Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 94596

Filing shape for ZIP 94596

$31,634,365 is the itemized federal receipt sum tagged 94596 in this LobbyVault aggregate. 32,207 is the matching line count. Together they yield about $982 per itemization. None of those figures is a unique-donor census.

32,207 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 32,207 should be cited as itemizations tagged 94596 on FEC.gov.

What the 94596 field is not

ZIP 94596 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. $31,634,365 follows the filed string. Recoding 94596 into a city or a three-digit prefix is a different dataset.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $31,634,365. 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 $31,634,365 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 94596.

Size mix inside 32,207 rows

A mean of about $982 can still hide large lines. Sort the ZIP 94596 FEC page by amount. The packet does not publish medians or bands. The hub table is the only size split attached to $31,634,365 in this extract.

Do not infer turnout, engagement, or motive from 32,207 or $982. Itemizations are Schedule A rows labeled 94596. FEC.gov stored the ZIP string. LobbyVault summed it. Names live on the receipts, not in this roll-up. Methodology for this page is narrow on purpose. The only numbers cited are $31,634,365, 32,207, and the mean of about $982 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 94596 into a hub at /zip-codes/94596/. 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.

Reading the ZIP 94596 hub

The ZIP 94596 FEC page holds the live $31,634,365 and 32,207 as currently indexed. Title, H1, and table should match those two facts. If they do not, the hub was rebuilt from a newer extract and this snapshot is stale. Trust the hub over this paragraph.

The all-ZIP directory ranks other five-digit codes on the same series. Adding 94596 to neighboring codes is a recode you must document; it is not this $31,634,365 figure. The donor directory lists names that appear on itemized rows. Use it for people, not for a second copy of the ZIP total.

How to cite ZIP 94596

The accurate citation is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 94596 total $31,634,365 across 32,207 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $982 describes filing shape, not a typical resident. Unique donors are not in the packet. Party is not in the packet.

If a restated fundraising transfer or an amended Schedule A changes the extract, $31,634,365 and 32,207 will move. Recheck the live hub after large filings. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault, not a forecast of the next report. Thirty-two thousand lines and $31.6 million produce a mean near $1,000—mid-list, not a 7,000-row concentration.

A near-$1,000 mean without a median

ZIP 94596 posts $31,634,365 across 32,207 lines, about $982 each. Writers round that to $1,000 and call it typical. The packet supports only the mean of two facts. It does not support a typical-gift claim.

32,207 is mid-list: not 7,000, not 90,000. Sorting by amount is still the way to see whether $31,634,365 is a pile of similar rows or a mixed pile. The packet does not say which.

Party split, cycle split, and unique donors are absent. $31,634,365 is an address-field total from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. ZIP 94596 sits near a $1,000 mean because $31,634,365 ÷ 32,207 ≈ $982. That is a ratio, not a typical gift. No median is in the packet. No unique-donor count is in the packet. 32,207 is mid-list: large enough that a silent table needs prose, small enough that sorting by amount on /zip-codes/94596/ is practical. Use that sort. Keep $31,634,365 labeled as itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 94596. Keep unitemized federal gifts and non-federal campaigns outside the number. Keep independent expenditures paid from another ZIP outside the number. Compare other codes on the all-ZIP directory without merging keys. When the hub disagrees with this snapshot, the hub’s FEC extract wins. LobbyVault indexes the field as filed.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 94596?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 94596 total $31,634,365 across 32,207 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count. Unitemized gifts sit outside $31,634,365. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 94596?

LobbyVault counts 32,207 itemized contributions for ZIP 94596. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $31,634,365, a mean near $982.

Does ZIP 94596 on FEC reports mean only local residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the itemization as filed. LobbyVault does not recode 94596 into a residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear. The 32,207-line count follows the same rule as the $31,634,365 sum.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 94596 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $31,634,365 and 32,207 lines for ZIP 94596. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal campaigns are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $982 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
