ZIP 95030: $18.3 million across 33,166 FEC lines

Hill-town dollars without a donor census

Split $18,283,349 across 33,166 itemized lines and the typical row is about $551. Silicon Valley folklore does not add a third number. The packet has two facts. It does not have a unique-donor count, a founder list, or a party split.

Thirty-three thousand one hundred sixty-six contributions is a working list, not a thin concentration ZIP. Repeat itemizations, household pairs, and any committee that files 95030 all add rows. Quote 33,166 as a line count. This packet has no donor headcount.

LobbyVault does not convert $18,283,349 into a ranking of Santa Clara County wealth. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 95030. The arithmetic is public.

Los Gatos readers sometimes want a founder story. This packet will not supply one. $18,283,349 across 33,166 contributions is a ZIP roll-up with a $551 mean. Hillside houses and downtown suites share 95030. Named receipts on the ZIP 95030 FEC page are the place to see committees. This packet has no unique-donor count. Do not fold Saratoga into the total unless you list that ZIP. Recheck the live hub. FEC.gov controls.

Los Gatos as a mail key

95030 covers the town of Los Gatos and adjoining canyon addresses. A filer who lists a downtown suite, a filer who lists a hillside house, and a joint fundraising committee that uses a 95030 box all land in the same five-digit bucket. $18,283,349 is that bucket. It is not a resident-only book.

Open the ZIP 95030 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not guess which of the 33,166 rows are households.

Federal itemization, not California state money

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $18,283,349. California Assembly and Senate campaigns sit outside. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP sit outside even if they mention a South Bay race. Cite the total only as itemized federal receipts tagged 95030.

A handful of restated transfers can move an $18 million headline more than hundreds of small lines. Recheck the live hub after quarterly filings. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Los Gatos canyon addresses and downtown suites share 95030. That mix is why $18,283,349 is not a hillside-household book. Keep 33,166 as a contribution-line total. This packet has no unique-donor count and no occupation field. The $551 mean is a ratio, not a typical founder gift.

Santa Clara County has many five-digit keys. Do not fold 95030 into a Silicon Valley sum without listing every ZIP. Recheck the ZIP 95030 FEC page after quarterly filings. Named receipts show which committees appear. The donor directory is not a second copy of $18,283,349. FEC.gov controls if a later extract disagrees.

95030 beside Saratoga and Los Altos codes

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same series. Nearby 95070 and 94022 often show different means. Compare 33,166 against those peers rather than against a Boulder ZIP with 77,000 lines. Filing shape is local to how addresses were entered.

Stacking Los Gatos with Saratoga is a common recode. This page does not perform it. $18,283,349 is the 95030 key only. If you build a South Bay total, list every ZIP you included and do not call the sum an FEC publication.

Filtering the donor directory to 95030 should reconcile to the ZIP hub, not to a homemade $551 average. When a name search and 33,166 disagree, the ZIP roll-up is the geographic total.

Los Gatos without a Silicon Valley census

95030 posts $18,283,349 across 33,166 contributions, about $551 per line. Hill-town folklore is not an occupation field. The packet has two facts. It has no unique-donor count and no founder list. Quote $18,283,349 and 33,166. Leave the mix to named receipts on the ZIP 95030 FEC page.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 95030?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 95030 total $18,283,349 across 33,166 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Los Gatos residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $551 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 95030?

LobbyVault counts 33,166 itemized contributions for ZIP 95030. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts 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 $18,283,349.

Is ZIP 95030 only gifts from Los Gatos households?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Committees and office addresses that file 95030 can be part of $18,283,349 when that is what was entered. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 95030 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $18,283,349 and 33,166 lines for ZIP 95030. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and California state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
