A long line list on the D.C. line
$124,791,855 divided by 216,487 is about $576 per itemized line. Among Maryland ZIPs in this wave, 20815 is the volume outlier: more lines than Potomac 20854, a lower mean. That does not prove every line is small. Large PAC or joint-fundraising itemizations can still sit inside $124,791,855. They are diluted in the average by 216,487 lines.
Two hundred sixteen thousand four hundred eighty-seven contributions is an itemization count, not a unique-person count. Repeat givers and household pairs can lengthen the list. This packet has no donor headcount. Cite 216,487 as a contribution-line total, not a census of Chevy Chase.
No party split is published on $124,791,855. Close-in Maryland geography is orientation. It is not an FEC finding about suburban ideology. The Commission stores a ZIP string.
20815 is not 20854
Potomac and Chevy Chase are different contributor ZIPs. Adding 20815 to 20854 is a recode. FEC.gov did not publish a combined Montgomery County figure on this table. A PAC that lists a 20815 address adds only to this total when that ZIP is filed.
Household rows and committee rows share the 216,487-line count. Open the ZIP 20815 FEC page for named receipts rather than inferring the mix from the mean.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 20815?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 20815 total $124,791,855 across 216,487 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 Chevy Chase, Maryland. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $124,791,855 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 20815?
- LobbyVault counts 216,487 itemized contributions for ZIP 20815. 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 216,487 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $124,791,855.
- Does ZIP 20815 include only residents of Chevy Chase, Maryland?
- No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in Chevy Chase, Maryland can be part of $124,791,855 when 20815 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 216,487-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 20815 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $124,791,855 and 216,487 lines for ZIP 20815. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from Chevy Chase, Maryland are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $576 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
