Federal contributions from ZIP 98115

One hundred seven thousand Northeast Seattle lines

$21,529,872 divided by 107,175 is about $201 per itemized line. Green Lake, Wedgwood, and View Ridge mail share those five digits on Schedule A. That $201 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical Northeast Seattle household.

One hundred seven thousand one hundred seventy-five itemizations is a very long receipt list. Repeat gifts, small-dollar itemizations that still clear the FEC threshold, workplace itemizations, and bundled events can all add rows. 107,175 is not a headcount of people north of the ship canal.

A low-to-modest mean with a huge line count often means many modest rows plus some larger ones that do not dominate the average. The packet does not publish size bands. Sort the ZIP 98115 FEC page by amount to inspect the mix inside $21,529,872.

A residential-looking ZIP, still a federal string

98115 covers Northeast Seattle neighborhoods. FEC.gov stores the five digits as typed on Schedule A. A home, a small office, or a committee that files 98115 adds to $21,529,872 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving recodes the field.

The 107,175-line count includes memo entries and redesignations. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted. Seattle geography is orientation only.

Do not treat 107,175 as people

Searchers seeing 107,175 may read it as a headcount. It is not. It is the number of itemized contribution rows tagged 98115 in the LobbyVault aggregate. Repeat payers and memo lines inflate the count without adding unique donors. This packet has no unique-donor field.

Do not infer turnout or engagement from 107,175 or from the $201 mean. Itemizations are Schedule A rows labeled 98115. FEC.gov stored the ZIP string. LobbyVault summed it. Names live on the receipts, not in this roll-up.

What $21,529,872 leaves out

Unitemized federal gifts are out. Washington Public Disclosure Commission filings are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $21,529,872 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 98115, from FEC.gov.

A high-volume Seattle ZIP still moves when schedules are amended. Recheck the ZIP 98115 FEC page after a restatement. Compare extract dates before treating two published totals as a contradiction.

98115 next to other Seattle codes

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same FEC series. 98103, 98105, or 98112 may show different means on different line counts. Those contrasts describe filing shape. FEC.gov does not score neighborhoods.

Do not add 98115 to another Northeast Seattle code into a north-end total on this page. The file reports one key: 98115, $21,529,872, 107,175 contributions.

The accurate citation is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 98115 total $21,529,872 across 107,175 contributions, per FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $201 describes filing shape. Unique donors are not in the packet. Party is not in the packet.

Cite 98115 as $21,529,872 across 107,175 contributions, per FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $201 is $21,529,872 ÷ 107,175. That arithmetic describes a high-volume, modest-mean ZIP. It does not describe 107,175 unique Northeast Seattle residents. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and small itemizations that still clear the federal threshold can all stretch the list.

Do not add 98115 to 98103, 98105, or 98112 into a north-of-the-ship-canal total on this page. Each key is a separate FEC string. If the live ZIP 98115 FEC page reprints a different pair, the newer extract wins. Washington Public Disclosure Commission filings sit outside $21,529,872. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside it. Named receipts answer who is on the rows; this roll-up answers the ZIP, the dollars, and the 107,175-line count.

Questions

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 98115 total $21,529,872 across 107,175 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 98115?

LobbyVault counts 107,175 itemized contributions for ZIP 98115. That is a high line count for this dollar band. 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 is $21,529,872.

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 98115 grid can be part of $21,529,872 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 107,175-line count follows the same rule.
