Key figures

  • ZIP 94104 FEC itemizations total $683,549,187 across 34,442 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $19,850; no median is in this aggregate.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can be part of the ZIP total.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

High dollars, a mid-size line list

$683,549,187 on 34,442 lines is a concentration pattern, not a mass-small-dollar pattern. A financial-district mail ZIP can collect firm PACs, partnership addresses, and joint fundraising committees on the same five digits that also appear on individual Schedule A rows. FEC.gov does not label which of those categories produced the mean. LobbyVault reports the sum and the count.

Thirty-four thousand four hundred forty-two itemizations is enough volume to be a real filing stream and small enough that a few large transfers still dominate the mean. Do not read $19,850 as “what a 94104 donor typically gives.” The typical line is not in this packet. The mean is arithmetic.

No party split is published on this ZIP total. Employer and occupation strings live on other LobbyVault views. 94104 is a geographic key, not a sector score for San Francisco finance.

The 94104 ZIP field versus a neighborhood census

USPS 94104 covers a small slice of downtown San Francisco. FEC contributor ZIPs are not geocoded to parcels. A committee that lists a Montgomery Street or California Street address will post 94104 if that is the ZIP on the form. Individuals who live elsewhere and use an office address can do the same. $683,549,187 is therefore not “resident giving in 94104.”

The 34,442-line count is an itemization count. Unique people are not totaled in this packet. Repeat gifts, reallocations, and memo items can inflate the line list without adding new contributors.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 94104?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 94104 total $683,549,187 across 34,442 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in San Francisco’s financial district. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $683,549,187 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 94104?
LobbyVault counts 34,442 itemized contributions for ZIP 94104. 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, so 34,442 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $683,549,187.
Does ZIP 94104 include only residents of San Francisco’s financial district?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in San Francisco’s financial district can be part of $683,549,187 when 94104 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 34,442-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 94104 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $683,549,187 and 34,442 lines for ZIP 94104. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from San Francisco’s financial district are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $19,850 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
