Lafayette volume: 66,243 itemizations

$25,271,138 divided by 66,243 is about $381 per itemized line. Contra Costa codes in this dollar band often show tens of thousands of rows rather than a handful of large transfers. The average is a ratio, not a median, and not a typical Lafayette household check.

Sixty-six thousand two hundred forty-three itemizations is a long receipt list. Repeat gifts and bundled events add rows. 66,243 is not a headcount of people who live near the BART station or along Mount Diablo Boulevard.

The packet attaches no party share to $25,271,138 and no unique-donor field. Employer strings sit on other LobbyVault views. 94549 is a geographic key on the contributor record. Cite 66,243 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted.

Five digits on a Contra Costa itemization

94549 is Lafayette’s five-digit key. A contributor who lists a residential street, a downtown office, or a committee that files 94549 adds to $25,271,138 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving misstates the field.

The 66,243-line count includes memo entries and redesignations. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted. East Bay geography is orientation only.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 94549?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 94549 total $25,271,138 across 66,243 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Lafayette residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $381 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 94549?
LobbyVault counts 66,243 itemized contributions for ZIP 94549. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. Those rows are itemized Schedule A lines, not people. The matching dollar total is $25,271,138.
Does ZIP 94549 include only Lafayette residents?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 94549 grid can be part of $25,271,138 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 66,243-line count follows the same rule.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 94549 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $25,271,138 and 66,243 lines for ZIP 94549. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. California state filings are outside both figures. LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system. If a later extract disagrees, 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.
