Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 78212

A $617 mean on 35,166 rows

$21,710,063 on 35,166 itemizations yields about $617 per line. That average is filing shape. It does not prove a typical gift size for every payer, and it does not name the committees on the large rows. Sort the hub by amount to see the mix inside $21,710,063.

Thirty-five thousand one hundred sixty-six is still a large line count. It is not a unique-donor census. Repeat itemizations can lengthen 35,166 without adding people. This packet has no donor headcount.

Cite $21,710,063 and 35,166 together. Dropping the line count and quoting only dollars hides how the total was built. Dropping the dollars and quoting only 35,166 hides the size of the roll-up.

Inner San Antonio ZIP, federal string

Searchers may place 78212 on the Monte Vista / Olmos Park / Midtown San Antonio grid. FEC.gov stores a five-digit contributor ZIP, not a neighborhood census. A home, an office, or a committee that files 78212 adds to $21,710,063 when that is what the receipt shows.

The 35,166-line count includes memo entries and redesignations. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted. Bexar County geography is orientation only. The legal field is the string 78212 as filed.

What $21,710,063 does not cover

Unitemized federal contributions never enter the $21,710,063 sum. Texas state races that do not file with the FEC never enter it. Independent expenditures paid under a different ZIP do not move this receipt total. Mixing those series with 78212 double-counts some activity and misses other activity.

Amended reports can still shift $21,710,063 and 35,166. Recheck the live hub after large filings. This guide is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Using the 78212 hub

Open the ZIP 78212 FEC page for the current $21,710,063 and 35,166. Title, H1, and table should match those two facts. If they do not, the hub was rebuilt from a newer extract and this snapshot is stale. Trust the hub over this paragraph.

The all-ZIP directory places 78212 next to other codes on the same series. Adding 78212 to neighboring San Antonio codes is a recode you must document; it is not this $21,710,063 figure. The donor directory lists names that appear on itemized rows.

Citing ZIP 78212 without inflating the code

Write: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 78212 total $21,710,063 across 35,166 contributions, per FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Do not convert 35,166 lines into unique people. Do not convert $21,710,063 into a neighborhood giving census.

Party split is not in this packet. Unique donors are not in this packet. The mean of about $617 is the only derived figure, and it is just $21,710,063 ÷ 35,166. Use named receipts on the hub when you need payers.

How researchers should quote 78212

The clean citation is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 78212 total $21,710,063 across 35,166 contributions, per FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $617 may follow as arithmetic. It is not a typical Monte Vista gift and not a unique-donor count. This packet has no party split and no size bands.

Inner San Antonio mail on 78212 covers Monte Vista, Olmos Park fringe, and Midtown. FEC.gov did not encode those neighborhood names. If 78212 is on the itemization, the dollars enter $21,710,063. Treating 35,166 as people who live inside the loop overstates the field. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding payers.

Do not add 78212 to 78209 or 78205 into a near-downtown total here. That recode is a new dataset. Texas state races that never file with the FEC sit outside $21,710,063. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside it. Title and table on the ZIP 78212 FEC page should match $21,710,063 and 35,166. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls. Use the donor directory for names, not for a second ZIP total.

A researcher who only quotes $21,710,063 without 35,166 hides the $617 mean. Quote both. If a committee later amends the ZIP field on a large inner-San Antonio row, both figures move. Recheck the ZIP 78212 FEC page. This file is a snapshot, not an amendment log.
