ZIP Code 20037

Sixty-four thousand D.C. mail rows

Divide $47,485,005 by 64,264 and the mean line is about $739. That average is a ratio. It is not a typical gift and it is not a median. A Foggy Bottom and West End mail ZIP can mix ordinary individual rows with committee rows on the same five digits. FEC Schedule A stores whatever ZIP the filer put on the receipt. LobbyVault sums those rows.

Sixty-four thousand two hundred sixty-four itemized lines is a mid-volume ZIP. Sorting the ZIP hub by dollars places 20037 among other $47 million codes. Sorting by contribution count places it below six-figure lists. Both sorts are the same public file. Nothing in this aggregate assigns a party or a motive to the $47,485,005.

District of Columbia commercial ZIPs collect office addresses as readily as apartments. $47,485,005 is a ZIP roll-up of whatever five-digit code was filed. It is not a ward total. 64,264 remains a line count on the same extract. Quote both numbers.

How FEC addressing works on 20037

Individual contribution files include a ZIP field taken from the contributor record. Committees and joint fundraising committees often use a business ZIP. When those entities appear as contributors or as the address on a transferred receipt, their ZIP is 20037 if that is what was filed. Treating $47,485,005 as what residents donated overstates a neighborhood and understates how FEC addressing works.

Unitemized gifts below the federal itemization threshold never enter this total. D.C. local filings never enter it. Independent expenditures paid by a committee with a different ZIP never enter it. The $47,485,005 figure is a ZIP roll-up of itemized federal receipts, sourced from FEC.gov.

District mail codes like 20037 are easy to misread as resident books. FEC.gov stored the ZIP that was filed. $47,485,005 across 64,264 lines is what that field sums to in this aggregate. A mean near $739 follows from division. Unique donors are not in the packet.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 20037?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 20037 total $47,485,005 across 64,264 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 20037?

LobbyVault counts 64,264 itemized contributions for ZIP 20037. 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 $47,485,005.

Does $47.5 million mean people who live in 20037 gave that much?

The ZIP is the five-digit code on the FEC itemization. Joint fundraising and PAC addresses can appear in the same $47,485,005 total. 64,264 is a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Treating $47,485,005 as resident-only giving overstates a neighborhood and understates how FEC addressing works. Open the ZIP 20037 hub for named receipts.
