Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 80206

Cherry Creek volume on 66,171 lines

Sixty-six thousand one hundred seventy-one itemized receipts add to $40,218,692. The mean is about $608 per line ($40,218,692 / 66,171). That pairing is a high-volume urban-neighborhood pattern: many receipts, a mid-hundreds mean, eight-figure dollars. A mean in that band usually means many modest itemizations with a thinner tail of larger checks.

Sort the ZIP 80206 FEC page by amount to inspect the tail. The mean can look stable even if a few transfers are large, because 66,171 lines dilute them. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 66,171 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of Cherry Creek.

Denver is not a single ZIP. 80206 is one east-of-downtown code. Other Denver codes have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 80206 to a downtown or suburban Denver ZIP is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.

What the 80206 rollup omits

The aggregate is not a Colorado TRACER total and not a city of Denver campaign report. It is federal itemizations from FEC.gov. It is also not a party index. FEC schedules do not score ZIP codes by ideology, and this packet does not invent one.

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $40,218,692. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Colorado race. Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally them. Do not build an energy-or-telecom story from a ZIP total that has no employer aggregate.

80206 versus other Denver codes

Cherry Creek is a place name. ZIP 80206 is a five-digit FEC field. $40,218,692 across 66,171 lines is the indexed pair. Neighborhood geography is orientation. It is not an FEC finding about Denver giving habits. Employer, occupation, and recipient tables sit elsewhere.

The all-ZIP directory ranks dollars. 80206’s rank on dollars will not automatically match its rank on line count. Compare 66,171 receipts against a thinner Colorado ZIP as filing shape. FEC.gov publishes both. It does not crown a more engaged neighborhood.

Reading the $608 mean

Confirm the largest rows on the hub table. If they are committee names, note them. If they are personal names, note that instead. Either way, 66,171 remains a receipt count. The accurate comparison with another ZIP uses both dollars and line count, not dollars alone.

Cycle windows matter even when this packet does not print a cycle year. $40,218,692 is the indexed aggregate as harvested. An older clip with a different total is not a contradiction until extract dates are checked. FEC.gov amendments are expected on a ZIP with this many lines.

Source tables for 80206

The ZIP 80206 FEC page lists the table behind $40,218,692. The all-ZIP index ranks other codes. The donor directory is the name-level path. This copy uses only the packet’s total and contribution count. Cycle splits, party labels, and occupation tallies are omitted because they are not packet facts. If the live hub reprints a different total or 66,171-line count, the newer FEC extract wins. A mean near $608 follows from division and is not a median Cherry Creek resident. Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Cherry Creek 80206 as one Denver code, not a city stack

Denver has downtown, east, and suburban contributor ZIPs. 80206 is Cherry Creek. $40,218,692 across 66,171 lines should be quoted as that mailing code, not as ‘Denver giving.’ Adding 80206 to 80202 or a suburban Denver ZIP is a recode this packet does not contain. Rank those codes on the all-ZIP index instead.

The $608 mean on 66,171 lines is a high-volume urban-neighborhood shape. Large transfers can still sit in the tail. Sort the ZIP 80206 FEC page by amount. This packet has no unique-donor count. Cite 66,171 as receipts, not as people who live near the mall.

Colorado TRACER filings sit outside $40,218,692. Employer strings sit on rows. Use the donor directory for names. If the live hub reprints a different total or 66,171-line count, FEC.gov controls. The accurate sentence remains: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 80206 total $40,218,692 across 66,171 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 80206?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 80206 total $40,218,692 across 66,171 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Cherry Creek. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 80206?

LobbyVault counts 66,171 itemized contributions for ZIP 80206. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $40,218,692.

Does 80206 cover all of Denver?

No. 80206 is one five-digit code used in Cherry Creek. Other Denver ZIPs have separate FEC hubs with their own dollar totals. Compare them on the all-ZIP index. The $40,218,692 figure is only the itemizations labeled 80206, not a citywide census.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 80206 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $40,218,692 and 66,171 lines for ZIP 80206. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $608 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
