lines. Filing shape is local to how addresses were entered.

Stacking Buckhead ZIPs is a common recode. This page does not perform it. $18,147,179 is the 30342 key only. If you build a metro total, list every ZIP you included.

Where the snapshot lives

The ZIP 30342 FEC page holds $18,147,179 and 45,162 as currently indexed. The all-ZIP directory places the code among others. The donor directory lists names on itemized receipts. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls.

Filtering the donor directory to 30342 should reconcile to the ZIP hub, not to a homemade $402 average. When a name search and 45,162 disagree, the ZIP roll-up is the geographic total. No income map is attached to this figure.

Buckhead–Sandy Springs without a municipal flag

30342 posts $18,147,179 across 45,162 contributions, about $402 per line. The key straddles Atlanta and Sandy Springs. The FEC field does not store a city-limit flag. Treating $18,147,179 as a City of Atlanta total is a category error. This packet has no unique-donor count.

30305, 30327, and 30328 are nearby Buckhead-area keys. Stacking them with 30342 produces a homemade metro figure. If you need that figure, list every ZIP. Keep 45,162 as the 30342 line count. The all-ZIP directory is the inventory.

Georgia state filings sit outside $18,147,179. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside. Recheck the ZIP 30342 FEC page after quarterly filings. Named receipts show which committees appear. The donor directory is not a second copy of $18,147,179. FEC.gov controls if a later extract disagrees.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 30342?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 30342 total $18,147,179 across 45,162 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Buckhead or Sandy Springs residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $402 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 30342?

LobbyVault counts 45,162 itemized contributions for ZIP 30342. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. 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 on the same extract is $18,147,179.

Is ZIP 30342 only inside the City of Atlanta?

The FEC field is the five-digit contributor ZIP, not a city-limit flag. 30342 covers addresses on both sides of the Atlanta–Sandy Springs line. Committees and office addresses that file 30342 can be part of $18,147,179. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a municipal book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 30342 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $18,147,179 and 45,162 lines for ZIP 30342. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Georgia state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
