Key figures
- ZIP 02139 FEC itemizations total $17,571,451 across 91,693 contributions.
- The mean line is about $192, a high-volume Cambridge pattern.

- Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.
91,693 lines on a $17.6 million campus ZIP
Divide $17,571,451 by 91,693 and the typical itemized line is about $192. That high-volume, low-mean shape matches other university-adjacent codes more than it matches a Financial District ZIP with 27,000 lines. MIT and Central Square geography do not add a third packet fact. The file has two numbers. It does not have a unique-donor count.
Ninety-one thousand six hundred ninety-three contributions is a line count, not a headcount of Cambridge. Repeat gifts, campus-address batches, and redesignations can inflate the list. Quote 91,693 as a contribution-line total.
LobbyVault does not attach an academic political identity to $17,571,451. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 02139.
Keep the leading zero; Cambridge has several keys
02139 is a five-digit code. Spreadsheets that store 2139 will fail to match FEC itemizations. 02138 and 02142 are different Cambridge keys. A committee that lists a Massachusetts Avenue suite still posts 02139. $17,571,451 follows the form. It is not a resident-only book and not a citywide sum.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 02139?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 02139 total $17,571,451 across 91,693 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 census of Cambridge residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $192 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
- Why does ZIP 02139 have so many contribution lines?
- LobbyVault counts 91,693 itemized contributions for ZIP 02139 against $17,571,451. Campus-adjacent household mail and small itemized gifts can produce many rows at a low mean. Repeat gifts add lines without adding unique people. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 91,693 should not be quoted as a population.
- Does ZIP 02139 cover all of Cambridge?
- No. 02139 is one Cambridge mail key. 02138 and 02142 are separate roll-ups. Keep the leading zero when matching files. Committees and office addresses that file 02139 can be part of $17,571,451. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a citywide or residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 02139 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $17,571,451 and 91,693 lines for ZIP 02139. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Massachusetts state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
