Federal receipts that list ZIP 94618 total $17,007,832 across 79,034 contributions. The code covers Oakland’s Rockridge area; the FEC still treats it as a five-digit contributor ZIP on itemizations, not as a neighborhood poll. Data come from FEC.gov filings indexed on LobbyVault. This page states the two packet totals and the ZIP definition, then sends readers to the hub for rows.

Key figures

  • ZIP 94618 FEC itemizations total $17,007,832.
  • 79,034 contributions list 94618 as the contributor ZIP.
  • The row count is a receipt inventory, not a unique-donor total.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can be included in the ZIP total.

Dollar total filed under 94618

The $17,007,832 figure is a sum of itemized federal contributions tagged to 94618. It is not the City of Oakland’s campaign-finance portal and not Alameda County local filings. Money in this total can support federal committees anywhere. Unitemized gifts are absent by definition.

Seventy-nine thousand rows under a $17 million total is a dense pattern: many separate disclosed receipts rather than a handful of transfers. Density is still not a published unique-person count. It is a reason to expect the 94618 table to be long, with repeat names and modest itemized gifts likely mixed with larger lines.

Rockridge commercial strips can host committee mail next to retail. The $17,007,832 total does not map those storefronts. Seventy-nine thousand thirty-four itemizations will include whatever address the committee put in the ZIP box. A College Avenue PAC and a hillside household are equal in that box.

79,034 contributions as rows, not people

The extract counts 79,034 contributions for 94618. That is how many itemized lines share the ZIP. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide will not guess how many unique residents or workers sit behind the file. Earmarks, monthly gifts, and joint-fundraising splits all add rows.

At $17,007,832, a count of 79,034 is toward the high-volume end of this dollar band: a long receipt file rather than a short stack of transfers. Use that only as a row-count description. Do not convert it into a claim about civic enthusiasm; the FEC does not measure that.

Oakland municipal ethics filings are a separate universe. Do not add them to $17,007,832. Do not subtract them. This extract is FEC federal itemization only. The ZIP 94618 hub is the federal table. Caption it that way even when the search query was a city-council race.

Questions

What is the FEC contribution total for ZIP 94618?
Itemizations listing 94618 total $17,007,832 across 79,034 contributions. Both figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not Oakland municipal filings and not a unique-donor census of Rockridge. LobbyVault indexes those FEC.gov itemizations so $17,007,832 and 79,034 contributions can be checked on the ZIP 94618 hub without assembling committee reports by hand.
Does 79,034 contributions mean 79,034 donors?
No. The number counts itemized receipts. Repeat givers and earmarks add rows. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not publish one. Inspect names on the ZIP 94618 FEC page. This packet still does not include a distinct-donor total, so 79,034 remains a receipt count for ZIP 94618 even after the hub is open.
Are joint-fundraising addresses in the 94618 total?
They can be. FEC stores the five-digit ZIP on the contribution. PAC and joint-fundraising mail using 94618 can sit inside the $17,007,832 sum with residential receipts. Committee names on the hub identify those lines. Read committee names on the largest ZIP 94618 lines before treating $17,007,832 as household-only money; the five-digit field does not make that distinction by itself.
Where are ZIP 94618 itemizations?
On the ZIP 94618 FEC page. Compare codes on the all-ZIP index and search names in the donor directory. Original reports are on FEC.gov. Those three LobbyVault paths plus FEC.gov are the full working set for verifying $17,007,832 and 79,034 contributions tagged to ZIP 94618.

ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
