Key figures

  • ZIP 94028 FEC itemizations total $69,476,168 across 62,540 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $1,111; the packet has no median or unique-donor count.

Mid-volume dollars at $69,476,168

$69,476,168 on 62,540 lines produces a mean of about $1,111. That figure sits between high-volume West Coast ZIPs with sub-$700 means and concentration files with five-figure means. It remains a ratio of two FEC counts. The packet publishes no median and no unique-donor figure.

Sixty-two thousand five hundred forty itemizations is enough volume that large and modest rows can hide in the same sum. This aggregate does not split them. Quote $69,476,168 with 62,540 lines, not the dollar total alone.

LobbyVault does not score 94028 as a Silicon Valley wealth index. Occupation and employer fields are other pages. This file is a ZIP roll-up.

Portola Valley’s five-digit key is 94028 on every row inside $69,476,168. Cite 62,540 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted.

Contributor ZIP, not a town census

A filer who puts 94028 on an itemized receipt adds that row to both totals. Work addresses, residential addresses, and committee mail can share the code. The accurate label is federal itemized receipts tagged 94028.

Repeat contributors add rows. Redesignations can add rows. Without a unique-donor field, 62,540 is a contribution-line total. This page does not guess how many people sit behind it.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 94028?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 94028 total $69,476,168 across 62,540 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 Portola Valley residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $1,111 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 94028?
LobbyVault counts 62,540 itemized contributions for ZIP 94028. 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 $69,476,168.
Does ZIP 94028 include only Portola Valley residents?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 94028 grid can be part of $69,476,168 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 62,540-line count follows the same rule.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 94028 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $69,476,168 and 62,540 lines for ZIP 94028. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. California state 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.
