ZIP 97201: $18.0 million across 44,948 FEC lines

Southwest Portland, not a citywide FEC sum

$17,968,302 divided by 44,948 is about $400 per itemized line. 97201 covers southwest Portland toward the South Waterfront and Portland State. That is one mail key, not the city. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count or a citywide roll-up.

Forty-four thousand nine hundred forty-eight contributions is a substantial list. Repeat givers, campus-adjacent addresses, and any committee that files 97201 all add rows. Do not treat 44,948 as a census of Portland.

LobbyVault does not interpret $17,968,302 as an Oregon political identity. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 97201.

Southwest Portland is not Portland. $17,968,302 across 44,948 contributions is 97201 only. Hillside households and Portland State-adjacent addresses share the field. This packet has no unique-donor count. The $400 mean is arithmetic. Recheck the ZIP 97201 FEC page after quarterly filings. The Pearl is a different key. The all-ZIP directory is the inventory. FEC.gov remains the original filing.

Hills and campus mail on one field

97201 mixes hillside households, Portland State addresses, and downtown-adjacent offices. A joint fundraising committee that lists a 97201 suite still posts that ZIP. $17,968,302 follows the form. It is not a resident-only book.

The 44,948-line count can include memo entries and redesignations. Open the ZIP 97201 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not guess which rows are households.

What $17,968,302 leaves out

Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Oregon state-office campaigns are omitted. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Multnomah race. Cite $17,968,302 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 97201.

A restated joint-fundraising block can move the dollar 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.

Southwest Portland’s 97201 key includes hillside households and Portland State-adjacent addresses. $17,968,302 across 44,948 contributions is that key only, not the city. Keep 44,948 as a line count. This packet has no unique-donor count. The $400 mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts.

Oregon local campaigns never enter this federal ZIP total. Recheck the ZIP 97201 FEC page after quarterly filings. Goose Hollow and Pearl keys have their own totals in the all-ZIP directory. Named receipts show which committees appear. FEC.gov remains the original filing.

97201 beside 97205 and 97209

Goose Hollow and the Pearl are different mail keys. Adding them to 97201 and calling the sum a Portland FEC total is a recode you must document. This page reports $17,968,302 for 97201 only.

The all-ZIP directory is the inventory for that comparison. Compare 44,948 against those peers rather than against a Boulder ZIP with 77,000 lines. Filing shape is local to how addresses were entered.

Southwest Portland without a Multnomah sum

97201 posts $17,968,302 across 44,948 contributions, about $400 per line. That is one southwest key, not the city of Portland. Portland State-adjacent mail and hillside households share the field. This packet has no unique-donor count and no campus split.

97205 and 97209 are adjoining keys. Adding them to 97201 manufactures a city figure. If you need that figure, list every ZIP. Keep 44,948 as the 97201 line count. The all-ZIP directory is the inventory.

Named receipts remain the way to see committees. The donor directory is not a second copy of those two facts. Unitemized gifts still sit outside both numbers.
