Key figures

  • ZIP 90401 FEC itemizations total $16,142,168 across 19,192 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $841; the packet has no median or unique-donor count.
  • 90401 is a five-digit FEC contributor ZIP, not a resident-only census.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Fewer lines, still $16,142,168

FEC.gov itemizations tagged 90401 add to $16,142,168. The matching line count is 19,192. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $841 per itemization. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median, not a typical Santa Monica household gift, and not evidence that one committee dominates the ZIP. A single restated Schedule A can move both the dollar total and the line count in the same extract.

Nineteen thousand one hundred ninety-two rows is a thinner file than many ZIPs near $16 million that need 40,000-plus lines to reach a similar dollar total. A list of 19,192 rows can still mix large transfers with small itemized gifts. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving, and a mean near $841 does not prove a single payer. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share the same five digits.

No party share is attached to $16,142,168. Keep 90401 as a geographic key on the contributor record. LobbyVault does not recode the field into the Santa Monica core political score. Readers who want named payees should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the mean.

Pier-adjacent mail versus household giving

90401 covers a compact downtown and pier-adjacent slice of Santa Monica. A contributor who lists a Santa Monica address, or a committee that files 90401, adds to $16,142,168 when that ZIP is on the itemization. The accurate description is tagged federal receipts, not β€œwhat Santa Monica residents gave.”

The packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 19,192 as a line count. Repeat gifts add rows. Memo entries add rows. This guide does not convert lines into people. California state filings never enter the federal ZIP total.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 90401?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 90401 total $16,142,168 across 19,192 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Santa Monica residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 90401?
LobbyVault counts 19,192 itemized contributions for ZIP 90401. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $16,142,168.
Does ZIP 90401 include only Santa Monica residents?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in Santa Monica can be part of $16,142,168 when 90401 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 19,192-line count follows the same rule.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 90401 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $16,142,168 and 19,192 lines for ZIP 90401. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. California Fair Political Practices Commission filings are outside both figures. 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.
