ZIP 80202: $48.1 million on 68,820 FEC itemizations

Sixty-eight thousand lines under $48.1 million

$48,141,805 divided by 68,820 is about $700. The mean is a ratio for researchers, not a typical gift. FEC.gov did not publish a median for 80202. A few large committee receipts can sit inside $48,141,805 without describing how most rows look. LobbyVault reports the dollar sum and the contribution count.

Sixty-eight thousand eight hundred twenty itemizations is a mid-to-high volume list. Sorting by dollars and sorting by count will not put 80202 in the same rank band as a 700-line ZIP with similar dollars. That contrast is filing shape. It is not a ranking of civic virtue. No party split is published on this ZIP total.

Downtown mail codes collect office PACs as readily as apartments. $48,141,805 is a ZIP roll-up of whatever five-digit code was filed. It is not a neighborhood census. 68,820 remains a line count on the same extract. Quote both numbers.

What FEC stored under 80202

The contributor ZIP on Schedule A is a five-digit string. A PAC, a joint fundraising committee, or an individual listing 80202 adds to $48,141,805 when that is the filed ZIP. The Commission does not flag which rows are residences. Recoding the total as household giving would be a new dataset.

68,820 is an itemization count. Repeat filers, redesignations, and memo entries add rows. This packet has no unique-donor field. This guide does not invent one.

Downtown mail codes like 80202 are easy to misread as resident books. FEC.gov stored the ZIP that was filed. $48,141,805 across 68,820 lines is what that field sums to in this aggregate. A mean near $700 follows from division. Unique donors are not in the packet.

Scope limits on $48,141,805

Unitemized federal gifts never enter. State-office money never enters. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter, even if the ad names a Colorado contest. Cite $48,141,805 as itemized federal receipts tagged 80202 on FEC.gov.

Restatements can still move the ZIP. Check the live ZIP 80202 FEC page after a large amendment. This guide is a snapshot of the aggregate indexed on LobbyVault, not a ticker.

Itemized-only scope still needs repeating. $48,141,805 never includes unitemized federal gifts and never includes Colorado state-office money. Mixing those systems with this ZIP total leaves FEC.gov. This page stays on itemized receipts tagged 80202.

80202 next to other codes

The all-ZIP directory uses the same FEC series. Place $48,141,805 and 68,820 beside peers with more lines and a lower mean, or fewer lines and a higher mean. Those differences describe mix. FEC.gov does not score which ZIP is more active.

Employer and occupation strings live on other tables. 80202 is a geographic key on the contributor record. Reading it as a downtown political program would add a story the file does not contain.

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 $48,141,805 as the ZIP roll-up on the extract LobbyVault indexed, then confirm the live hub if you need a dated window.

How to follow the 80202 table

Open the ZIP 80202 FEC page for the current roll-up. Use the all-ZIP directory to rank other five-digit codes. Use the donor directory when you need names on itemized rows. Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

If the live hub reprints a different $48,141,805 or 68,820, the newer extract wins. Guides do not freeze Commission filings.

How to cite 80202 without inflating a neighborhood

The accurate sentence is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 80202 total $48,141,805 across 68,820 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $700 follows from those two facts. It is not a median.

Because unique donors are not in this packet, you cannot convert 68,820 into a person count. Open the ZIP 80202 FEC page for named receipts. Use the all-ZIP directory to compare other codes. Use the donor directory for names across ZIPs. If the live hub reprints a different $48,141,805 or 68,820, the newer extract wins.

Title, H1, and table on the live hub should show the same $48,141,805 and 68,820 this guide cites. If they do not, the hub was rebuilt from a newer extract. Trust the hub over this paragraph.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 80202?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 80202 total $48,141,805 across 68,820 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 $700 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 80202?

LobbyVault counts 68,820 itemized contributions for ZIP 80202. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $48,141,805.

Does ZIP 80202 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 $48,141,805 when 80202 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 68,820-line count follows the same rule.

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $48,141,805 and 68,820 lines for ZIP 80202. 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.
