How much did ZIP 27705 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 27705 total $12,494,259 across 49,156 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Durham and not North Carolina State Board of Elections campaign totals. The packet facts stop at $12,494,259 and 49,156 contributions; named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP 27705 FEC page.

Does 49,156 contributions mean 49,156 people donated?

No. The figure counts itemized receipts. One person can appear many times. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. See names on the ZIP 27705 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people. Open the ZIP 27705 FEC page for names behind the 49,156 lines.

Does ZIP 27705 include North Carolina state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. North Carolina State Board of Elections filings sit outside $12,494,259. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 27705 FEC page for the federal table. The packet facts stop at $12,494,259 and the contribution count. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP 27705 FEC page, not in this summary.

Durham 27705’s $12,494,259

$12,494,259 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 27705 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. North Carolina State Board of Elections filings and Durham municipal races sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $12.5M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household near Duke spent.

Forty-nine thousand one hundred fifty-six rows is a high-volume file among ZIPs near $12 million. A long list can still hide large committee transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 27705. Durham County geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $12,494,259. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Triangle political score. Readers who want named payees, dates, or employer strings should open the live hub. The supported facts are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition.

49,156 lines, no unique-donor figure

The extract lists 49,156 contributions for 27705. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide does not invent how many people sit behind Durham 27705 filings. A file this long at $12.5M is a high-volume ZIP: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

Scanning 49,156 rows by eye is impractical. Sort the ZIP 27705 FEC page by amount to see whether $12,494,259 is spread across many names or concentrated in a few payees. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. Keep 27705 as a geographic key on the contributor record.
