ZIP Code 89119

High dollars on a shorter line list

$48,865,323 on 16,729 lines is a concentration pattern relative to ZIPs that carry similar dollars on 100,000 rows. A mean near $2,921 is a ratio, not a typical household gift. A commercial or airport-adjacent mail ZIP can collect firm PACs, partnership addresses, and joint fundraising committees on the same five digits that also appear on individual Schedule A rows. FEC.gov does not label which of those categories produced the mean.

Sixteen thousand seven hundred twenty-nine itemizations is enough volume to be a real filing stream and small enough that a few large transfers still dominate the mean. Do not read $2,921 as what a 89119 donor typically gives. The typical line is not in this packet. The mean is arithmetic. No party split is published on this ZIP total.

Commercial mail ZIPs often show fewer lines and a higher mean than residential volume ZIPs with similar dollars. 16,729 against $48,865,323 is that pattern. It is not proof that people in 89119 give larger gifts. It is proof that the filed ZIP produced that pairing on FEC.gov.

The 89119 ZIP field versus a census

FEC contributor ZIPs are not geocoded to parcels. A committee that lists 89119 will post to this total if that is the ZIP on the form. Individuals who live elsewhere and use an office address can do the same. $48,865,323 is therefore not resident giving in 89119.

The 16,729-line count is an itemization count. Unique people are not totaled in this packet. Repeat gifts, reallocations, and memo items can inflate the line list without adding new contributors.

Commercial mail ZIPs like 89119 are easy to misread as resident books. FEC.gov stored the ZIP that was filed. $48,865,323 across 16,729 lines is what that field sums to in this aggregate. A mean near $2,921 follows from division. Unique donors are not in the packet.
