Federal contributions from ZIP 80210: $14.3M

Fifty thousand University-area lines

$14,282,530 divided by 50,024 is about $286 per itemized line. Fifty thousand twenty-four contributions is a long list for one south-central Denver code. 80209, 80218, and 80206 are different roll-ups. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count.

Do not treat 50,024 as a census of Washington Park. Repeat gifts and any committee that prints 80210 add rows. LobbyVault does not interpret $14,282,530 as a ranking of Denver civic intensity. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 80210.

South-central Denver is not a citywide total

A University neighborhood household and a committee suite can share 80210. $14,282,530 follows the form. Open the ZIP 80210 FEC page for named receipts. Colorado state-office filings are a different dataset. Adding 80210 to other Denver ZIPs and calling the sum a city FEC total is a recode you must document.

What stays outside $14,282,530

Unitemized federal gifts never enter. Colorado state-office campaigns never enter. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter, even if they mention a Denver race. Cite $14,282,530 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 80210. The mean of about $286 is arithmetic, not a median.

Live hub for 80210

The ZIP 80210 FEC page holds $14,282,530 and 50,024 as currently indexed. The all-ZIP directory places the code among others. The donor directory lists names on itemized receipts. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls. This packet does not publish a unique-donor count.

Method notes for the 80210 roll-up

LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov itemized receipts and groups them by the five-digit contributor ZIP. For 80210 (University / Washington Park Denver), that group currently totals $14,282,530 on 50,024 lines. $14.3M is the rounded headline. Denver County is the map context. Neither the map nor the rounding creates a new fact. There is no unique-donor field in this packet. Writing one would be invention.

Itemization has a federal threshold. Small unitemized gifts never appear in $14,282,530. Colorado state-office reports never appear in $14,282,530. Independent expenditures are a different schedule. If you need 80209, 80218, and 80206, open those hubs separately. Adding them to 80210 without saying so misstates the unit.

The mean of about $286 answers a narrow question: dollars divided by lines. It does not describe the median gift, the largest gift, or a typical household. Named receipts live on the ZIP 80210 FEC page. The all-ZIP directory is the inventory for rank and peer comparison. FEC.gov remains the controlling source if extracts diverge.

Keep the unit of analysis explicit. 80210 is a five-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations covering University / Washington Park Denver. $14,282,530 is the itemized-dollar total. 50,024 is the itemized-line total. $14.3M is $14,282,530 rounded. About $286 is those dollars divided by those lines. Denver County is map context. 80209, 80218, and 80206 are other keys. Colorado state-office activity is out of scope. Unitemized federal gifts are out of scope. This packet does not publish a unique-donor count, so do not cite one. Open the ZIP 80210 FEC page for the live index, the all-ZIP directory for peers, and the donor directory for names on itemized receipts. If those tools and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls. Cite the ZIP, the dollars, and the line count together.

LobbyVault publishes this 80210 guide so the hub at /zip-codes/80210/ is not a table without sentences. The canonical path /guides/zip-80210-political-donations/ is the standalone URL. Both pages should show the same two facts: $14,282,530 and 50,024 contributions. Neither page invents a unique-donor count. Neither page converts $14.3M into a forecast. Readers who want the row list should use the hub. Readers who want the explanation should stay on the guide. The ZIP remains the five-digit contributor field on FEC itemizations, indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. A complete citation names ZIP 80210, $14,282,530, 50,024 lines, and FEC.gov as the source of the underlying receipts.

Itemized federal receipts tagged 80210 remain $14,282,530 on 50,024 lines in this extract. That is the whole quantitative claim. Geography labels do not add a third harvested number. Missing unique-donor counts stay missing.
