FEC itemizations that list ZIP 48105 total $16,924,567 across 75,655 contributions. The code is an Ann Arbor, Michigan five-digit ZIP on federal receiptsβ€”campus-adjacent geography stored as an address label, not as a university poll. Figures come from FEC.gov filings indexed on LobbyVault. Seventy-five thousand rows at this dollar scale is a dense receipt file, not a unique-person count.

Key figures

  • ZIP 48105 FEC itemizations total $16,924,567.
  • 75,655 contributions list 48105 as the contributor ZIP.
  • The contribution count is not a unique-donor total.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can be included in the ZIP total.

Dollar total disclosed under 48105

The $16,924,567 figure is the sum of itemized federal contributions that carried 48105. Federal committees nationwide can appear as recipients. Michigan state and city races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total.

A dense row file under that dollar figure usually means many separate itemizations: repeat givers, modest disclosed gifts, and cycle-over-cycle repeats. This page will not publish an employer table or an average gift, because those statistics are not in the packet. The 48105 hub is where mix is visible.

Ann Arbor 48105’s $16,924,567 and 75,655 contributions invite a campus-percentage claim this packet cannot support. The FEC ZIP field does not flag students, faculty, or town residents. Employer text on some receipts may hint; it is still committee-reported text, not a census. Do not convert hints into a percentage.

75,655 contributions are rows, not people

The extract counts 75,655 contributions for 48105. That is how many disclosed lines share the ZIP. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide will not guess how many unique faculty, students, or residents sit behind the file. Payroll-style repeats can occupy many lines for one name.

High row volume is a reason not to treat 48105 as a handful of marquee checks. It is also a reason not to treat 75,655 as a crowd size. Both errors skip the table. Names and committees on the ZIP page are the evidence.

Michigan state filings and city campaigns are outside this extract. A 48105-tagged federal gift to an out-of-state committee still sits in $16,924,567. That is how ZIP geography works. Caption it as tagged disclosure, not as local-race money.

Questions

What is the FEC total for ZIP 48105?
Itemizations listing 48105 total $16,924,567 across 75,655 contributions. Both figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Ann Arbor and not Michigan state campaign totals. LobbyVault indexes those FEC.gov itemizations so $16,924,567 and 75,655 contributions can be checked on the ZIP 48105 hub without assembling committee reports by hand.
Does 75,655 contributions equal 75,655 donors?
No. The number counts itemized receipts. Repeat gifts and earmarks add rows. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. See names on the ZIP 48105 FEC page. This packet still does not include a distinct-donor total, so 75,655 remains a receipt count for ZIP 48105 even after the hub is open.
Can PAC money appear in the 48105 total?
Yes. FEC stores the five-digit ZIP on the contribution. Joint-fundraising committees and PAC addresses using 48105 can sit inside the $16,924,567 sum with residential receipts. Committee names on the hub identify those lines. Read committee names on the largest ZIP 48105 lines before treating $16,924,567 as household-only money; the five-digit field does not make that distinction by itself.
Where are 48105 itemizations published?
On the ZIP 48105 FEC page. Other codes are on the all-ZIP index, and names can be searched in the donor directory. Original filings are on FEC.gov. Those three LobbyVault paths plus FEC.gov are the full working set for verifying $16,924,567 and 75,655 contributions tagged to ZIP 48105.

ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
