Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 94129

A short list carrying $34,888,856

Seven thousand six hundred seventy-three itemizations is a much thinner row set than ZIPs that reach the mid-thirty millions with tens of thousands of lines. $34,888,856 ÷ 7,673 ≈ $4,547. A mean that high usually means the table is sensitive to a small number of large Schedule A rows. It does not, by itself, identify those rows.

7,673 remains a line count, not unique people. One committee can appear many times. This packet has no donor headcount. Quote 7,673 as itemizations attached to ZIP 94129, and quote $34,888,856 as the matching dollar sum from FEC.gov.

Why average size is the research lead here

On a high-mean ZIP, sorting the ZIP 94129 FEC page by amount is more informative than treating $4,547 as a typical gift. A few large lines can dominate $34,888,856 while many smaller itemizations fill out 7,673. The packet does not split the total into size bands. The hub table is the split.

Do not infer a grassroots story or a bundler story from the mean. FEC.gov stored a ZIP string. LobbyVault summed receipts labeled 94129. Motive is not a field on the itemization.

Limits of the 94129 roll-up

Unitemized federal gifts are omitted from $34,888,856. State campaigns that never file with the FEC are omitted. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted. Cite the number only as itemized federal receipts tagged 94129.

Because 7,673 is relatively small, one amended mega-itemization can move the headline more than it would on an 80,000-line ZIP. Recheck the live hub after large filings. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Next clicks from ZIP 94129

The ZIP 94129 FEC page holds $34,888,856 and 7,673 as currently indexed. If title, H1, and table disagree with this guide, the newer extract wins. The all-ZIP directory ranks other codes on the same series. Do not add 94129 to neighboring codes and still call the result $34,888,856.

The donor directory lists names on itemized rows. Use it when you need people. It is not a substitute for the ZIP total and it does not supply a unique-donor count for this packet.

How to write the 94129 citation

The accurate sentence is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 94129 total $34,888,856 across 7,673 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Adding “about $4,547 per line” is optional arithmetic. It is not a median and not a household figure.

Party is not in the packet. Unique donors are not in the packet. Residence is not proven by the five-digit field. Keep those limits in any careful citation of $34,888,856.

Sensitivity of a 7,673-line ZIP

On ZIP 94129, 7,673 itemizations carry $34,888,856. Removing or restating a single large row changes the headline more than the same restatement would on an 80,000-line ZIP. That is why the $4,547 mean is a caution, not a personality profile of the code.

Do not pad 7,673 with unitemized estimates. Unitemized federal gifts are outside this extract by definition. Adding a guessed unitemized block would invent a number this packet does not contain.

The overlay at /zip-codes/94129/ is the live table. This guide’s $34,888,856 and 7,673 are the packet facts. If a journalist needs the current ranking among ZIPs, use the all-ZIP directory rather than subtracting 94129 from a remembered national total that is not in this packet. ZIP 94129 is the short-list member of this dollar band: 7,673 itemizations carrying $34,888,856, about $4,547 per line. That ratio is why a journalist should sort the hub by amount before writing about “the ZIP.” The packet will not name the large rows. It will not compute a share of $34,888,856 held by the top ten lines. Those shares are not facts here. What is a fact is that a 7,673-line roll-up swings when one large Schedule A row is restated. Recheck /zip-codes/94129/ after major filings. Cite $34,888,856 and 7,673 from the same extract. Do not mix a remembered dollar total with a later line count. Unique donors, party, and cycle year remain unpublished. The donor directory can show names that appear on itemized rows without turning 7,673 into people.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 94129?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 94129 total $34,888,856 across 7,673 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows. Unitemized gifts sit outside $34,888,856. The mean of those two facts is about $4,547 per line, which is filing shape, not a typical-resident figure.

Why does ZIP 94129 have so few contributions relative to the dollars?

The packet records 7,673 itemizations against $34,888,856. That ratio is about $4,547 per line. It means the roll-up is more sensitive to large rows than a high-volume ZIP would be. It does not name those rows. Open the ZIP 94129 FEC page and sort by amount. 7,673 is still a line count, not unique donors.

Is ZIP 94129 a count of unique federal donors?

No. 7,673 is an itemization count. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and redesignations can add lines without adding people. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. Cite 7,673 as contribution lines tagged 94129 and $34,888,856 as the matching dollar total from FEC.gov.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 94129 totals?

From FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $34,888,856 and 7,673 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Non-federal campaigns and unitemized federal gifts are outside both numbers. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
