ZIP Code 90049

Reading the $111.1 million Brentwood ZIP total

One hundred sixty-nine thousand one hundred two itemized lines add to $111,112,302. That is a large ZIP total even among high-dollar California codes. Each line is a reported federal contribution or related schedule entry with ZIP 90049. LobbyVault does not re-rate the filer’s coding; it sums what committees already sent to the FEC. If a treasurer typed 90049, the dollars sit in this hub.

Brentwood’s residential streets explain why searchers look up 90049, but the public record is an address field, not a property map. A film-industry donor, a law-firm PAC, and a joint-fundraising committee can all print 90049. The dollar total does not tell you which mix produced it until you open the receipts and read the contributor names.

California Westside ZIPs are often compared with one another in news stories about Hollywood money. Those stories only hold if the writer stays with the FEC ZIP field. $111,112,302 is the labeled sum for 90049, not a Los Angeles citywide figure and not a studio-by-studio report. Adjacent codes such as other Westside ZIPs have their own hubs and should not be folded into this total by hand.

Receipt volume versus dollars in 90049

$111,112,302 divided by 169,102 receipts yields a mean of about $657. The mean sits above a typical small-dollar ZIP and below ZIPs dominated by a handful of mega-transfers. Expect a blend: many mid-size individual itemizations plus occasional large committee lines. The mean is not a median; a few very large rows can pull it up while most lines stay smaller.

Because the packet has no unique-donor figure, you cannot convert 169,102 into people. Repeat givers, bundled events, and memo entries inflate receipt counts. If a handful of lines account for a visible share of $111,112,302, that will show up when you sort the ZIP 90049 FEC page by amount. That sort is the fastest way to see whether the ZIP behaves like a residential cluster or like a committee mail drop with extra household rows attached.

Questions

What is the FEC donation total for ZIP 90049?

Itemizations listing contributor ZIP 90049 sum to $111,112,302 across 169,102 contributions in LobbyVault’s aggregate. The source is FEC.gov committee reports. The total is a mailing-code sum and can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses in addition to individual filers who used a Brentwood ZIP.

Is $111.1 million only from Brentwood residents?

Not necessarily. ZIP 90049 is the five-digit code on the FEC itemization. Los Angeles’s Brentwood area uses that code, but committees can report the same ZIP. Read the contributor name and street on large lines if you need to separate a household from a PAC or joint-fundraising account.

What is the average contribution in 90049?

Dividing $111,112,302 by 169,102 itemized receipts produces a mean of about $657. That figure mixes small and large lines and is not a median. It is also not a per-person average, because this packet does not include a unique-donor count.

How should I compare 90049 with other California ZIPs?

Use the all-ZIP index, which applies the same FEC itemization rules to every five-digit code. Compare dollars and receipt counts, then open each ZIP hub for the underlying table. Do not infer turnout or party preference from a ZIP total; those fields are not in this packet.
