Key figures

  • ZIP 22042 FEC itemizations total $21,950,736 across 346,969 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $63 β€” a high-volume, modest-mean ZIP.
  • 346,969 is a line count, not a unique-donor census.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

A $63 mean on 346,969 rows

$21,950,736 divided by 346,969 is about $63 per itemized line. Few ZIP roll-ups in this dollar range carry that many rows. The mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median, not a typical Northern Virginia household, and not proof that every row is a small check.

Three hundred forty-six thousand nine hundred sixty-nine is a contribution-line count, not a census of Falls Church or Merrifield residents. Repeat gifts, small-dollar itemizations that still clear the FEC threshold, memo entries, and redesignations can all stretch the list. 346,969 is not a unique-person figure.

A low mean with a huge line count often means many modest rows plus some larger ones that do not dominate the average. The packet does not publish size bands. Sort the ZIP 22042 FEC page by amount to inspect the mix inside $21,950,736.

Northern Virginia ZIP, federal string

22042 sits on the Falls Church / Merrifield mail grid. FEC.gov stores the five digits as typed on Schedule A. A home, an office park, or a committee that files 22042 adds to $21,950,736 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving recodes the field.

Proximity to Washington, D.C. does not change the math. $21,950,736 and 346,969 are still a five-digit roll-up from FEC.gov. Recoding 22042 into a metro area or a commuting shed is a different dataset.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 22042?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 22042 total $21,950,736 across 346,969 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $63 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
Why does ZIP 22042 have so many FEC contributions?
LobbyVault counts 346,969 itemized contributions for ZIP 22042 against $21,950,736. That is an unusually long line list for this dollar band. Repeat gifts, small itemizations, and memo entries can all add rows. The packet does not explain the mix and does not publish a unique-donor figure.
Does ZIP 22042 include only Falls Church residents?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 22042 grid can be part of $21,950,736 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 346,969-line count follows the same rule.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 22042 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $21,950,736 and 346,969 lines for ZIP 22042. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. State filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.

ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
