Federal contributions from ZIP 98105

University District volume on 72,884 lines

Seventy-two thousand eight hundred eighty-four itemized receipts add to $24,395,139. The mean is about $335 per line ($24,395,139 / 72,884). That pairing is a high-volume campus-adjacent pattern: many receipts, a mid-three-figure mean, eight-figure dollars. A mean in that band usually means many modest itemizations with a thinner tail of larger checks.

Sort the ZIP 98105 FEC page by amount to inspect the tail. 72,884 lines will dilute large transfers in the average. This packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 72,884 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of the University District.

Seattle is not a single ZIP. 98105 is one northeast code. Downtown, Capitol Hill, and Eastside suburbs have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 98105 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table. Campus-adjacent ZIPs attract employer stories that this packet cannot support. $24,395,139 is not a University of Washington subtotal. Seventy-two thousand eight hundred eighty-four receipts are not a faculty headcount. Open occupation strings on the ZIP 98105 FEC page if that is the question. This copy stops at the dollar total, the line count, and the five-digit field as filed.

Federal money next to a public university

Searchers often want a University of Washington political-money story. This packet is federal only. Washington Public Disclosure Commission filings for state office sit outside $24,395,139. Mixing PDC and FEC money invents a Seattle figure this packet does not contain.

Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally faculty, hospital, or tech employers. A campus story that cites $24,395,139 without those strings is using a ZIP total as a substitute for an employer table. University District mail includes dorms, faculty housing, hospitals, and storefronts. Seventy-two thousand eight hundred eighty-four itemizations can draw from all of those. $24,395,139 is the tagged sum, not a faculty census. Employer strings live on individual receipts on the ZIP 98105 FEC page. Seattle’s other northeast codes are not inside this total. Adding them would invent a north-end figure. The all-ZIP index is the comparison surface. This packet cites $24,395,139 and 72,884 only.

What 98105 is not

The aggregate is not a Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission total and not a party index. FEC schedules do not score ZIP codes by ideology. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $24,395,139. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Washington race.

The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP as filed. A workplace on campus or a committee box can share 98105 with residential mail.

Reading the $335 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, 72,884 remains a receipt count. The accurate comparison with another ZIP uses both $24,395,139 and the line count.

Cycle windows matter even when this packet does not print a cycle year. Recheck the live ZIP 98105 FEC page after large filings. If a later extract disagrees, the newer FEC.gov file wins.

Where to continue from 98105

The ZIP 98105 FEC page lists the table behind $24,395,139. 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. A mean near $335 follows from division and is not a median University District resident.

A mean near $335 on a high line count is a volume shape. Compare it with downtown Seattle codes that post similar dollars on fewer receipts. Do not import those other totals here. Recheck the live hub after large filings. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $24,395,139. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Washington race.
