Fewer lines, a higher mean
$46,669,168 on 27,811 lines is a concentration pattern relative to ZIPs that carry similar dollars on 100,000 rows. A mean near $1,678 is a ratio, not a typical household gift. A research-park or campus-adjacent 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.
Twenty-seven thousand eight hundred eleven 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 $1,678 as what a 94304 donor typically gives. The typical line is not in this packet. The mean is arithmetic. No party split is published on this ZIP total.
A mean near $1,678 on 27,811 lines sits above many volume ZIPs with similar dollars. That placement is filing shape, not a lifestyle statistic. Keep $46,669,168 and 27,811 in the same sentence so a reader can redo the division.
The 94304 ZIP field versus a census
FEC contributor ZIPs are not geocoded to parcels. A committee that lists 94304 will post to this total if that is the ZIP on the form. Individuals who live elsewhere and use an office address can do the same. $46,669,168 is therefore not resident giving in 94304.
The 27,811-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.
Researchers comparing 94304 to volume ZIPs with similar dollars should keep both packet facts in the same sentence. $46,669,168 without 27,811 hides whether the total is a long list or a short list. 27,811 without $46,669,168 hides scale. FEC.gov published both.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 94304?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 94304 total $46,669,168 across 27,811 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 $1,678 follows from dividing those two packet facts.
- Why is the mean higher for ZIP 94304?
- 27,811 itemized lines against $46,669,168 produces a mean near $1,678. That arithmetic is a scale check, not a typical household gift. Large committee and joint-fundraising receipts posted to a 94304 mail ZIP can dominate the mean. The packet has no median and no unique-donor count. Cite both $46,669,168 and 27,811.
- Does ZIP 94304 include only residents?
- No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses can be part of $46,669,168 when 94304 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 27,811-line count follows the same rule.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 94304 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $46,669,168 and 27,811 lines for ZIP 94304. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, 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.
