Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 81611

Fewer lines, still $31,263,828

$31,263,828 on 29,025 itemizations is a thicker mean than a ZIP that reaches similar dollars with twice as many rows. Dividing the two packet facts yields about $1,077 per line. That average is filing shape. It does not prove a typical gift size for every payer.

29,025 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 29,025 should be cited as itemizations tagged 81611 on FEC.gov.

What the 81611 field is not

ZIP 81611 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. $31,263,828 follows the filed string. Recoding 81611 into a city or a three-digit prefix is a different dataset.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $31,263,828. 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 $31,263,828 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 81611.

Do not treat $1,077 as a typical gift

A mean near $1,077 often hides a mix: many modest itemizations plus a smaller set of large lines that lift the average. The packet does not publish a median or size bands. Sort the ZIP 81611 FEC page by amount to see the mix inside $31,263,828.

Do not infer turnout, engagement, or motive from 29,025 or $1,077. Itemizations are Schedule A rows labeled 81611. FEC.gov stored the ZIP string. LobbyVault summed it. Names live on the receipts, not in this roll-up.

Reading the ZIP 81611 hub

The all-ZIP directory ranks other five-digit codes on the same series. Adding 81611 to neighboring codes is a recode you must document; it is not this $31,263,828 figure. The donor directory lists names that appear on itemized rows. Use it for people, not for a second copy of the ZIP total.
