Adams Point volume on 92,730 federal lines

Ninety-two thousand seven hundred thirty itemized receipts add to $19,129,211. The mean is about $206 per line ($19,129,211 / 92,730). That pairing is a dense East Bay neighborhood pattern: a very long receipt list, a low-two-hundreds mean, eight-figure dollars. A mean in that band usually means many modest itemizations; large checks still sit in the tail but get diluted.

Sort the ZIP 94610 FEC page by amount to inspect the tail. The $206 mean can look small even if a few transfers are large, because 92,730 lines dilute them. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 92,730 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of Adams Point.

Oakland is not a single ZIP. 94610 is the lake-adjacent code. 94611, 94612, and Piedmont tags have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 94610 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.

What 94610 is not

The aggregate is not a California FPPC total and not a City of Oakland 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 $19,129,211. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a California race. Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally them. A Lake Merritt story that cites $19,129,211 without opening those strings is using a ZIP total as a substitute for an employer table it does not have.

High line count, low mean

A $206 mean on 92,730 lines sits next to North Berkeley 94708 on filing shape: many receipts, a low mean, similar dollars. Filing shape is not a finding that Adams Point writes smaller checks than Piedmont. FEC.gov publishes both dollars and line count. It does not score Grand Lake as more engaged because it has more receipts.

The all-ZIP directory ranks dollars. 94610's rank on dollars will not automatically match its rank on line count. Compare 92,730 receipts against a thinner Oakland ZIP as filing shape. Lake geography is orientation. It is not an FEC finding about giving habits.

Reading the $206 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, 92,730 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. $19,129,211 is the indexed aggregate as harvested. Recheck the live ZIP 94610 FEC page after large filings. FEC.gov remains the source.

Where to continue from 94610

The ZIP 94610 FEC page lists the table behind $19,129,211. 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 92,730-line count, the newer FEC extract wins. A mean near $206 follows from division and is not a median Oakland resident.

Lake Merritt adjacent codes that must stay separate

94610 is Adams Point and Grand Lake. Piedmont and 94611 (Montclair/Piedmont Avenue) have their own hubs. Do not add them to $19,129,211. Ninety-two thousand seven hundred thirty lines against a $206 mean is high-volume, low-mean East Bay shape. Sort the ZIP 94610 FEC page by amount even though the mean is low; a long list can hide a large tail.

California FPPC filings sit outside this table. The donor directory is the name-level path. If the live hub reprints a different total or 92,730-line count, FEC.gov controls. Cite $19,129,211 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 94610, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Questions

How much did ZIP 94610 itemize in federal contributions?
LobbyVault's ZIP aggregate shows $19,129,211 across 92,730 FEC contributions listing 94610, sourced from FEC.gov. The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP on each receipt. The mean is about $206 per line, which is not a unique-donor average.
Why is the 94610 average so low?
