Key figures

  • ZIP 92651 FEC itemizations total $31,063,373 across 78,471 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $396.
  • The ZIP is the five-digit contributor field as filed, not a household census.

Line volume on ZIP 92651

78,471 itemizations is the distinctive count for 92651. $31,063,373 divided by 78,471 is about $396 per line. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median gift, not a typical household, and not evidence that every row is the same size.

78,471 is a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and redesignations can add rows without adding new people. This packet does not publish a donor headcount, so 78,471 should be cited as itemizations tagged 92651 on FEC.gov.

What the 92651 field is not

ZIP 92651 on an FEC itemization is the contributor ZIP as typed on the report. It is not proof of legal residence, not a voter file, and not a map of who voted. $31,063,373 follows the filed string. Recoding 92651 into a city or a three-digit prefix is a different dataset.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $31,063,373. Non-federal campaigns that never file with the FEC never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP do not move this receipt total. Cite $31,063,373 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 92651.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 92651?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 92651 total $31,063,373 across 78,471 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count. Unitemized gifts sit outside $31,063,373. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 92651?
LobbyVault counts 78,471 itemized contributions for ZIP 92651. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $31,063,373, a mean near $396.
Does a high contribution count mean ZIP 92651 has more unique donors?
Not from this packet. 78,471 is itemizations. Unique donors are not published here. A long list can come from repeat givers and small itemized gifts as easily as from many distinct people. Use named receipts on the ZIP 92651 FEC page if you need persons. Keep $31,063,373 as the dollar roll-up.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 92651 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $31,063,373 and 78,471 lines for ZIP 92651. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal campaigns are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $396 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
