ZIP Code 94612

Downtown Oakland as a filing address

Thirty-four thousand twenty-five itemized lines add to $42,114,089. The mean is about $1,238 per receipt ($42,114,089 / 34,025). That is thicker than a high-volume residential East Bay mean. Downtown ZIPs often mix personal itemizations with committee letterhead. LobbyVault does not relabel those rows as non-residential; the ZIP field is whatever the committee reported.

If you treat $42,114,089 as what people who sleep in 94612 gave, you will overstate household giving. Money can be reported at a committee’s office even when original checks came through a pass-through. The FEC itemization ZIP follows the form. That is a feature of the disclosure system, not a LobbyVault choice.

Oakland is not a single ZIP. 94612 is one downtown code. Other Oakland codes have separate hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Do not fold 94612 into a homemade Alameda County total.

Why 34,025 lines still need a name check

Thirty-four thousand rows is few enough that the largest lines are inspectable. Sort the ZIP 94612 FEC page by amount. If a short list of payers accounts for most of $42,114,089, the ZIP is functioning as a committee address more than as a residential cluster. That is a reading of the table, not a motive claim.

Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 34,025 as contribution lines. Repeat itemizers and memo entries add rows without adding new residents.

Questions

What is the ZIP 94612 contribution total?

LobbyVault shows $42,114,089 across 34,025 FEC itemized contributions listing ZIP 94612, from FEC.gov. The mean is about $1,238 per receipt. That pairing often reflects a downtown mix of personal itemizations and committee addresses, not a dense residential donor list alone.

Is 94612 all of Oakland?

No. 94612 is a five-digit contributor ZIP used on downtown Oakland addresses. Other Oakland codes have separate FEC hubs. The $42,114,089 total on 34,025 receipts is a mailing-code sum. Do not treat it as a citywide Oakland census. Read payer names on the hub table.

How many unique donors are in 94612?

This packet does not include a unique-donor count. It reports 34,025 contribution lines and $42,114,089. One committee can generate transfers that dwarf personal itemizations. Use the donor directory for name-level rows. Treat 34,025 as receipts, not as people who live downtown.

Where are the 94612 receipts listed?

On the ZIP 94612 FEC page, which holds the 34,025-row table behind $42,114,089. Compare other codes on the all-ZIP index, remembering that downtown and residential ZIPs are not like-for-like. The donor directory is the person-level table. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
