Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 80209

Line volume on ZIP 80209

61,990 itemizations is the distinctive count for 80209. $30,432,101 divided by 61,990 is about $491 per line. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median gift, not a typical household, and not evidence that every row is the same size.

61,990 is a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and redesignations can add rows without adding new people. This packet does not publish a donor headcount, so 61,990 should be cited as itemizations tagged 80209 on FEC.gov.

What the 80209 field is not

ZIP 80209 on an FEC itemization is the contributor ZIP as typed on the report. It is not proof of legal residence, not a voter file, and not a map of who voted. $30,432,101 follows the filed string. Recoding 80209 into a city or a three-digit prefix is a different dataset.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $30,432,101. Non-federal campaigns that never file with the FEC never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP do not move this receipt total. Cite $30,432,101 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 80209.

Size mix inside 61,990 rows

A mean of about $491 can still hide large lines. Sort the ZIP 80209 FEC page by amount. The packet does not publish medians or bands. The hub table is the only size split attached to $30,432,101 in this extract.

Do not infer turnout, engagement, or motive from 61,990 or $491. Itemizations are Schedule A rows labeled 80209. FEC.gov stored the ZIP string. LobbyVault summed it. Names live on the receipts, not in this roll-up.

Reading the ZIP 80209 hub

The ZIP 80209 FEC page holds the live $30,432,101 and 61,990 as currently indexed. 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 ranks other five-digit codes on the same series. Adding 80209 to neighboring codes is a recode you must document; it is not this $30,432,101 figure. The donor directory lists names that appear on itemized rows. Use it for people, not for a second copy of the ZIP total.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 80209?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 80209 total $30,432,101 across 61,990 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 $30,432,101. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 80209?

LobbyVault counts 61,990 itemized contributions for ZIP 80209. 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 $30,432,101, a mean near $491.

Does a high contribution count mean ZIP 80209 has more unique donors?

Not from this packet. 61,990 is itemizations. Unique donors are not published here. A long list can come from repeat givers and small itemized gifts as easily as from many distinct people. Use named receipts on the ZIP 80209 FEC page if you need persons. Keep $30,432,101 as the dollar roll-up.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 80209 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $30,432,101 and 61,990 lines for ZIP 80209. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal campaigns are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
