ZIP Code 19102

A $1,083 mean on 25,001 Center City lines

Divide $27,067,145 by 25,001 and the mean line is about $1,083. Downtown Philadelphia codes often mix law offices, condo towers, and committee letterhead on the same five digits. That $1,083 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical Center City household.

Twenty-five thousand one itemizations is a substantial receipt list, shorter than some high-volume neighborhood ZIPs. Repeat gifts still add rows. 25,001 is a line count, not a roster of people who live near City Hall or Rittenhouse Square’s east edge.

The packet attaches no party split to $27,067,145 and no unique-donor field. Employer strings live elsewhere on LobbyVault. Quote 19102 with both $27,067,145 and 25,001 contributions. A higher mean than a dense residential ZIP is a prompt to inspect the largest lines.

What the 19102 field actually records

On FEC itemizations, 19102 is the contributor ZIP as filed. A Market Street office, a Center City condo, or a committee that uses 19102 on its report all feed $27,067,145 when that is the five-digit key. Recoding the field into a household-only book would invent a filter the Commission does not apply here.

Memo entries and redesignations sit inside the 25,001-line count. This guide will not invent a person count the packet left out. Philadelphia geography orients the map; it does not change the form field.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 19102?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 19102 total $27,067,145 across 25,001 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Center City residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $1,083 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 19102?

LobbyVault counts 25,001 itemized contributions for ZIP 19102. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. Those rows are itemized Schedule A lines, not people. The matching dollar total is $27,067,145.

Does ZIP 19102 include only Center City residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 19102 grid can be part of $27,067,145 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 25,001-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 19102 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $27,067,145 and 25,001 lines for ZIP 19102. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Pennsylvania state filings are outside both figures. LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
