ZIP Code 00000

What ZIP 00000 means on FEC itemizations

Filers reported 00000 as the contributor ZIP on itemized federal receipts that sum to $32,361,358 across 115,167 contributions. LobbyVault indexes the five-digit string as stored on FEC.gov. It does not recode 00000 into a city, a missing-data flag beyond the digits themselves, or a residential census. The code is what appeared in the ZIP field.

115,167 is a contribution-line count, not unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows. This packet has no donor headcount. Cite 115,167 as itemizations tagged 00000 and $32,361,358 as the matching dollar sum.

Why a zero-filled ZIP still has a dollar total

FEC contributor ZIP is a five-character field. Some rows carry 00000. Those rows still have dollar amounts, so they still add. $32,361,358 is that add. It is not proof that 115,167 gifts came from a single place, and it is not a reason to drop the rows from a national sum without documenting the drop.

Dividing $32,361,358 by 115,167 yields about $281 per line. That mean is arithmetic. It does not describe a typical household because 00000 is not a household geography in this packet.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 00000?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 00000 total $32,361,358 across 115,167 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a USPS delivery-area census. Unitemized gifts sit outside $32,361,358. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 00000?

LobbyVault counts 115,167 itemized contributions for ZIP 00000. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $32,361,358, a mean near $281.

Is ZIP 00000 a real USPS code in this table?

The table stores the five-digit contributor ZIP as filed. 00000 is the string on 115,167 itemizations that sum to $32,361,358. LobbyVault does not recode those rows into another ZIP. Treat 00000 as the field value, not as a town. Unique donors are not in this packet.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 00000 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $32,361,358 and 115,167 lines for ZIP 00000. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal campaigns are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $281 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
