Federal contributions from ZIP 35223

Thirty-three thousand Mountain Brook lines

$21,711,877 divided by 33,308 is about $652 per itemized line. Birmingham-area suburban mail shares those five digits on Schedule A. That $652 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical Mountain Brook household.

Thirty-three thousand three hundred eight itemizations is a long receipt list. Repeat gifts, workplace itemizations, and bundled events can all add rows. 33,308 is not a headcount of people in Mountain Brook or overlapping Birmingham fringe.

No party share is attached to $21,711,877. 35223 is a geographic key on the contributor record. Cite 33,308 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted.
