Federal contributions from ZIP 38120

The $15,187,833 east Memphis roll-up

FEC.gov itemizations tagged 38120 add to $15,187,833. The matching line count is 25,536. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $595 per itemization. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median, not a typical east Memphis household gift, and not evidence that one committee dominates the ZIP. East Memphis ZIPs often mix household itemizations with medical-center and professional-office mail.

Twenty-five thousand five hundred thirty-six rows sits between thin high-mean ZIPs and high-volume small-mean files. A list of 25,536 rows can still mix large transfers with small itemized gifts. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving, and a mean near $595 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 $15,187,833. Keep 38120 as a geographic key on the contributor record. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a east Shelby County political score. Readers who want named payees should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the mean.

East Shelby County mail versus household giving

38120 covers an east Memphis slice tagged 38120. A contributor who lists a east Memphis address, or a committee that files 38120, adds to $15,187,833 when that ZIP is on the itemization. The accurate description is tagged federal receipts, not “what east Memphis residents gave.”

The packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 25,536 as a line count. Repeat gifts add rows. Memo entries add rows. This guide does not convert lines into people. Tennessee state filings never enter the federal ZIP total.

What the Memphis ZIP omits

Unitemized federal gifts are out. Tennessee Registry of Election Finance filings are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $15,187,833 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 38120.

Amendments can still move a east Shelby County ZIP. Recheck the ZIP 38120 FEC page after a restatement. An older clip with a different total is not a contradiction until extract dates match. Do not add 38120 to downtown Memphis codes and call the sum a metro total.

38120 next to other Shelby County codes

The all-ZIP directory uses the same FEC series. Other Shelby 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 east Shelby County.

Do not add 38120 to 38117 or 38119 and call the sum a metro total. Each code is a separate contributor-ZIP roll-up. This page’s facts are $15,187,833 and 25,536 contributions.
