  • The mean line is about $168, the highest-volume pattern in this remaining set.

106,067 lines on a $17.8 million ZIP

Divide $17,838,412 by 106,067 and the typical itemized line is about $168. That is the extreme high-volume end of this set: more receipts than any other remaining ZIP, the lowest mean. West Ann Arbor’s mix of households, campus-adjacent mail, and small itemized gifts can produce that shape. The packet does not prove the mix. It publishes two numbers. It does not publish a unique-donor count.

One hundred six thousand sixty-seven contributions is a line count, not a headcount of Ann Arbor. Repeat gifts, payroll-style itemizations, and redesignations can inflate the list. Quote 106,067 as a contribution-line total.

LobbyVault does not attach a university-town political identity to $17,838,412. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 48103.

West-side Ann Arbor is not the whole city

48103 covers west Ann Arbor and adjoining Scio Township addresses. Other Ann Arbor ZIPs are separate keys. A committee that lists a 48103 suite still posts that code. $17,838,412 follows the form. It is not a resident-only book and not a citywide sum.

Named receipts on the ZIP 48103 FEC page are the way to see which committees appear. This guide will not invent a split inside 106,067 lines.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 48103?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 48103 total $17,838,412 across 106,067 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 Ann Arbor residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $168 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
Why does ZIP 48103 have more than 100,000 contribution lines?
LobbyVault counts 106,067 itemized contributions for ZIP 48103 against $17,838,412. Dense household mail and many small itemized gifts can produce a long list at a low mean. Repeat gifts add lines without adding unique people. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 106,067 should not be quoted as a population.
Does ZIP 48103 cover all of Ann Arbor?
No. 48103 is the west-side mail key. Other Ann Arbor ZIPs are separate roll-ups. Committees and office addresses that file 48103 can be part of $17,838,412. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a citywide or residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 48103 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $17,838,412 and 106,067 lines for ZIP 48103. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Michigan state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, 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.
