Federal contributions from ZIP 35213

The $15,369,843 Mountain Brook roll-up

FEC.gov itemizations tagged 35213 add to $15,369,843. The matching line count is 31,804. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $483 per itemization. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median, not a typical Mountain Brook household gift, and not evidence that one committee dominates the ZIP. Over-the-mountain ZIPs often mix household itemizations with professional-office mail.

Thirty-one thousand eight hundred four rows sits in the middle of the $16 million ZIP band: neither the thinnest file nor the longest. A list of 31,804 rows can still mix large transfers with small itemized gifts. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving, and a mean near $483 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 $15,369,843. Keep 35213 as a geographic key on the contributor record. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a over-the-mountain Birmingham political score. Readers who want named payees should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the mean.

Over-the-mountain addresses on federal receipts

35213 covers the Mountain Brook ZIP over the mountain from downtown Birmingham. A contributor who lists a Mountain Brook address, or a committee that files 35213, adds to $15,369,843 when that ZIP is on the itemization. The accurate description is tagged federal receipts, not “what Mountain Brook residents gave.”

The packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 31,804 as a line count. Repeat gifts add rows. Memo entries add rows. This guide does not convert lines into people. Alabama state filings never enter the federal ZIP total.

What the Birmingham-area ZIP omits

Unitemized federal gifts are out. Alabama Secretary of State elections filings are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $15,369,843 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 35213.

Amendments can still move a over-the-mountain Birmingham ZIP. Recheck the ZIP 35213 FEC page after a restatement. An older clip with a different total is not a contradiction until extract dates match. Do not add Mountain Brook to downtown Birmingham codes and call the sum a metro total.

35213 next to other Jefferson County codes

The all-ZIP directory uses the same FEC series. Other Jefferson County 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 over-the-mountain Birmingham.

Do not add 35213 to 35223 or 35205 and call the sum a metro total. Each code is a separate contributor-ZIP roll-up. This page’s facts are $15,369,843 and 31,804 contributions.

Reading 35213 as a five-digit key

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 35213?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 35213 total $15,369,843 across 31,804 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 Mountain Brook residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 35213?

LobbyVault counts 31,804 itemized contributions for ZIP 35213. 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 $15,369,843.

Does ZIP 35213 include only Mountain Brook residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in Mountain Brook can be part of $15,369,843 when 35213 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 31,804-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 35213 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $15,369,843 and 31,804 lines for ZIP 35213. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Alabama Secretary of State elections filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
