ZIP Code 94708

North Berkeley volume on 92,847 federal lines

Ninety-two thousand eight hundred forty-seven itemized receipts add to $19,336,701. The mean is about $208 per line ($19,336,701 / 92,847). That pairing is a dense East Bay hills 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 94708 FEC page by amount to inspect the tail. The $208 mean can look small even if a few transfers are large, because 92,847 lines dilute them. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 92,847 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of the Berkeley Hills.

Berkeley is not a single ZIP. 94708 is the north hills code. 94704, 94705, 94707, and Oakland tags have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 94708 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.

What 94708 is not

The aggregate is not a California FPPC total and not a City of Berkeley 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 $19,336,701. 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 campus story that cites $19,336,701 without opening those strings is using a ZIP total as a substitute for an employer table it does not have. 94708 is hills residential, not the campus core.

Why is the 94708 average so low?
