Key figures
- ZIP 94109 FEC itemizations total $47,897,660 across 104,514 contributions.

- The ZIP field can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
- Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.
One hundred four thousand receipts, a $458 mean
Divide $47,897,660 by 104,514 and the mean line is about $458. That average is a ratio. It is not a typical gift and it is not a median. A six-figure itemization list can mix ordinary individual rows with committee rows on the same five digits. FEC Schedule A stores whatever ZIP the filer put on the receipt. LobbyVault sums those rows.
One hundred four thousand five hundred fourteen itemized lines is enough volume that no single restatement is guaranteed to dominate the mean, and still small enough that large committee receipts can pull $47,897,660. The table can support that scale check. It cannot support a story about who lives in 94109 or why they gave.
A mean near $458 on 104,514 lines is a mid-band ratio on a volume ZIP. It does not prove a typical gift. FEC.gov did not publish a median for 94109. Keep $47,897,660 and 104,514 together so a reader can redo the division.
How FEC addressing works on 94109
Individual contribution files include a ZIP field taken from the contributor record. Committees and joint fundraising committees often use a business ZIP. When those entities appear as contributors or as the address on a transferred receipt, their ZIP is 94109 if that is what was filed. Treating $47,897,660 as what residents donated overstates a neighborhood and understates how FEC addressing works.
Unitemized gifts below the federal itemization threshold never enter this total. State and local filings never enter it. Independent expenditures paid by a committee with a different ZIP never enter it. The $47,897,660 figure is a ZIP roll-up of itemized federal receipts, sourced from FEC.gov.
On a ZIP with 104,514 lines, the temptation is to treat the count as a population. It is not. Repeat itemizations, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows. $47,897,660 remains the matching dollar total. Cite the pair, not a headcount the packet never published.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 94109?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 94109 total $47,897,660 across 104,514 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 it. The mean of about $458 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
- How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 94109?
- LobbyVault counts 104,514 itemized contributions for ZIP 94109. 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 $47,897,660.
- Does $47.9 million mean people who live in 94109 gave that much?
- The ZIP is the five-digit code on the FEC itemization. Joint fundraising and PAC addresses can appear in the same $47,897,660 total. 104,514 is a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Treating $47,897,660 as resident-only giving overstates a neighborhood and understates how FEC addressing works. Open the ZIP 94109 hub for named receipts.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 94109 totals?
- Figures come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $47,897,660 and 104,514 contributions for ZIP 94109. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are outside both numbers. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
