Federal contributions from ZIP 74119

Ten thousand lines against $25,578,666

Ten thousand three hundred thirty-seven itemized receipts add to $25,578,666. The mean is about $2,474 per line ($25,578,666 / 10,337). That is a high mean for a downtown ZIP. It is the arithmetic you get when large committee transfers share a Tulsa core code with a shorter personal-itemization list. Comparing 74119 with a high-volume residential code without noting the 10,337-line gap will mislead a reader.

ZIP 74119 is used on downtown Tulsa mail, including office towers and committee letterhead. LobbyVault does not relabel those rows as non-residential; the ZIP field is whatever the filer reported. The $25,578,666 total therefore follows the form, not a residential occupancy file.

A shorter downtown list is still a public record. It is useful for seeing where committees file. It is a poor proxy for how downtown Tulsa votes. Keep those questions out of a ZIP rollup that only contains dollars and a receipt count.

Why a 10,337-line ZIP distorts neighborhood stories

If you treat $25,578,666 as what people in 74119 gave, you invent a neighborhood that the form field does not describe. Ten thousand three hundred thirty-seven rows is short enough that the largest lines are easy to inspect. Sort the ZIP 74119 FEC page by amount. A handful of payers can account for a large share of the total. That is a reading of the table, not a motive claim.

A mean near $2,474 is a prompt to read the payer column, not a typical household check. LobbyVault’s ZIP total follows the ZIP on each itemization it includes. It does not reconstruct the full path of every dollar.

What this packet will not tell you

There is no unique-donor count, no party split, and no industry rollup. Ten thousand three hundred thirty-seven receipts are contribution lines, not people. Occupations on individual rows are outside these facts. Do not build an industry story from a ZIP total that does not include employer aggregates.

74119 is not an Oklahoma Ethics Commission figure and not a Tulsa County total. It is federal itemizations only, from FEC.gov. Local and state filings use other databases. Mixing them with $25,578,666 would invent a combined number this packet does not contain.

Treat 74119 as a mixed downtown key

A mean near $2,474 is not a loft average. It is a prompt to read the payer column. If the top rows are committee names, describe 74119 as a filing address. If personal itemizations dominate after all, the table will show that; the ZIP sum will not.

Do not rank 74119 against a residential ZIP on dollars alone. Include the 10,337-receipt count in the comparison. The all-ZIP index shows both facts. The donor directory remains the name-level table. This packet still has no unique-donor count to convert 10,337 into people.

Where to continue from 74119

The ZIP 74119 FEC page holds the 10,337-row table behind $25,578,666. Rank other codes on the all-ZIP index, remembering that downtown codes and residential codes share a ranking but not a meaning. Use the donor directory for names. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls. Cite $25,578,666 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 74119.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $25,578,666. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter it. Recheck after a restatement. Quote $25,578,666 with 10,337 contributions. The mean of about $2,474 is $25,578,666 divided by 10,337.

Downtown Tulsa’s thinner receipt list

Ten thousand three hundred thirty-seven itemizations against $25,578,666 produce a mean of about $2,474. Rank 74119 against a residential ZIP on dollars alone and the comparison fails. Include the 10,337-receipt count. Sort the ZIP 74119 FEC page by amount. A handful of payers can account for a large share of the total.

Oklahoma Ethics Commission filings never enter $25,578,666. Unitemized federal gifts never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter it. The packet has no unique-donor field, so 10,337 cannot be restated as people. Occupations on individual rows are outside these facts.

Downtown codes and residential codes share a ranking on the all-ZIP directory but not a meaning. Do not treat $25,578,666 as a Tulsa neighborhood census. The donor directory remains the name-level table. Quote $25,578,666 with 10,337 contributions.

If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls. Recheck after a restatement. A mean near $2,474 is a prompt to read the payer column. Cite $25,578,666 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 74119. LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system.

Questions

What is the ZIP 74119 contribution total?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 74119 total $25,578,666 across 10,337 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 downtown Tulsa residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $2,474 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 74119?

LobbyVault counts 10,337 itemized contributions for ZIP 74119. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. Those rows are itemized Schedule A lines, not people. The matching dollar total is $25,578,666.

Does ZIP 74119 include only downtown Tulsa residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 74119 grid can be part of $25,578,666 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 10,337-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 74119 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $25,578,666 and 10,337 lines for ZIP 74119. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Oklahoma state filings are outside both figures. LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
