Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 77002?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 77002 total $83,530,195 across 104,621 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 downtown Houston. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $83,530,195 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 77002?
LobbyVault counts 104,621 itemized contributions for ZIP 77002. 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 104,621 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $83,530,195, a mean near $798.
Does ZIP 77002 include only residents of downtown Houston?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in downtown Houston can be part of $83,530,195 when 77002 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 104,621-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 77002 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $83,530,195 and 104,621 lines for ZIP 77002. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Texas state office campaigns are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $798 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

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