- ZIP 85255 FEC itemizations total $36,193,632 on 90,107 receipts.

North Scottsdale volume on 90,107 lines
Ninety thousand one hundred seven itemized receipts add to $36,193,632. The mean is about $402 per line ($36,193,632 / 90,107). That pairing is a high-volume desert-suburb pattern: many receipts, a few-hundred-dollar mean, eight-figure dollars. A mean in that band usually means many modest itemizations with a thinner tail of larger checks.
Sort the ZIP 85255 FEC page by amount to inspect the tail. The mean can look ordinary even if a few transfers are large, because 90,107 lines dilute them. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 90,107 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of north Scottsdale.
Scottsdale is not a single ZIP. 85255 is one north-foothills code. Other Scottsdale and Phoenix codes have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 85255 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.
What $36,193,632 leaves out
The aggregate is not an Arizona Secretary of State campaign total and not a city of Scottsdale campaign report. It is federal itemizations from FEC.gov. It is also not a party index. FEC schedules do not score ZIP codes by ideology, and this packet does not invent one.
Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $36,193,632. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention an Arizona race. Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally them. A retirement-or-real-estate story that cites $36,193,632 without opening those strings is using a ZIP total as a substitute for an employer table it does not have.

Questions
- How much did ZIP 85255 itemize in federal contributions?
- LobbyVault’s ZIP aggregate shows $36,193,632 across 90,107 FEC contributions listing 85255, sourced from FEC.gov. The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP on each receipt. The mean is about $402 per line, which is not a unique-donor average.
- What is the average 85255 contribution?
- Dividing $36,193,632 by 90,107 receipts yields about $402 per line. That is a mean, not a median, and not a per-person average. This packet does not include a unique-donor count, so the receipt total should not be read as a headcount of north Scottsdale residents.
- Does 85255 cover all of Scottsdale?
- No. 85255 is one five-digit code used in north Scottsdale. Other Scottsdale ZIPs have separate FEC hubs with their own dollar totals. Compare them on the all-ZIP index. The $36,193,632 figure is only the itemizations labeled 85255.

- On the ZIP 85255 FEC page, which lists the table behind $36,193,632 and 90,107 receipts. Rank other mailing codes on the all-ZIP index. Use the donor directory for person-level records. LobbyVault’s 85255 packet reports the dollar total and the contribution count only.
