Adams Point volume on 92,730 federal lines

Ninety-two thousand seven hundred thirty itemized receipts add to $19,129,211. The mean is about $206 per line ($19,129,211 / 92,730). That pairing is a dense East Bay neighborhood pattern: a very long receipt list, a low-two-hundreds mean, eight-figure dollars. A mean in that band usually means many modest itemizations; large checks still sit in the tail but get diluted.

Sort the ZIP 94610 FEC page by amount to inspect the tail. The $206 mean can look small even if a few transfers are large, because 92,730 lines dilute them. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 92,730 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of Adams Point.

Oakland is not a single ZIP. 94610 is the lake-adjacent code. 94611, 94612, and Piedmont tags have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 94610 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.

What 94610 is not

The aggregate is not a California FPPC total and not a City of Oakland campaign report. It is federal itemizations from FEC.gov. It is also not a party index. FEC schedules do not score ZIP codes by ideology, and this packet does not invent one.

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $19,129,211. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a California race. Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally them. A Lake Merritt story that cites $19,129,211 without opening those strings is using a ZIP total as a substitute for an employer table it does not have.

Questions

How much did ZIP 94610 itemize in federal contributions?
LobbyVault's ZIP aggregate shows $19,129,211 across 92,730 FEC contributions listing 94610, sourced from FEC.gov. The five-digit field is the contributor ZIP on each receipt. The mean is about $206 per line, which is not a unique-donor average.
Why is the 94610 average so low?
Dividing $19,129,211 by 92,730 receipts yields about $206 per line. A very long receipt list pulls the mean down even when large rows sit in the tail. That is a mean, not a median, and not a unique-donor average. Sort the hub table by amount.

The $19,129,211 figure is only the itemizations labeled 94610. This packet reports the dollar total and the contribution count only, with no unique-donor field.
