Federal contributions from ZIP 72201

9,424 lines carrying $61,123,794

$61,123,794 divided by 9,424 is about $6,486 per itemized line. That mean is several times the volume-ZIP means in this wave. It is still arithmetic, not a median, and not a typical Pulaski County household gift. The packet has no unique-donor field.

Nine thousand four hundred twenty-four itemizations cannot be read as a small-donor census. A shorter list at this dollar scale usually means large Schedule A rows share the ZIP. This aggregate does not name those rows. It reports the sum and the line count.

LobbyVault does not treat 72201 as a capital-city political score. Employer, occupation, and recipient committee are other views. This page stays on the two packet facts.

Downtown Little Rock as a filing address

72201 covers downtown Little Rock mail, including office and committee addresses that are not household street files. If 72201 is what the filer put on Schedule A, the row enters $61,123,794. The accurate label is tagged federal receipts, not “what Little Rock residents gave.”

The 9,424-line count still includes repeat itemizations and memo entries. A short list is not a unique-person count. This guide does not invent a headcount the packet omitted.

What stays outside $61,123,794

Unitemized federal gifts are outside $61,123,794. Arkansas state campaign reports are outside it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are outside it, even if the ad names a statewide candidate. Cite the figure only as the 72201 slice of FEC itemized receipts.

Concentration ZIPs move when a large schedule is amended. Recheck the ZIP 72201 FEC page after a restatement rather than freezing $61,123,794. Cycle windows are not printed on this packet; compare extract dates before treating two published totals as a conflict.

Why the line count is the tell

Dollar rank without 9,424 lines would make 72201 look like any other $61 million ZIP. The line count is the tell: this is not a high-volume residential stream. The all-ZIP directory lets you place 72201 next to codes with similar dollars and ten times the receipts.

Do not convert that contrast into a claim about voter intensity in Little Rock. FEC.gov does not measure intensity. It records itemized receipts tagged 72201.

Tables behind the snapshot

The ZIP 72201 FEC page holds the live aggregate. The all-ZIP directory ranks other codes. The donor directory lists names on itemized receipts. Every printed dollar traces to FEC.gov via LobbyVault: $61,123,794, 9,424 contributions, ZIP 72201.

If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. Open named rows when a $6,486 mean makes you want identities rather than the roll-up.

Little Rock’s $6,486 mean is a concentration tell

ZIP 72201 totals $61,123,794 across 9,424 itemized FEC contributions. Downtown Little Rock mail on a short list is the filing-shape story. The mean of about $6,486 does not identify a committee or a person. It does not prove every row is large. A few very large rows plus many smaller ones can produce the same mean. The packet does not publish a breakdown or a unique-donor count.

Office and committee addresses in 72201 are not a household street file. This guide uses that as orientation. 9,424 is still a contribution-line total; repeat itemizations and memo entries can add rows on a short list. Arkansas state campaign reports never enter $61,123,794. Unitemized federal gifts never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter it, even if the ad names a statewide candidate.

Concentration ZIPs move when one large schedule is amended. Recheck the ZIP 72201 FEC page rather than freezing $61,123,794. The all-ZIP directory is the right place to set 9,424 lines next to codes with similar dollars and ten times the receipts. That contrast is filing shape, not voter intensity in Pulaski County. FEC.gov does not measure intensity. Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Open named rows when a $6,486 mean makes you want identities rather than the roll-up.

Little Rock’s 9,424 lines against $61,123,794 are the concentration tell. The mean of about $6,486 is a ratio, not a named committee. Arkansas state filings stay outside the total. Unitemized federal gifts stay outside it. Open the ZIP 72201 FEC page to see which rows sit behind the sum. Open the donor directory for names. Open the all-ZIP directory to set 9,424 next to codes with similar dollars and ten times the receipts. Recheck after a restatement; concentration ZIPs move when one schedule is amended.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 72201?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 72201 total $61,123,794 across 9,424 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 Little Rock residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $6,486 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Why are there only 9,424 contributions for $61,123,794?

LobbyVault counts 9,424 itemized contributions for ZIP 72201. That short list against $61,123,794 produces a high mean. Large Schedule A rows can dominate a downtown concentration ZIP. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure or a committee-versus-individual split. Read 9,424 as a line count, not a population.

Does ZIP 72201 include only downtown Little Rock residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses filed as 72201 can be part of $61,123,794. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 9,424-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 72201 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $61,123,794 and 9,424 lines for ZIP 72201. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Arkansas state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
