Federal contributions from ZIP 90401

Fewer lines, still $16,142,168

FEC.gov itemizations tagged 90401 add to $16,142,168. The matching line count is 19,192. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $841 per itemization. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median, not a typical Santa Monica household gift, and not evidence that one committee dominates the ZIP. A single restated Schedule A can move both the dollar total and the line count in the same extract.

Nineteen thousand one hundred ninety-two rows is a thinner file than many ZIPs near $16 million that need 40,000-plus lines to reach a similar dollar total. A list of 19,192 rows can still mix large transfers with small itemized gifts. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving, and a mean near $841 does not prove a single payer. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share the same five digits.

No party share is attached to $16,142,168. Keep 90401 as a geographic key on the contributor record. LobbyVault does not recode the field into the Santa Monica core political score. Readers who want named payees should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the mean.

Pier-adjacent mail versus household giving

90401 covers a compact downtown and pier-adjacent slice of Santa Monica. A contributor who lists a Santa Monica address, or a committee that files 90401, adds to $16,142,168 when that ZIP is on the itemization. The accurate description is tagged federal receipts, not “what Santa Monica residents gave.”

The packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 19,192 as a line count. Repeat gifts add rows. Memo entries add rows. This guide does not convert lines into people. California state filings never enter the federal ZIP total.

What $16,142,168 leaves out

Unitemized federal gifts are out. California Fair Political Practices Commission filings are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $16,142,168 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 90401.

Amendments can still move a Santa Monica core ZIP. Recheck the ZIP 90401 FEC page after a restatement. An older clip with a different total is not a contradiction until extract dates match. Seaside office ZIPs are especially prone to committee-address clustering.

90401 in the ZIP ranking

The all-ZIP directory uses the same FEC series. Other Santa Monica codes may show more lines and a lower mean. Those contrasts describe filing shape, not which neighborhood is more partisan. FEC.gov does not score the Santa Monica core.

Do not add 90401 to 90402 or 90403 and call the sum a metro total. Each code is a separate contributor-ZIP roll-up. This page’s facts are $16,142,168 and 19,192 contributions.

How to cite 90401 without stretching the field

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 90401?

LobbyVault counts 19,192 itemized contributions for ZIP 90401. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $16,142,168.

Does ZIP 90401 include only Santa Monica residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in Santa Monica can be part of $16,142,168 when 90401 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 19,192-line count follows the same rule.
