ZIP 77027: $47.32 million on 56,290 FEC itemizations

A round $47.32 million on 56,290 lines

$47,320,000 divided by 56,290 is about $841 per itemized line. That mean sits in a mid-dollar band. It is not a median. FEC.gov did not publish a typical-gift figure for 77027. LobbyVault reports the two packet facts: the dollar sum and the contribution count. The even dollar total is what the aggregate stored; it is not a rounded estimate invented for this page.

Fifty-six thousand two hundred ninety itemizations is a mid-size list. Codes that post similar dollars on a few hundred lines are a different filing shape. Both shapes are legal FEC filings. Neither is a score of neighborhood virtue. The table answers how much itemized federal money was tagged 77027.

The even $47,320,000 figure is the aggregate as stored, not a rounded estimate invented for prose. Cite it with 56,290 so a reader can see filing shape. A mean of about $841 follows from division. It is not a median.

What the 77027 ZIP field stores

Schedule A stores a five-digit contributor ZIP. A committee, a joint fundraising committee, or an individual who lists 77027 will add to $47,320,000 when that is the ZIP on the receipt. FEC.gov does not mark which rows are homes. This aggregate therefore cannot be cited as resident-only giving in 77027.

The 56,290 figure counts itemized lines. Repeat contributors add lines. Redesignations and memo entries can add lines. This packet has no unique-donor count, so this guide does not invent a headcount of people behind 77027.

Researchers comparing 77027 to other Houston-area codes should keep both packet facts in the same sentence. $47,320,000 without 56,290 hides whether the total is a long list or a short list. 56,290 without $47,320,000 hides scale. FEC.gov published both. LobbyVault indexed both.

What $47,320,000 leaves out

Unitemized federal gifts below the itemization threshold never enter this total. Texas state campaign filings never enter it. Independent expenditures paid by a committee with a different ZIP never enter it, even if the advertisement mentions a Houston race. $47,320,000 is itemized federal receipts tagged 77027, sourced from FEC.gov.

Amended reports can still move a ZIP total. After a large restatement, use the live ZIP 77027 FEC page rather than treating $47,320,000 as a frozen figure. This prose is a snapshot of the aggregate indexed on LobbyVault.

Itemized-only scope still needs repeating. $47,320,000 never includes unitemized federal gifts and never includes Texas state-office money. A citation that adds those systems has left FEC.gov. This page stays on itemized receipts tagged 77027.

77027 among other ZIP totals

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same FEC series by dollars. Other 770xx codes will appear on the same screen with different line counts. A ZIP with more receipts and a lower mean is not more grassroots. Compare $47,320,000 and 56,290 against peers as filing shape, then open named receipts if you need committees.

Dollar rank and line-count rank can diverge. 56,290 receipts against $47,320,000 is the pairing that describes this code. FEC.gov does not score generosity.

Cycle coverage in the underlying bulk files can span more than one election. This guide does not invent a cycle list because the packet does not include one. Treat $47,320,000 as the ZIP roll-up on the extract LobbyVault indexed, then confirm the live hub if you need a dated window.

Source and follow-on tables

LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov bulk data. The ZIP 77027 FEC page is the live table behind $47,320,000 and 56,290. The all-ZIP directory ranks other five-digit codes. The donor directory lists names on itemized rows across ZIPs. If a later extract disagrees with the printed numbers, the Commission’s filing controls.

Title, H1, and table on the live hub should show the same $47,320,000 and 56,290 this guide cites. If they do not, the hub was rebuilt from a newer extract. Trust the hub over this paragraph.

How to cite 77027 without inflating a neighborhood

The accurate sentence is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 77027 total $47,320,000 across 56,290 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Office addresses can share the same five digits as homes. The packet does not split them.

Because unique donors are not in this packet, 56,290 stays a line count. Researchers who need persons must match names on the ZIP 77027 FEC page rather than dividing $47,320,000 by a guessed household count. Use the donor directory for names across ZIPs.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 77027?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 77027 total $47,320,000 across 56,290 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 $841 follows from dividing those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 77027?

LobbyVault counts 56,290 itemized contributions for ZIP 77027. 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 $47,320,000.

Does ZIP 77027 include only residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses can be part of $47,320,000 when 77027 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 56,290-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 77027 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $47,320,000 and 56,290 lines for ZIP 77027. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
