Key figures

  • ZIP 90017 FEC itemizations total $20,267,463 across 18,364 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $1,104; the packet has no median or unique-donor count.
  • 90017 is a five-digit FEC contributor ZIP, not a resident roster.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Fewer downtown Los Angeles lines, a $1,104 mean

$20,267,463 on 18,364 itemizations is a thicker mean than a ZIP that reaches similar dollars with three times as many rows. Dividing the two packet facts yields about $1,104 per line. That average is filing shape. It does not prove a typical gift size for every payer, and it does not name the committees on the large rows.

Eighteen thousand three hundred sixty-four is still a large line count. It is not small enough to treat as a handful of mega-checks, and it is not a unique-donor census. Repeat itemizations can lengthen 18,364 without adding people. This packet has no donor headcount.

A four-figure mean on a downtown code often mixes office letterhead, firm itemizations, and residential towers. Sort the ZIP 90017 FEC page by amount to see the mix inside $20,267,463.

A commercial-residential ZIP on FEC forms

90017 covers downtown Los Angeles west of the Financial District fringe. A contributor who lists a tower, a firm, or a committee that files 90017 adds to $20,267,463 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving misstates the field.

The 18,364-line count includes memo entries and redesignations. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted. Los Angeles geography is orientation only. The legal field is the string 90017 as filed.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 90017?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 90017 total $20,267,463 across 18,364 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. The figure is a five-digit ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count. Unitemized gifts sit outside $20,267,463. The mean of about $1,104 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 90017?
LobbyVault counts 18,364 itemized contributions for ZIP 90017. That is a line count. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new people. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $20,267,463.
Is ZIP 90017 only downtown Los Angeles household giving?
No. The ZIP is the contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 90017 grid can be part of $20,267,463 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 18,364-line count follows the same rule.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 90017 totals?
From FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $20,267,463 and 18,364 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. California state filings and unitemized federal gifts are outside both numbers. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.

ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
