Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 98119

Line volume on ZIP 98119

53,918 itemizations is the distinctive count for 98119. $29,688,603 divided by 53,918 is about $551 per line. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median gift, not a typical household, and not evidence that every row is the same size.

53,918 is a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and redesignations can add rows without adding new people. This packet does not publish a donor headcount, so 53,918 should be cited as itemizations tagged 98119 on FEC.gov.

What the 98119 field is not

ZIP 98119 on an FEC itemization is the contributor ZIP as typed on the report. It is not proof of legal residence, not a voter file, and not a map of who voted. $29,688,603 follows the filed string. Recoding 98119 into a city or a three-digit prefix is a different dataset.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $29,688,603. Non-federal campaigns that never file with the FEC never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP do not move this receipt total. Cite $29,688,603 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 98119.

Size mix inside 53,918 rows

A mean of about $551 can still hide large lines. Sort the ZIP 98119 FEC page by amount. The packet does not publish medians or bands. The hub table is the only size split attached to $29,688,603 in this extract.

Do not infer turnout, engagement, or motive from 53,918 or $551. Itemizations are Schedule A rows labeled 98119. FEC.gov stored the ZIP string. LobbyVault summed it. Names live on the receipts, not in this roll-up. Methodology for this page is narrow on purpose. The only numbers cited are $29,688,603, 53,918, and the mean of about $551 computed from those two packet facts. No other dollar figure, year, or unique-donor count is introduced. FEC.gov is named as the source of the itemized receipts; LobbyVault is named as the index that rolls contributor ZIP 98119 into a hub at /zip-codes/98119/. Internal links stay inside the packet list: the ZIP hub, the all-ZIP directory, and the donor directory. Readers who need a committee name must open receipts on the hub rather than expect this overlay to list them. If this snapshot and the live table diverge, the live table from the newer extract is the figure to quote.

Reading the ZIP 98119 hub

The ZIP 98119 FEC page holds the live $29,688,603 and 53,918 as currently indexed. Title, H1, and table should match those two facts. If they do not, the hub was rebuilt from a newer extract and this snapshot is stale. Trust the hub over this paragraph.

The all-ZIP directory ranks other five-digit codes on the same series. Adding 98119 to neighboring codes is a recode you must document; it is not this $29,688,603 figure. The donor directory lists names that appear on itemized rows. Use it for people, not for a second copy of the ZIP total.
