How much did ZIP 78205 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 78205 total $11,756,516 across 11,645 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of downtown San Antonio and not Texas Ethics Commission campaign totals. The packet facts stop at those two totals and the ZIP definition.

Does 11,645 contributions mean 11,645 people donated?

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 78205 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 78205 include Texas state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Texas Ethics Commission filings sit outside $11,756,516. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 78205 FEC page for the federal table. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the hub, not in this summary.

Where can I see 78205 itemizations?

On the ZIP 78205 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: $11,756,516, 11,645 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

Unique Donors

$11.8M in itemized federal contributions list ZIP 78205 as the contributor code, across 11,645 contributions. The five-digit field is the ZIP on FEC.gov receipts for downtown San Antonio mail, not a Bexar County local-election file. Eleven thousand six hundred forty-five lines at this dollar scale is a mid-length receipt list. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault.

Key figures

ZIP 78205 FEC itemizations total $11,756,516 ($11.8M).
11,645 contributions list 78205 as the contributor ZIP.
78205 is a downtown San Antonio filing key, not a Bexar County residency census.
This packet has no unique-donor count.

Alamo-area mail and $11,756,516

$11,756,516 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 78205 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. Texas Ethics Commission filings and San Antonio municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $11.8M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every downtown household spent.

A downtown ZIP often mixes hotel, office, and committee addresses with residences. That mix is why $11,756,516 should not be captioned as “San Antonio residents wrote checks for $11.8M.” The packet does not split the total by filer type. Named payees live on the hub.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $11,756,516. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Bexar County political score. The supported facts are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition. Nothing in the packet assigns $11.8M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

11,645 downtown rows, no donor roster

The extract lists 11,645 contributions for 78205. 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 downtown San Antonio filings. A mid-length file at $11.8M can still mix large committee transfers with smaller itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving.

A list of 11,645 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $11,756,516, 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 78205 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as a downtown political score.
