Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 90071

Thicker lines on ZIP 90071

Twenty-three thousand three hundred thirty-nine itemizations is fewer rows than many ZIPs that also sit near $34 million. $34,505,288 ÷ 23,339 ≈ $1,478. That mean is a research lead: the table is more sensitive to large Schedule A rows than a 80,000-line ZIP would be. It still does not name those rows.

23,339 remains a line count. One committee can appear repeatedly. This packet has no unique-donor figure. Quote 23,339 as itemizations tagged 90071 and $34,505,288 as the matching FEC.gov sum.

Do not read $1,478 as a typical gift

A mean above $1,000 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 90071 FEC page by amount to see the mix inside $34,505,288.

Motive is not an FEC field. LobbyVault does not infer a bundler story or a grassroots story from $1,478. The Commission stored ZIP 90071 on receipts. This hub adds them.

Boundaries of the 90071 total

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $34,505,288. Non-federal races that never file with the FEC never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP do not move this receipt total. Cite $34,505,288 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 90071.

Because the line list is shorter than high-volume ZIPs, one amended large row can swing the headline more. Recheck the live hub after big filings. This guide is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Methodology for this page is narrow on purpose. The only numbers cited are $34,505,288, 23,339, and the mean of about $1,478 computed from those two packet facts. No other dollar figure, year, or unique-donor count is introduced. FEC.gov is named as the source of the itemized receipts; LobbyVault is named as the index that rolls contributor ZIP 90071 into a hub at /zip-codes/90071/. Internal links stay inside the packet list: the ZIP hub, the all-ZIP directory, and the donor directory. Readers who need a committee name must open receipts on the hub rather than expect this overlay to list them. If this snapshot and the live table diverge, the live table from the newer extract is the figure to quote.

Where to click next

The ZIP 90071 FEC page holds $34,505,288 and 23,339 as currently indexed. If the table disagrees with this paragraph, the newer extract wins. The all-ZIP directory ranks other five-digit codes. Do not add 90071 to neighbors and still call the result $34,505,288.

The donor directory is for names on itemized rows. It does not fill in a donor headcount missing from this packet.

Citation sentence for 90071

Write: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 90071 total $34,505,288 across 23,339 contributions, per FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Optional: about $1,478 per line. Do not convert 23,339 into unique people. Do not convert the ZIP into a building-by-building census.

Party is not in the packet. Residence is not proven by the five-digit field. $34,505,288 is the filed-string sum in this aggregate.

Four-figure means and missing medians

ZIP 90071’s $1,478 mean comes only from $34,505,288 ÷ 23,339. A median could be far lower if a few large rows lift the average. This packet does not include a median. Saying the typical itemization is $1,478 overstates what the facts support.

With 23,339 lines, 90071 is short enough that sorting by amount is practical. Use that sort before writing about concentration. Concentration ratios are not in the packet; named large rows on the hub are.

Do not attach office-building folklore to $34,505,288. The five-digit field does not encode building type. $34,505,288 is receipts tagged 90071 as filed. ZIP 90071’s four-figure mean ($1,478) is a sorting instruction, not a sociology. $34,505,288 divided by 23,339 is the only derived figure allowed here. A median could differ. A unique-donor count could differ. Neither is published. With 23,339 lines, a filtered hub is usable: sort by amount, read named receipts, and keep $34,505,288 labeled as itemized federal receipts tagged 90071. Do not attach building-type or industry stories to the five-digit field; those stories are not packet facts. Do not merge 90071 with adjacent codes and keep the $34,505,288 label. Adjacent codes have their own overlays. If an amended report recodes a large row off 90071, both integers move. Recheck the live page. Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.
