South Bay volume on 71,689 federal lines
Seventy-one thousand six hundred eighty-nine itemized receipts add to $36,321,556. The mean is about $507 per line ($36,321,556 / 71,689). That pairing is a high-volume beach-city 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 90266 FEC page by amount to inspect the tail. The mean can look ordinary even if a few transfers are large, because 71,689 lines dilute them. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 71,689 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of Manhattan Beach.
The South Bay is not a single ZIP. 90266 is one Manhattan Beach code. Hermosa, Redondo, and El Segundo codes have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 90266 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.
What 90266 is not
The aggregate is not a California FPPC total and not a city of Manhattan Beach 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 $36,321,556. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Los Angeles race. Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally them. An aerospace-corridor story that cites $36,321,556 without opening those strings is using a ZIP total as a substitute for an employer table it does not have.
90266 versus other South Bay codes
Manhattan Beach is a place name. ZIP 90266 is a five-digit FEC field. $36,321,556 across 71,689 lines is the indexed pair. Strand geography is orientation. It is not an FEC finding about South Bay giving habits. Employer, occupation, and recipient tables sit elsewhere.
The all-ZIP directory ranks dollars. 90266’s rank on dollars will not automatically match its rank on line count. Compare 71,689 receipts against a thinner Los Angeles ZIP as filing shape. FEC.gov publishes both. It does not crown a more engaged beach city.
Reading the $507 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, 71,689 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. $36,321,556 is the indexed aggregate as harvested. Recheck the live ZIP 90266 FEC page after large filings. FEC.gov remains the source.
Where to continue from 90266
The ZIP 90266 FEC page lists the table behind $36,321,556. 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 71,689-line count, the newer FEC extract wins. A mean near $507 follows from division and is not a median Manhattan Beach resident.

Manhattan Beach 90266 versus Hermosa and Redondo codes
The South Bay strand has several contributor ZIPs. 90266 is Manhattan Beach. $36,321,556 across 71,689 lines should be quoted as that mailing code, not as ‘South Bay giving.’ Adding 90266 to Hermosa or Redondo is a recode this packet does not contain. Rank those codes on the all-ZIP index instead.
The $507 mean on 71,689 lines is a high-volume beach-city shape. An aerospace-corridor story that cites $36,321,556 without row-level employer strings is using a ZIP total as a substitute for a table it does not have. Sort the ZIP 90266 FEC page by amount. This packet has no unique-donor count. Cite 71,689 as receipts.
California FPPC filings sit outside $36,321,556. Use the donor directory for names. If the live hub reprints a different total or 71,689-line count, FEC.gov controls. Cite $36,321,556 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 90266, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

- LobbyVault’s ZIP aggregate shows $36,321,556 across 71,689 FEC contributions listing 90266, sourced from FEC.gov. The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP on each receipt. The mean is about $507 per line, which is not a unique-donor average.
- What is the average 90266 contribution?
- Dividing $36,321,556 by 71,689 receipts yields about $507 per line. That is a mean, not a median, and not a per-person average. This packet does not include a unique-donor count, so the receipt total should not be read as a headcount of Manhattan Beach residents.

- No. 90266 is one five-digit code used in Manhattan Beach. Other South Bay ZIPs have separate FEC hubs with their own dollar totals. Compare them on the all-ZIP index. The $36,321,556 figure is only the itemizations labeled 90266.

- On the ZIP 90266 FEC page, which lists the table behind $36,321,556 and 71,689 receipts. Rank other mailing codes on the all-ZIP index. Use the donor directory for person-level records. LobbyVault’s 90266 packet reports the dollar total and the contribution count only.
