ZIP Code 00646

Two thousand lines, $21.3 million

$21,345,408 divided by 2,006 is about $10,641 per itemized line. That is filing shape, not a typical Dorado household. A short list with a five-figure mean usually means large Schedule A rows — committee transfers, memo entries, or a handful of high-dollar itemizations — dominate the roll-up.

Two thousand six is still a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new people. It is also not a single check. This packet has no donor headcount and no size bands.

Do not read $10,641 as what a typical payer gave. Sort the ZIP 00646 FEC page by amount. A few large rows can account for most of $21,345,408 while smaller itemizations fill out 2,006.

Puerto Rico ZIP, two leading zeros

00646 is a Dorado, Puerto Rico five-digit ZIP. FEC files store contributor ZIP as a five-character string. 00646 is not 646 and is not 04646. Exports that coerce the field to a number drop both zeros and fail to match the ZIP 00646 FEC page.

Puerto Rico contributors file federal itemizations under the same FEC rules as stateside ZIP codes. $21,345,408 follows the filed string. Recoding 00646 into a municipality or an island-wide total is a different dataset.
