Key figures

  • ZIP 68131 FEC itemizations total $39,014,295 on 5,653 receipts.
  • Mean itemized amount is about $6,902, consistent with committee-heavy ZIPs.
  • 68131 is a midtown Omaha mailing code, not a citywide census.
  • Unique donor counts are not in this packet.

Eight figures on 5,653 Omaha lines

Five thousand six hundred fifty-three itemized receipts add to $39,014,295. The mean is about $6,902 per line ($39,014,295 / 5,653). That is not a typical household ZIP mean. It is the arithmetic you get when large committee transfers share a midtown code with a thinner set of personal itemizations. Comparing 68131 with a high-volume residential ZIP without noting the 5,653-line gap will mislead a reader.

Midtown Omaha mixes hospitals, offices, and apartments. FEC filers can list a committee at a suite in such a mix. LobbyVault does not relabel those rows as non-residential; the ZIP field is whatever the committee reported. The $39,014,295 total follows letterhead, not a residential occupancy file.

Omaha is not a single ZIP. 68131 is one midtown code. Other Omaha codes have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Do not fold 68131 into a homemade Douglas County total.

Why a short line list needs a name check

If you treat $39,014,295 as what people who sleep in 68131 gave, you will overstate household giving. Five thousand six hundred fifty-three rows is few enough that the largest lines are inspectable. Sort the ZIP 68131 FEC page by amount. If a short list of payers accounts for most of the total, the ZIP is functioning as a committee address more than as a residential cluster. That is a reading of the table, not a motive claim.

Pass-through fundraising is the other reason midtown ZIPs inflate. A joint-fundraising committee can report a large receipt at 68131 while earmarked pieces sit on other lines or other ZIPs. LobbyVault’s ZIP total follows the ZIP on each itemization it includes. It does not reconstruct the full path of every dollar.
