ZIP 19809 accounts for $102,553,171 in federal contributions across 13,909 FEC itemized receipts. LobbyVault sums FEC.gov filings that list 19809 as the contributor ZIP. The code is used in the Wilmington, Delaware area, and the receipt count is thin for the dollars. PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can share those five digits, and a pattern this sparse usually means they do.
Key figures
- ZIP 19809 FEC itemizations total $102,553,171 on 13,909 receipts.
- Mean itemized amount is about $7,373, a sparse-receipt pattern.
- PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can share 19809 with personal itemizations.
- Unique donor counts are not in this packet.
A $102.6 million ZIP on 13,909 receipts
Thirteen thousand nine hundred nine itemized lines produce $102,553,171. The mean is about $7,373 per receipt ($102,553,171 / 13,909). That is among the highest means in this batch of ZIP hubs, and it is not a household-typical figure. A small city ZIP with nine-figure federal itemizations and a four-digit receipt count is a committee-address pattern until the table shows otherwise.
Wilmington-area codes appear on corporate and committee letterhead because Delaware is a common legal home for entities. FEC itemizations still store a five-digit ZIP, not a corporate-charter flag. LobbyVault does not mark 19809 as a Delaware-entity ZIP; it stores what treasurers typed. The $102,553,171 total follows that typing.
Comparing 19809 with a high-volume residential ZIP on dollars alone hides the receipt gap. Thirteen thousand lines versus two hundred thousand lines is the fact that should lead the comparison. $102,553,171 is large; 13,909 is the reason to open the largest rows first.
Why a high mean changes how to read the table
Sort the ZIP 19809 FEC page by amount before describing the ZIP as local giving. If a short list of committee names accounts for most of $102,553,171, the ZIP is a mail drop for federal money that may have been raised elsewhere. Joint-fundraising pass-throughs often land on a convenient address. The FEC ZIP field follows the form.
There is no unique-donor count in this packet. Thirteen thousand receipts are still not a people count, and with a $7,373 mean they are even less likely to be a neighborhood headcount. Keep 13,909 labeled as contribution lines.
