ZIP Code 20003

Nearly $496 million on 139,823 lines

$495,874,427 divided by 139,823 is about $3,550 per itemized line. That mean sits between downtown concentration ZIPs and high-volume residential-looking ZIPs. The packet still has no median and no unique-donor count. Arithmetic is not a typical-gift portrait.

One hundred thirty-nine thousand eight hundred twenty-three itemizations is a long list. Hill-adjacent ZIPs accumulate receipts from people who list a work address, from committees that file a 20003 mail drop, and from itemized individuals. FEC.gov does not separate those groups in this ZIP total. LobbyVault reports the sum.

This aggregate carries no party split. Reading $495,874,427 as a Capitol Hill ideology score is a category error. The field is a ZIP string on an itemized receipt.

20003 as a contributor ZIP, not a block map

A joint fundraising committee or PAC that uses a 20003 address adds to $495,874,427 when that ZIP is filed. So does an individual who lists a Southeast D.C. home. The table does not tell you which share is which. The honest sentence is: itemized federal receipts tagged 20003 total $495,874,427.

The 139,823 figure counts rows. Repeat givers add rows. This page does not convert the line count into a population of donors.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 20003?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 20003 total $495,874,427 across 139,823 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 people who live in Capitol Hill in Washington. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $495,874,427 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 20003?

LobbyVault counts 139,823 itemized contributions for ZIP 20003. 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, so 139,823 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $495,874,427.

Does ZIP 20003 include only residents of Capitol Hill in Washington?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in Capitol Hill in Washington can be part of $495,874,427 when 20003 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 139,823-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 20003 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $495,874,427 and 139,823 lines for ZIP 20003. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from Capitol Hill in Washington are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $3,550 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
