Employer strings live on individual receipts. This rollup does not tally medical-center-adjacent or professional offices. Quoting $22,684,422 as an industry total substitutes a ZIP for an employer table. Upper Kirby’s tight grid packs offices and apartments onto few blocks. Forty-six thousand seven hundred twenty-nine receipts can still fill a compact map. $22,684,422 is the tagged sum, not a proof that a small ZIP is a small file. The ZIP 77098 FEC page shows the names. Greenway Plaza’s eastern edge can share 77098 with Kirby Drive retail. The FEC field does not split those uses. Quoting $22,684,422 as a medical-center total substitutes a ZIP for an employer table.
