ZIP 55402: $18.0 million across 33,397 FEC lines

A downtown loop ZIP is usually an office key

$18,025,292 divided by 33,397 is about $540 per itemized line. 55402 is the Nicollet Mall–skyway grid more than a residential neighborhood. That does not make every row a PAC. It does make workplace addresses more likely than in a suburban household ZIP. The packet still has only two facts: a dollar total and a contribution count. It has no unique-donor count.

Thirty-three thousand three hundred ninety-seven contributions is a working list. Office towers, household filers who list a downtown box, and any committee that files 55402 all add rows. Do not treat 33,397 as a census of downtown residents.

LobbyVault does not attach a Twin Cities political identity to $18,025,292. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 55402.

Loop geography makes 55402 look like a PAC ZIP on a map. The packet still only has $18,025,292 and 33,397 contributions. Workplace rows are likely; they are not labeled. Keep 33,397 as a line count. This packet has no unique-donor count. The $540 mean is arithmetic. Recheck the ZIP 55402 FEC page after quarterly filings. North Loop is a different key. FEC.gov controls if a later extract disagrees.

Skyway addresses on Schedule A

55402 covers the Minneapolis central business district. A filer who lists a workplace, a filer who lists a downtown condo, and a joint fundraising committee that uses a 55402 suite all land in the same five-digit bucket. $18,025,292 is that bucket. It is not a resident-only book.

Named receipts on the ZIP 55402 FEC page are the way to see which committees appear. This guide will not invent a split inside 33,397 lines.

What $18,025,292 never captures

Unitemized federal gifts never enter. Minnesota state-office campaigns never enter. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter. Cite $18,025,292 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 55402.

A restated downtown-address 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.

Downtown Minneapolis 55402 is a skyway ZIP. People who work in the loop and list the office, people who live in a downtown condo, and committees that use a 55402 suite all land in $18,025,292. Keep 33,397 as a line count. This packet has no unique-donor count. The $540 mean is arithmetic.

Do not treat 55402 as Minneapolis. Recheck the ZIP 55402 FEC page after quarterly filings. Minnesota local campaigns never enter this federal total. The all-ZIP directory is the inventory for adjoining loop keys. Named receipts show which committees appear. FEC.gov controls if a later extract disagrees.

55402 beside 55401 and 55403

North Loop and Loring Park are different mail keys. Adding them to 55402 and calling the sum a Minneapolis FEC total is a recode you must document. This page reports $18,025,292 for 55402 only.

The all-ZIP directory is the inventory for that comparison. Compare 33,397 against those peers rather than against a Chapel Hill ZIP with 72,000 lines. Filing shape is local to how addresses were entered.

Live tables for the loop

The ZIP 55402 FEC page holds $18,025,292 and 33,397 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 55402 should reconcile to the ZIP hub, not to a homemade $540 average. When a name search and 33,397 disagree, the ZIP roll-up is the geographic total.

Nicollet Mall mail without a Twin Cities sum

55402 posts $18,025,292 across 33,397 contributions, about $540 per line. The Minneapolis loop is mostly an office key. That does not make every row a committee. It does make workplace addresses more likely than in a suburban household ZIP. This packet has no unique-donor count and no entity-type split.

55401 and 55403 are adjoining downtown keys. Adding them to 55402 manufactures a city figure. If you need that figure, list every ZIP. Keep 33,397 as the 55402 line count. The all-ZIP directory is the inventory.

Minnesota state filings sit outside $18,025,292. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside. Recheck the ZIP 55402 FEC page after quarterly filings. Named receipts show which committees appear. The donor directory is not a second copy of $18,025,292. FEC.gov controls if a later extract disagrees.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 55402?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 55402 total $18,025,292 across 33,397 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 downtown Minneapolis residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $540 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 55402?

LobbyVault counts 33,397 itemized contributions for ZIP 55402. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Workplace-address batches and repeat gifts 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 $18,025,292.

Does ZIP 55402 count only people who live downtown?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office towers and committees that file 55402 can be part of $18,025,292 when that is what was entered. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 55402 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $18,025,292 and 33,397 lines for ZIP 55402. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Minnesota state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
