A high-volume ZIP, not a high-mean ZIP
$51,094,560 on 206,771 lines produces a mean near $247. That ratio is arithmetic, not a typical household gift and not a median. A long list of modest itemizations can add to the same total that a short list of large committee rows would produce elsewhere. FEC.gov stored the ZIP that was filed. LobbyVault summed it. The packet publishes two facts: dollars and contribution count.
Two hundred six thousand seven hundred seventy-one itemizations puts 94611 among volume ZIPs in this extract. Sorting the ZIP hub by dollars places 94611 near other $51 million codes. Sorting by line count places it far higher. Both sorts are the same public file. Do not treat the longer list as proof of broader participation; treat it as more disclosed rows.
Volume ZIPs attract a different error than concentration ZIPs. Searchers see 206,771 and hear a crowd. The file records itemized lines. Repeat gifts and memo entries can sit inside 206,771. $51,094,560 is still the matching dollar total on the same extract. Quote both.
The 94611 field versus a neighborhood census
USPS 94611 is a five-digit mail code. FEC contributor ZIPs are not geocoded to parcels. A committee that lists 94611 will post to this total if that is the ZIP on the form. Individuals who use a home or office address with the same digits can do the same. $51,094,560 is therefore not resident giving in 94611.
The 206,771-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.
On a ZIP with 206,771 lines, the temptation is to treat the count as a population. It is not. Repeat itemizations, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows. $51,094,560 remains the matching dollar total. Cite the pair, not a headcount the packet never published.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 94611?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 94611 total $51,094,560 across 206,771 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 $247 follows from dividing those two packet facts.
- Why does ZIP 94611 have so many contributions?
- LobbyVault counts 206,771 itemized contributions for ZIP 94611. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $51,094,560, which yields a mean near $247.
- Does ZIP 94611 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 $51,094,560 when 94611 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 206,771-line count follows the same rule.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 94611 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $51,094,560 and 206,771 lines for ZIP 94611. 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.
