Key figures

  • ZIP 15222 FEC itemizations total $43,547,897 across 42,166 contributions.

Forty-two thousand lines, a four-figure mean

$43,547,897 divided by 42,166 is about $1,033 per itemized line. That mean sits above volume ZIPs with 100,000-plus rows and similar dollars. It is not a median. FEC.gov did not publish a typical-gift figure for 15222. LobbyVault reports the dollar sum and the contribution count.

Forty-two thousand one hundred sixty-six itemizations is a mid-size list. It is large enough to be a real filing stream and small enough that a few committee rows still matter. Both facts belong in any citation of $43,547,897. No party share is attached to the total.

A mean near $1,033 on 42,166 lines sits above many volume ZIPs with similar dollars. That placement is filing shape, not a ranking of civic energy. Keep $43,547,897 and 42,166 in the same citation.

What the 15222 ZIP field stores

Schedule A stores a five-digit contributor ZIP. A PAC, a joint fundraising committee, or an individual who lists 15222 will add to $43,547,897 when that is the ZIP on the receipt. FEC.gov does not mark which rows are homes. This aggregate therefore cannot be cited as resident-only giving in 15222.

The 42,166 figure counts itemized lines. Repeat contributors add lines. Redesignations and memo entries can add lines. This packet has no unique-donor count, so this guide does not invent a headcount of people behind 15222.

Downtown mail codes like 15222 are easy to misread as resident books. FEC.gov stored the ZIP that was filed. $43,547,897 across 42,166 lines is what that field sums to in this aggregate. A mean near $1,033 follows from division. Unique donors are not in the packet.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 15222?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 15222 total $43,547,897 across 42,166 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $1,033 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 15222?
LobbyVault counts 42,166 itemized contributions for ZIP 15222. 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 $43,547,897.
Does ZIP 15222 include only residents?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses can be part of $43,547,897 when 15222 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 42,166-line count follows the same rule.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 15222 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $43,547,897 and 42,166 lines for ZIP 15222. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal 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.
