How much did ZIP 78705 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 78705 total $11,233,203 across 17,045 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of West Campus Austin and not the Texas Ethics Commission campaign totals.

Does 17,045 contributions mean 17,045 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 78705 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 78705 include Texas state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Texas Ethics Commission filings sit outside $11,233,203. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 78705 FEC page for the federal table. Named payees live on that hub. The packet facts stop at $11,233,203 and 17,045 contributions. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP 78705 FEC page, not in this summary.

Where can I see 78705 itemizations?

On the ZIP 78705 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: $11,233,203, 17,045 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

Unique Donors

FEC.gov itemizations that carry ZIP 78705 total $11.2M on 17,045 contribution lines. The code is the contributor ZIP on FEC.gov receipts for West Campus / University of Texas–adjacent Austin mail, not a Texas Ethics Commission local file. Seventeen thousand lines at this dollar scale is a thinner mid-length file among $11 million ZIPs. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault.

West Campus $11,233,203 on 78705

$11,233,203 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 78705 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 $11.2M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in West Campus Austin spent.

Seventeen thousand forty-five rows sits on the thinner-mid side of $11 million ZIP files. Guadalupe Street, West Campus houses, and university-adjacent mail can share 78705 with committee addresses. Thinner-mid files often make large committee lines easier to spot when sorted by amount. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 78705. Travis County geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $11,233,203. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Travis County 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 $11.2M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

17,045 contributions without a donor roster

The extract lists 17,045 contributions for 78705. 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 West Campus Austin filings. A mid-length file at $11.2M can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

A list of 17,045 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $11,233,203, 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 78705 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as a West Campus Austin political score.
