Key figures

  • ZIP 85016 FEC itemizations total $23,736,653 on 49,835 receipts.
  • Mean itemized amount is about $476.
  • The total is federal FEC itemizations, not Arizona state filings.
  • Unique donor counts are not in this packet.

Biltmore-corridor receipts, not a citywide ledger

Forty-nine thousand eight hundred thirty-five itemized receipts add to $23,736,653. Dividing those two packet facts yields about $476 per line. Phoenix search traffic often treats any eight-figure ZIP as a stand-in for the whole metro. 85016 is one Camelback-area code. Scottsdale, Arcadia, and downtown hubs sit on other five-digit tags. Rank those hubs on the all-ZIP index instead of adding them by hand to $23,736,653.

Open the ZIP 85016 FEC page and sort by amount. A $476 mean can sit on a file that still contains a few large committee transfers; 49,835 rows dilute them. This packet has no unique-donor count. Quote 49,835 as itemized lines on FEC.gov reports, not as Biltmore residents.

Arizona’s desert grid puts offices, hotels, and homes on the same five digits. The contributor ZIP field does not say which of those the filer used. $23,736,653 is the tagged sum. Camelback-corridor hotels make 85016 look like a visitor ZIP. The FEC field does not say visitor versus resident. $23,736,653 across 49,835 receipts is the tagged sum. Treat it as a reporting-address rollup. The ZIP 85016 FEC page is where names appear. This copy will not invent a tourism-industry subtotal.

Secretary of State filings sit elsewhere

Arizona Secretary of State campaign-finance reports for state office are not inside $23,736,653. Maricopa County local filings are not inside it either. A combined Phoenix figure that mixes those databases with FEC.gov is not a packet fact.

Hospital, hotel, and professional-services employer names appear on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not group them. Citing $23,736,653 as a Biltmore-industry total substitutes a mailing code for an employer table this packet does not contain. Camelback’s hotels and the Biltmore office strip share 85016 with residential pockets. Forty-nine thousand eight hundred thirty-five receipts can include all of those. $23,736,653 is the tagged sum. The ZIP 85016 FEC page is the place to see whether large rows are committee names. Scottsdale and Arcadia codes are not inside this total. Adding them invents an east-Phoenix figure. The all-ZIP index is the comparison surface. This packet cites $23,736,653 and 49,835 only.
