ZIP Code 33480

A hundred thousand lines on $186 million

$186,308,957 divided by 100,357 is about $1,860 per itemized line. That mean sits between volume city ZIPs under $1,000 and concentration ZIPs above $10,000. Palm Beach hosts both household itemizations and event-driven committee receipts. FEC.gov does not split those groups in this ZIP total. LobbyVault reports $186,308,957 and 100,357.

One hundred thousand three hundred fifty-seven itemizations is a long list for a small island ZIP. Seasonal addresses, repeat givers, and any PAC that files a 33480 street or P.O. box all add rows. This packet has no unique-donor count. Cite 100,357 as a contribution-line total, not a census of the town.

No party split is published on $186,308,957. Island geography is orientation. It is not an FEC finding about Florida ideology. The Commission stores a ZIP string.

Seasonal mail and the 33480 field

A contributor who lists a Palm Beach winter address posts 33480 when that is the ZIP on Schedule A, even if another home is elsewhere. A joint fundraising committee that uses a 33480 event address does the same. $186,308,957 follows the form. It is not a year-round resident book unless you add a filter the file does not have.

The 100,357-line count can include memo entries and redesignations. Open the ZIP 33480 FEC page for named receipts rather than inferring a donor population from the line list.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 33480?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 33480 total $186,308,957 across 100,357 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 Palm Beach, Florida. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $186,308,957 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 33480?

LobbyVault counts 100,357 itemized contributions for ZIP 33480. 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 100,357 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $186,308,957.

Does ZIP 33480 include only residents of Palm Beach, Florida?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in Palm Beach, Florida can be part of $186,308,957 when 33480 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 100,357-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 33480 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $186,308,957 and 100,357 lines for ZIP 33480. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from Palm Beach, Florida are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $1,860 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
