Itemized federal contributions that list ZIP 92614 add up to $17,128,835 across 28,744 contributions. The source is FEC.gov filings indexed on LobbyVault. Twenty-eight thousand receipts is a thinner file than several other $17 million codes among high-dollar FEC ZIPs, which makes committee-level review more important, not less.

Scale of the 92614 dollar total
The $17,128,835 figure is a sum of disclosed receipts tagged to 92614, an Irvine-area five-digit code. It is not Orange County election spending as a whole, and it is not a measure of local ballot measures, which generally sit outside FEC federal files. Federal candidates and committees anywhere in the country can receive money from a contributor ZIP of 92614.
Because the itemization threshold excludes small gifts, the true cash that moved from people connected to the code is not fully visible. What is visible is every line that committees chose to itemize with this ZIP. Quote the $17,128,835 total as a disclosure aggregate, then read the table for composition.
Irvine office geography means 92614 can be a business ZIP as easily as a home ZIP. The $17,128,835 total does not say which. Twenty-eight thousand seven hundred forty-four itemizations are enough to hide both patterns until sorted. A first pass that only quotes the dollars will look identical to a household-heavy code at the same scale. The second pass on the hub is the one that matters.
28,744 contributions and what that density implies
The extract lists 28,744 contributions for 92614. At a $17,128,835 total, that is a thinner receipt file than several other high-dollar ZIPs in the same FEC extract. Fewer rows at this dollar scale often means larger individual lines—but this page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. It will say only that 92614 is less row-heavy than many peers at similar disclosed volume.
The 28,744 count is still not a unique-donor total. This packet does not include one. Repeat itemizations, earmarks, and joint-fundraising splits remain possible. A thinner file simply makes it faster to scan the largest receipts on the 92614 hub and see whether PACs or individuals dominate.

Questions
- What is the FEC total for ZIP 92614?
- Itemizations listing 92614 as the contributor ZIP total $17,128,835. The extract counts 28,744 contributions with that five-digit code. Both numbers are FEC disclosure aggregates indexed on LobbyVault, not a unique-donor census of the Irvine-area ZIP. LobbyVault indexes those FEC.gov itemizations so $17,128,835 and 28,744 contributions can be checked on the ZIP 92614 hub without assembling committee reports by hand.
- Why are there only 28,744 contributions at this dollar total?
- The 28,744 figure is the itemized row count for 92614. Similar dollar totals elsewhere at similar disclosed dollars sit on many more rows. That difference is a clue to mix, not a published average gift. This packet also does not include a distinct-donor total, so the count should not be read as 28,744 people.
- Are PAC addresses included in ZIP 92614?
- They can be. FEC stores the five-digit ZIP on the contribution. Joint-fundraising committees and PAC mail using 92614 can sit inside the $17,128,835 sum. Check committee names on the ZIP 92614 FEC page before treating the total as household gifts only.
- Where can I see 92614 itemizations?
- On the ZIP 92614 FEC page. Compare codes on the all-ZIP index and search names in the donor directory. Original filings are on FEC.gov. Those three LobbyVault paths plus FEC.gov are the full working set for verifying $17,128,835 and 28,744 contributions tagged to ZIP 92614.
ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
