ZIP Code 77079

Memorial ZIP, energy-office folklore, two FEC facts

$17,647,695 divided by 52,817 is about $334 per itemized line. 77079 sits in west Houston near the Energy Corridor. That reputation does not convert the total into an oil-company ledger. The packet publishes a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not publish a unique-donor count or an employer split.

Fifty-two thousand eight hundred seventeen contributions is a long list. Households, office parks, and any committee that files 77079 all add rows. Do not treat 52,817 as a census of Memorial residents.

LobbyVault does not attach a Houston political identity to $17,647,695. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 77079.

Energy Corridor office parks can appear in 77079 named receipts beside Memorial households. $17,647,695 across 52,817 contributions does not split those uses. This packet has no unique-donor count and no employer field. The $334 mean is arithmetic. Recheck the ZIP 77079 FEC page after quarterly filings. 77024 is a different key. The donor directory lists names. FEC.gov remains the original.

Beltway households and corridor offices share one field

77079 covers Memorial-area households and adjoining commercial parks. A filer who lists a workplace, a filer who lists a house, and a joint fundraising committee that uses a 77079 suite all land in the same bucket. $17,647,695 is that bucket. It is not a resident-only book.

Named receipts on the ZIP 77079 FEC page are the way to see which committees appear. This guide will not invent a split inside 52,817 lines.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 77079?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 77079 total $17,647,695 across 52,817 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not an energy-industry census. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $334 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 77079?

LobbyVault counts 52,817 itemized contributions for ZIP 77079. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Workplace-address batches and repeat gifts can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $17,647,695.

Is ZIP 77079 only oil-company PAC money?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Households and committees that file 77079 can both appear in $17,647,695. Energy Corridor geography is a reason to inspect named receipts, not a reason to treat the whole total as PAC-only. LobbyVault does not recode the field into an industry book. Open the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 77079 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $17,647,695 and 52,817 lines for ZIP 77079. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Texas state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
