Itemized FEC.gov receipts that list contributor ZIP 22901 add to $19,490,725 on 47,816 lines. Charlottesville, Virginia uses this northern-and-western city code, distinct from downtown 22902. PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can share those five digits.

Key figures

  • ZIP 22901 FEC itemizations total $19,490,725 on 47,816 receipts.
  • Mean itemized amount is about $408.
  • 22901 is one Charlottesville mailing code, not a citywide total.
  • Unique donor counts are not in this packet.

Charlottesville volume on 47,816 federal lines

Forty-seven thousand eight hundred sixteen itemized receipts add to $19,490,725. The mean is about $408 per line ($19,490,725 / 47,816). That pairing is a high-volume small-city pattern: many receipts, a low-to-mid hundreds mean, eight-figure dollars. A mean in that band usually means many modest itemizations with a thinner tail of larger checks.

Sort the ZIP 22901 FEC page by amount to inspect the tail. The mean can look ordinary even if a few transfers are large, because 47,816 lines dilute them. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 47,816 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of Charlottesville.

Charlottesville is not a single ZIP. 22901 is one city code. 22902, 22903, and Albemarle County tags have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 22901 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.

What 22901 is not

The aggregate is not a Virginia Department of Elections total and not a City of Charlottesville campaign report. It is federal itemizations from FEC.gov. It is also not a party index. FEC schedules do not score ZIP codes by ideology, and this packet does not invent one.

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $19,490,725. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Virginia race. Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally them. A university story that cites $19,490,725 without opening those strings is using a ZIP total as a substitute for an employer table it does not have.

Questions

How much did ZIP 22901 itemize in federal contributions?
LobbyVault's ZIP aggregate shows $19,490,725 across 47,816 FEC contributions listing 22901, sourced from FEC.gov. The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP on each receipt. The mean is about $408 per line, which is not a unique-donor average.
What is the average 22901 contribution?
Dividing $19,490,725 by 47,816 receipts yields about $408 per line. That is a mean, not a median, and not a per-person average. This packet does not include a unique-donor count, so the receipt total should not be read as a headcount of Charlottesville residents.
Does 22901 cover all of Charlottesville?
22901 is one Charlottesville code. 22902, 22903, and nearby Albemarle tags have separate FEC hubs with their own dollar totals. Compare them on the all-ZIP index. The $19,490,725 figure is only the itemizations labeled 22901. This packet reports the dollar total and the contribution count only, with no unique-donor field.
Where can I see 22901 receipts?
On the ZIP 22901 FEC page, which lists the table behind $19,490,725 and 47,816 receipts. Rank other mailing codes on the all-ZIP index. Use the donor directory for person-level records. LobbyVault's 22901 packet reports the dollar total and the contribution count only.

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