Contributor ZIP 77008 accounts for $11.6M in itemized federal contributions across 41,183 contributions. The five-digit field is the ZIP on FEC.gov receipts for Houston Heights mail, not a Texas Ethics Commission local file. Forty-one thousand one hundred eighty-three lines at this dollar scale is a mid-to-long receipt file rather than a thin stack of oversized transfers. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault.

Key figures

  • ZIP 77008 FEC itemizations total $11,561,828 ($11.6M).
  • 41,183 contributions list 77008 as the contributor ZIP.
  • 77008 is a Heights filing key, not an inner-loop Houston FEC total.
  • This packet has no unique-donor count.

Heights $11,561,828

$11,561,828 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 77008 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. the Texas Ethics Commission filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $11.6M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in the Houston Heights spent.

Forty-one thousand one hundred eighty-three rows sits on the longer side of mid-length $11 million ZIP files. A list of this length can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 77008. Inner-loop geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $11,561,828. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a inner-loop Houston political score. Readers who want named payees, dates, or employer strings should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the line count alone. The supported facts in this packet are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition. Nothing in the packet assigns $11.6M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

41,183 contributions without a donor roster

The extract lists 41,183 contributions for 77008. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide does not invent how many people sit behind the Houston Heights filings. A mid-length file at $11.6M can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

A list of 41,183 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $11,561,828, the committee column on the hub will show it. If the total is many individual names, that will show too. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. Keep 77008 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as a Heights political score.

Questions

How much federal money is tagged to ZIP 77008?
Receipts listing 77008 total $11,561,828 across 41,183 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of the Houston Heights and not the Texas Ethics Commission campaign totals. The packet facts stop at those two totals and the ZIP definition.
Are 41,183 contributions the same as 41,183 donors?
No. The figure counts itemized receipts. One person can appear many times. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. See names on the ZIP 77008 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.
Does ZIP 77008 include Texas state races?
No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Texas Ethics Commission filings sit outside $11,561,828. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 77008 FEC page for the federal table. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP hub, not in this summary. The packet facts stop at the dollar total and the contribution count.
Where are 77008 itemizations listed?
On the ZIP 77008 FEC page. Compare codes on the all-ZIP index and search names in the donor directory. Original filings are on FEC.gov. This guide quotes only the harvested packet facts: $11,561,828, 41,183 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

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