The $16,047,925 Charleston ZIP roll-up
FEC.gov itemizations tagged 29401 add to $16,047,925. The matching line count is 29,191. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $550 per itemization. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median, not a typical historic Charleston household gift, and not evidence that one committee dominates the ZIP. Historic-core ZIPs often mix residential rows with professional-office mail on the same five digits.
Twenty-nine thousand one hundred ninety-one rows sits between thin $16 million files and high-volume ZIPs that need 60,000-plus lines. A list of 29,191 rows can still mix large transfers with small itemized gifts. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving, and a mean near $550 does not prove a single payer. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share the same five digits.
No party share is attached to $16,047,925. Keep 29401 as a geographic key on the contributor record. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a peninsula Charleston political score. Readers who want named payees should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the mean.
Peninsula addresses on federal receipts
29401 covers the historic peninsula, including residential blocks and professional-office mail. A contributor who lists a historic Charleston address, or a committee that files 29401, adds to $16,047,925 when that ZIP is on the itemization. The accurate description is tagged federal receipts, not “what historic Charleston residents gave.”
The packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 29,191 as a line count. Repeat gifts add rows. Memo entries add rows. This guide does not convert lines into people. South Carolina state filings never enter the federal ZIP total.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 29401?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 29401 total $16,047,925 across 29,191 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of historic Charleston residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 29401?
- LobbyVault counts 29,191 itemized contributions for ZIP 29401. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $16,047,925.
- Does ZIP 29401 include only Charleston residents?
- No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in historic Charleston can be part of $16,047,925 when 29401 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 29,191-line count follows the same rule.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 29401 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $16,047,925 and 29,191 lines for ZIP 29401. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. South Carolina State Ethics Commission 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.
