Federal contributions from ZIP 33308

44,227 lines behind $16,233,880

ZIP 33308 reaches $16,233,880 with 44,227 itemized contributions. That is a thicker file than several peer codes near $16 million that clear the same dollars with fewer than 20,000 rows. Dividing the two packet facts yields about $367 per line. The mean is a ratio. It is not a median gift and not a typical Fort Lauderdale household check.

Forty-four thousand two hundred twenty-seven itemizations can include repeat donors, memo entries, and small itemized gifts stacked beside larger transfers. High line count does not prove a small-dollar ZIP. Low mean does not prove the absence of large PAC traffic. This roll-up does not split those categories.

No party breakdown is published with $16,233,880. FEC.gov records the ZIP as filed. LobbyVault indexes that field; it does not score Galt Ocean Mile or northeast Fort Lauderdale as partisan.

Coastal mail is not a resident census

33308 sits on a stretch of coastal Broward County. A contributor who lists a Fort Lauderdale beach-adjacent address, a condo office, or a committee mailbox in 33308 adds to $16,233,880 when those five digits appear on Schedule A. The table is tagged federal receipts, not “what 33308 residents gave.”

The packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 44,227 as a line count. Repeat gifts add rows. Joint-fundraising memos can add rows. This guide does not collapse rows into people.

What stays outside $16,233,880

Unitemized federal contributions never enter the total. Florida state campaign filings never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter it. Cite $16,233,880 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 33308.

A later amendment can move a coastal ZIP. Recheck the ZIP 33308 FEC page after a restatement. Two clips with different dollars are not a contradiction until the extract dates match.

33308 next to other Florida codes

The all-ZIP directory ranks 33308 against other five-digit keys in the same FEC series. Neighboring Fort Lauderdale codes may show fewer lines or a higher mean. Those gaps describe filing shape, not which beach is more politically active. The Commission does not rank neighborhoods.

Do not add 33308 to 33305 or 33304 and call the sum a metro Fort Lauderdale total. Each code is a separate contributor-ZIP aggregate. This page’s facts remain $16,233,880 and 44,227 contributions.

If the hub disagrees with $16,233,880 or 44,227, the later FEC.gov extract controls. This guide snapshots the indexed pair. It does not freeze a coastal Broward total.

Reading 33308 as a five-digit key

Keep 33308 as five digits in every search. $16,233,880 across 44,227 contributions is the indexed pair. The ~$367 mean looks modest next to thinner $16 million ZIPs; it is still arithmetic, not a typical gift. Florida Division of Elections filings stay outside both numbers. Unitemized federal gifts stay outside both numbers. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP stay outside both numbers.

Open named receipts on the ZIP 33308 FEC page if you need committees rather than a ZIP total. Recheck after restatements. Do not treat 44,227 as unique people. Do not treat $16,233,880 as a neighborhood vote. Coastal Broward mail in 33308 includes condo addresses, office addresses, and committee addresses on the same five digits. LobbyVault does not split those categories in this aggregate.

Because 44,227 lines look like a small-dollar story, readers skip the dollar total. $16,233,880 is still a $16 million ZIP. High volume and a ~$367 mean can sit beside large transfers in the same file. Open the donor directory for names on itemized rows. Open the all-ZIP directory to place 33308 next to other Fort Lauderdale codes without adding their dollars together. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault. LobbyVault indexes the contributor ZIP; it does not rewrite the address into a household survey.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 33308?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 33308 total $16,233,880 across 44,227 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a Schedule A ZIP roll-up, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Fort Lauderdale residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 33308?

LobbyVault counts 44,227 itemized contributions for ZIP 33308. 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 $16,233,880.

Does ZIP 33308 include only Fort Lauderdale residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office, condo, and committee addresses in 33308 can be part of $16,233,880 when that code is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 44,227-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 33308 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $16,233,880 and 44,227 lines for ZIP 33308. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Florida state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
