ZIP Code 20008

Northwest volume, not a downtown concentration ZIP

$123,976,662 divided by 217,638 is about $570 per itemized line. That mean tracks Chevy Chase 20815 and Upper West Side 10023 more closely than downtown 20005. 20008 is a long receipt list. Large PAC or joint-fundraising rows can still sit inside $123,976,662. They are diluted in the average by 217,638 lines.

Two hundred seventeen thousand six hundred thirty-eight contributions is an itemization count, not a unique-person count. Repeat givers, embassy-adjacent office addresses, and household pairs can lengthen the list. This packet has no donor headcount. Cite 217,638 as a contribution-line total.

No party split is published on $123,976,662. Northwest D.C. geography is orientation. It is not an FEC finding about ward ideology. The Commission stores a ZIP string.

Keep 20008 separate from 20007 and 20001

Georgetown 20007 and downtown 20001 are different contributor ZIPs. This page cites only 20008: $123,976,662 and 217,638. Adding D.C. codes is a recode. FEC.gov did not publish a combined District figure here.

A PAC or joint fundraising committee that lists a Connecticut Avenue address still posts 20008 when that is the ZIP on Schedule A. Household rows add the same way. Open the ZIP 20008 FEC page for named receipts rather than inferring the mix from the mean.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 20008?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 20008 total $123,976,662 across 217,638 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 Woodley Park and Cleveland Park. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $123,976,662 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 20008?

LobbyVault counts 217,638 itemized contributions for ZIP 20008. 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 217,638 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $123,976,662.

Does ZIP 20008 include only residents of Woodley Park and Cleveland Park?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in Woodley Park and Cleveland Park can be part of $123,976,662 when 20008 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 217,638-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 20008 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $123,976,662 and 217,638 lines for ZIP 20008. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from Woodley Park and Cleveland Park are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $570 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
