Key figures

  • ZIP 94306 FEC itemizations total $30,142,617 across 90,017 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $335.
  • The ZIP is the five-digit contributor field as filed, not a household census.

Line volume on ZIP 94306

90,017 itemizations is the distinctive count for 94306. $30,142,617 divided by 90,017 is about $335 per line. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median gift, not a typical household, and not evidence that every row is the same size.

90,017 is a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and redesignations can add rows without adding new people. This packet does not publish a donor headcount, so 90,017 should be cited as itemizations tagged 94306 on FEC.gov.

What the 94306 field is not

ZIP 94306 on an FEC itemization is the contributor ZIP as typed on the report. It is not proof of legal residence, not a voter file, and not a map of who voted. $30,142,617 follows the filed string. Recoding 94306 into a city or a three-digit prefix is a different dataset.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $30,142,617. Non-federal campaigns that never file with the FEC never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP do not move this receipt total. Cite $30,142,617 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 94306.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 94306?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 94306 total $30,142,617 across 90,017 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 $30,142,617. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 94306?
LobbyVault counts 90,017 itemized contributions for ZIP 94306. 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 $30,142,617, a mean near $335.
Does a high contribution count mean ZIP 94306 has more unique donors?
Not from this packet. 90,017 is itemizations. Unique donors are not published here. A long list can come from repeat givers and small itemized gifts as easily as from many distinct people. Use named receipts on the ZIP 94306 FEC page if you need persons. Keep $30,142,617 as the dollar roll-up.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 94306 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $30,142,617 and 90,017 lines for ZIP 94306. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal campaigns are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $335 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
