ZIP 77005: $43.8 million on 106,538 FEC receipts

One hundred six thousand receipts, a $412 mean

Divide $43,843,397 by 106,538 and the mean line is about $412. That average is a ratio. It is not a typical gift and it is not a median. A six-figure itemization list can mix ordinary individual rows with committee rows on the same five digits. FEC Schedule A stores whatever ZIP the filer put on the receipt. LobbyVault sums those rows.

One hundred six thousand five hundred thirty-eight itemized lines is enough volume that no single restatement is guaranteed to dominate the mean, and still small enough that large committee receipts can pull $43,843,397. The table can support that scale check. It cannot support a story about who lives in 77005 or why they gave.

A mean near $412 on 106,538 lines is a mid-band ratio on a volume ZIP. It does not prove a typical gift. FEC.gov did not publish a median for 77005. Keep $43,843,397 and 106,538 together so a reader can redo the division.

How FEC addressing works on 77005

Individual contribution files include a ZIP field taken from the contributor record. Committees and joint fundraising committees often use a business ZIP. When those entities appear as contributors or as the address on a transferred receipt, their ZIP is 77005 if that is what was filed. Treating $43,843,397 as what residents donated overstates a neighborhood and understates how FEC addressing works.

Unitemized gifts below the federal itemization threshold never enter this total. Texas state filings never enter it. Independent expenditures paid by a committee with a different ZIP never enter it. The $43,843,397 figure is a ZIP roll-up of itemized federal receipts, sourced from FEC.gov.

On a ZIP with 106,538 lines, the temptation is to treat the count as a population. It is not. Repeat itemizations, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows. $43,843,397 remains the matching dollar total. Cite the pair, not a headcount the packet never published.

Reading 106,538 lines without a person count

Each of the 106,538 rows is a disclosed itemization, not a unique person. Repeat contributors, redesignations, and memo entries can add lines. LobbyVault’s packet for this ZIP does not publish a unique-donor count, so this guide does not invent one. If you need names, open the ZIP 77005 FEC page and follow receipts to committees.

Amendments still matter on a volume ZIP. One restated joint-fundraising schedule can move millions inside $43,843,397. The live hub is the place to check after an FEC amendment. This prose is a snapshot of the aggregate, not a live ticker.

Itemized-only scope still needs repeating on a six-figure line list. $43,843,397 never includes unitemized federal gifts and never includes Texas state-office money. A newspaper that adds those systems to $43,843,397 has left FEC.gov. This page stays on itemized receipts tagged 77005.

77005 beside other ZIP totals

The all-ZIP directory ranks contributor ZIPs by the same FEC series. 77005’s combination of $43,843,397 and 106,538 lines is a mid-mean volume pattern. Neighboring 770xx codes in that directory may show fewer receipts and a higher mean, or more receipts and a lower mean. Use the directory to compare, and keep the comparison inside itemized federal receipts.

FEC.gov does not publish a mean table. A mean of about $412 is arithmetic from $43,843,397 and 106,538 so a reader can redo the division. Ranking by mean is a derived view, not a Commission ranking.

Where the original filings live

LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov bulk data. The ZIP 77005 page is the table behind these figures. The donor directory is a name-level view of itemized contributors across ZIPs, not a substitute for the 77005 roll-up. If a later extract disagrees with $43,843,397 or 106,538, the FEC filing controls.

Memo entries and redesignations can sit inside 106,538. They are still itemizations. Deleting them by hand would create a homemade total that is no longer $43,843,397. Leave the count intact unless you document a filter.

How to cite 77005 without inflating a neighborhood

The accurate sentence is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 77005 total $43,843,397 across 106,538 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Shorthand that converts 106,538 into people is not supported. The packet has no unique-donor count.

Use the all-ZIP directory only to compare other codes on the same series. Use the donor directory for names. If the live hub reprints a different $43,843,397 or 106,538, the newer FEC extract wins and this snapshot is stale.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 77005?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 77005 total $43,843,397 across 106,538 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $412 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 77005?

LobbyVault counts 106,538 itemized contributions for ZIP 77005. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries 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 $43,843,397.

Does $43.8 million mean people who live in 77005 gave that much?

The ZIP is the five-digit code on the FEC itemization. Joint fundraising and PAC addresses can appear in the same $43,843,397 total. 106,538 is a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Treating $43,843,397 as resident-only giving overstates a neighborhood and understates how FEC addressing works. Open the ZIP 77005 hub for named receipts.
