Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 98009

A $2,157 mean on 9,082 P.O. box lines

Divide $19,590,800 by 9,082 and the mean line is about $2,157. That is a mailbox-code shape: a short receipt list against eight-figure dollars. The $2,157 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical Bellevue household. Street-delivery Bellevue codes such as 98004 and 98005 carry their own hubs.

Nine thousand eighty-two itemizations is a thin list next to high-volume Puget Sound residential ZIPs. Repeat gifts still add rows. 9,082 is a line count, not a roster of people who live in downtown Bellevue. A P.O. box ZIP concentrates whatever address the filer printed, including committee letterhead.

The packet attaches no party split to $19,590,800 and no unique-donor field. Employer strings live elsewhere on LobbyVault. Quote 98009 with both $19,590,800 and 9,082 contributions. A mean above two thousand dollars is a prompt to inspect the largest lines before treating the ZIP as a neighborhood census.

What the 98009 field actually records

On FEC itemizations, 98009 is the contributor ZIP as filed. A post-office box, a commercial mail drop, or a committee that uses 98009 on its report all feed $19,590,800 when that is the five-digit key. Recoding the field into a household-only book would invent a filter the Commission does not apply here.

Memo entries and redesignations sit inside the 9,082-line count. This guide will not invent a person count the packet left out. Bellevue geography orients the map; it does not change the form field. King County is not a substitute for the five digits.

Boundaries of the $19,590,800 roll-up

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $19,590,800. Washington PDC filings never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter it. Cite the total only as itemized federal receipts tagged 98009, from FEC.gov.

98004, 98005, 98007, and Seattle codes have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Do not add those totals to $19,590,800. An Eastside combined figure is a recode this packet does not contain.

Mailbox ZIPs versus street-delivery ZIPs

A $2,157 mean on 9,082 lines is not a finding that Bellevue residents write larger checks than Seattle. It is a filing-shape contrast: fewer lines, larger average. Sort the ZIP 98009 FEC page by amount. If the top rows are committee names, the mean is doing committee work. If they are personal names, note that instead.

The all-ZIP directory ranks dollars. 98009 can sit near a high-volume residential ZIP on dollars while ranking far below it on line count. FEC.gov publishes both numbers. It does not score a P.O. box ZIP as more engaged than a street-delivery ZIP.

Where to continue from 98009

The ZIP 98009 FEC page lists the table behind $19,590,800. 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 9,082-line count, the newer FEC extract wins. A mean near $2,157 follows from division and is not a median Bellevue resident.

P.O. box codes and Eastside street-delivery hubs

98009 is a Bellevue P.O. box stream. Street-delivery 98004 and 98005 have their own dollar totals. Do not add them to $19,590,800. Nine thousand eighty-two lines against a $2,157 mean is mailbox filing shape. It is not a finding that Eastside households write larger checks than Seattle. Sort the ZIP 98009 FEC page by amount to see the tail.

Washington PDC filings sit outside this table. The donor directory is the name-level path. If the live hub reprints a different total or 9,082-line count, the newer FEC extract wins. Cite $19,590,800 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 98009, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Bellevue 98009 is a P.O. box stream, not downtown Seattle and not street-delivery 98004. $19,590,800 across 9,082 lines is the indexed pair. Rank Eastside street codes on the all-ZIP index. A $2,157 mean on a short list is mailbox filing shape. It is not a typical household gift. Confirm the largest rows on the ZIP 98009 FEC page. Recheck the live hub after large filings. FEC.gov remains the source for both the dollar total and the 9,082-line count.
