Key figures

  • ZIP 92101 FEC itemizations total $19,459,700 on 98,961 receipts.
  • Mean itemized amount is about $197.
  • 92101 is downtown San Diego, not a citywide total.

Downtown volume on 98,961 federal lines

Ninety-eight thousand nine hundred sixty-one itemized receipts add to $19,459,700. The mean is about $197 per line ($19,459,700 / 98,961). That pairing is a dense downtown pattern: a very long receipt list, a sub-$200 mean, eight-figure dollars. A mean in that band usually means many modest itemizations; a few large checks still sit in the tail but get diluted.

Sort the ZIP 92101 FEC page by amount to inspect the tail. The $197 mean can look small even if a few transfers are large, because 98,961 lines dilute them. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 98,961 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of downtown San Diego.

San Diego is not a single ZIP. 92101 is the core downtown code. La Jolla, Coronado, and other city tags have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 92101 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.

What 92101 is not

The aggregate is not a California FPPC total and not a City of San Diego 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 $19,459,700. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a California race. Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally them. A Navy-or-tourism story that cites $19,459,700 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 92101 itemize in federal contributions?
LobbyVault's ZIP aggregate shows $19,459,700 across 98,961 FEC contributions listing 92101, sourced from FEC.gov. The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP on each receipt. The mean is about $197 per line, which is not a unique-donor average.
Why is the 92101 average so low?
Dividing $19,459,700 by 98,961 receipts yields about $197 per line. A very long receipt list pulls the mean down even when large rows sit in the tail. That is a mean, not a median, and not a unique-donor average. Sort the hub table by amount.
Does 92101 cover all of San Diego?
92101 is downtown San Diego. La Jolla, Coronado, and other city ZIPs have separate FEC hubs with their own dollar totals. Compare them on the all-ZIP index. The $19,459,700 figure is only the itemizations labeled 92101. This packet reports the dollar total and the contribution count only, with no unique-donor field.
Where can I see 92101 receipts?
On the ZIP 92101 FEC page, which lists the table behind $19,459,700 and 98,961 receipts. Rank other mailing codes on the all-ZIP index. Use the donor directory for person-level records. LobbyVault's 92101 packet reports the dollar total and the contribution count only.
