Federal contributions from ZIP 78704
Itemized federal contributions that list ZIP 78704 add up to $14.2M across 69,898 contributions. The five-digit code is the contributor ZIP on FEC.gov receipts, not a Texas Ethics Commission local file. Nearly seventy thousand lines at this dollar scale is a long receipt list: many itemized rows, not a thin stack of oversized transfers. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault.
Key figures
- ZIP 78704 FEC itemizations total $14,240,019 ($14.2M).
- 69,898 contributions list 78704 — a high-volume receipt file at this dollar scale.
- South Austin’s 78704 tag is a filing key, not a headcount of Travis County residents.
- This packet has no unique-donor count.
South Austin’s $14,240,019 federal roll-up
$14,240,019 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 78704 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. The Texas Ethics Commission filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $14.2M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in South Austin spent.
Sixty-nine thousand eight hundred ninety-eight rows is a high-volume file among ZIPs near $14 million. A long list can still hide a few large committee transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 78704.
No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $14,240,019. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Travis County political score. Readers who want named payees, dates, or employer strings should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the line count alone. The supported facts in this packet are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition.
69,898 lines behind South Austin's $14.2M
The extract lists 69,898 contributions for 78704. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide does not invent how many people sit behind South Austin filings. A file this long at $14.2M is a high-volume ZIP: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. Large committee lines can still sit inside a long list.
Scanning 69,898 rows by eye is impractical. Sort the ZIP 78704 FEC page by amount to see whether $14,240,019 is spread across many names or concentrated in a few payees. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and split receipts all add rows. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. The packet facts stop at the dollar total and the line count.
78704 as a Schedule A ZIP
Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. South Congress corridors, residential streets, and committee mail in 78704 can share the code. Quote $14.2M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure. Swap that phrase for “South Austin residents spent” only if the hub rows actually support it.
The packet has no residency filter beyond the ZIP box. A contributor who lists a South Austin address, or a committee that files 78704, adds to the same roll-up when that ZIP is on the itemization. A Travis County street address and a committee box that files 78704 both increment the same dollar total.
Finding 78704 on LobbyVault
The ZIP 78704 FEC page is the itemized table behind $14,240,019 and 69,898 contributions. The all-ZIP index is the comparison catalog. The donor directory searches names across the FEC file. FEC.gov is the originating system. LobbyVault indexes the ZIP field so the packet facts can be quoted without assembling Schedule A reports by hand.
South Austin is one code in a national ZIP catalog; neighboring Austin ZIPs are separate keys with their own totals. Open the hub for committee names, amounts, and dates that this summary does not carry. This guide stays inside the harvested facts and does not add cycle splits or employer roll-ups that the packet omitted.
What 78704 does not show
No unique-donor count, party split, cycle trend, or per-resident ratio appears here. Those facts are not in the packet. Texas state campaign reports are out. Austin municipal filings are out. So is any unitemized federal gift below the itemization threshold. the Texas Ethics Commission filings never enter the federal ZIP total. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are also out. Cite $14,240,019 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 78704.
