Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 72221

A short Arkansas line list with eight-figure dollars

Two thousand twelve itemized receipts add to $41,856,144. The mean is about $20,803 per line ($41,856,144 / 2,012). That is committee-scale arithmetic. A residential ZIP with tens of thousands of lines and a few-hundred-dollar mean is a different filing shape. Ranking 72221 against that shape on dollars alone will overstate household giving in Little Rock.

Box ZIPs are where committees print an address. $41,856,144 on 2,012 receipts fits that pattern until the table proves a broader mix. Sort the ZIP 72221 FEC page by amount. Two thousand rows is short enough that the largest payers are easy to name.

Arkansas geography is orientation. It is not an FEC finding about state politics. The Commission stores a ZIP string. $41,856,144 and 2,012 receipts are the facts attached to that string.

72221 is not Little Rock as a whole

Street-delivery Little Rock codes have their own hubs. Adding 72221 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table. A committee that lists a 72221 box adds only to this total when that ZIP is filed. Keep 72221 as one mailing code.

Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 2,012 as contribution lines. One committee can generate transfers that dwarf personal itemizations on a list this short.

What $41,856,144 omits

Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Arkansas state-office campaigns are omitted. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention an Arkansas race. Cite $41,856,144 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 72221, sourced from FEC.gov.

A restated transfer can move a headline on a 2,012-line ZIP more than it would on a 100,000-line ZIP. Recheck the live ZIP 72221 FEC page after large filings. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Reading a $20,803 mean

A mean near $20,803 is a prompt to open the payer column, not a typical household gift. If the top rows are committee names, describe 72221 as a filing address. If personal names dominate after all, the table will show that; the ZIP sum will not.

Do not convert 2,012 into a headcount. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new people. The donor directory remains the name-level path. This packet still has no unique-donor count.

Source tables for the 72221 hub

The ZIP 72221 FEC page holds $41,856,144 and 2,012 as currently indexed. The all-ZIP directory ranks other codes. The donor directory lists names on itemized rows. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls. Quote both printed facts together. A dollar total without a line count hides that Little Rock 72221 is a concentration ZIP. A line count without $41,856,144 hides scale. Skip stacking neighboring Arkansas ZIPs into a metro total unless you document the recode.

Little Rock 72221 as a box, not a street grid

Street-delivery Little Rock codes describe neighborhoods. 72221 describes a box facility. $41,856,144 on 2,012 lines should be quoted with that distinction in the same sentence. A metro-Arkansas chart that drops 72221 into a residential rank is mixing filing shapes. The all-ZIP index lists both shapes. It does not label them.

Two thousand twelve rows are short enough that a restated transfer moves the headline. Recheck the ZIP 72221 FEC page after large filings. The $20,803 mean is a prompt to read payer names, not a typical Pulaski County gift. This packet has no unique-donor count to convert 2,012 into people.

Arkansas state filings sit outside $41,856,144. Do not add them. Use the donor directory for names. Rank other codes on the all-ZIP index using both dollars and line count. If a later FEC extract disagrees with $41,856,144 or 2,012, the newer extract wins. Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.
