A long San Francisco line list

$36,281,129 divided by 110,623 is about $328 per itemized line. Among San Francisco ZIPs, 94117 is a volume code: more lines than many downtown office ZIPs, a lower mean. That does not prove every line is small. Large committee itemizations can still sit inside $36,281,129. They are diluted in the average by 110,623 lines.

One hundred ten thousand six hundred twenty-three contributions is an itemization count, not a unique-person count. Repeat givers and household pairs can lengthen the list. This packet has no donor headcount. Cite 110,623 as a contribution-line total, not a census of the Haight or Cole Valley.

No party split is published on $36,281,129. Neighborhood geography is orientation. It is not an FEC finding about San Francisco ideology. The Commission stores a ZIP string.

94117 is not a citywide San Francisco total

The Haight, Cole Valley, and neighboring west-of-downtown streets are one contributor ZIP. Adding 94117 to Pacific Heights or Financial District codes is a recode. FEC.gov did not publish a combined city figure on this table. A committee that lists a 94117 address adds only to this total when that ZIP is filed.

Household rows and committee rows share the 110,623-line count. Open the ZIP 94117 FEC page for named receipts rather than inferring the mix from the $328 mean.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 94117?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 94117 total $36,281,129 across 110,623 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 the Haight or Cole Valley. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 94117?
LobbyVault counts 110,623 itemized contributions for ZIP 94117. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $36,281,129.
Does 94117 cover all of San Francisco?
No. 94117 is one five-digit code used in the Haight, Cole Valley, and Inner Sunset edge. Other San Francisco ZIPs have separate FEC hubs with their own dollar totals. Compare them on the all-ZIP index. The $36,281,129 figure is only the itemizations labeled 94117.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 94117 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $36,281,129 and 110,623 lines for ZIP 94117. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $328 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.
