The $15,187,833 east Memphis roll-up
FEC.gov itemizations tagged 38120 add to $15,187,833. The matching line count is 25,536. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $595 per itemization. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median, not a typical east Memphis household gift, and not evidence that one committee dominates the ZIP. East Memphis ZIPs often mix household itemizations with medical-center and professional-office mail.
Twenty-five thousand five hundred thirty-six rows sits between thin high-mean ZIPs and high-volume small-mean files. A list of 25,536 rows can still mix large transfers with small itemized gifts. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving, and a mean near $595 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 $15,187,833. Keep 38120 as a geographic key on the contributor record. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a east Shelby County political score. Readers who want named payees should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the mean.
East Shelby County mail versus household giving
38120 covers an east Memphis slice tagged 38120. A contributor who lists a east Memphis address, or a committee that files 38120, adds to $15,187,833 when that ZIP is on the itemization. The accurate description is tagged federal receipts, not “what east Memphis residents gave.”
The packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 25,536 as a line count. Repeat gifts add rows. Memo entries add rows. This guide does not convert lines into people. Tennessee state filings never enter the federal ZIP total.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 38120?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 38120 total $15,187,833 across 25,536 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 east Memphis residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 38120?
- LobbyVault counts 25,536 itemized contributions for ZIP 38120. 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 $15,187,833.
- Does ZIP 38120 include only Memphis residents?
- No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in east Memphis can be part of $15,187,833 when 38120 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 25,536-line count follows the same rule.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 38120 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $15,187,833 and 25,536 lines for ZIP 38120. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Tennessee Registry of Election Finance 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.
