Key figures

  • ZIP 95070 FEC itemizations total $31,631,914 across 72,475 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $436.
  • The ZIP is the five-digit contributor field as filed, not a household census.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Line volume on ZIP 95070

72,475 itemizations is the distinctive count for 95070. $31,631,914 divided by 72,475 is about $436 per line. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median gift, not a typical household, and not evidence that every row is the same size.

72,475 is a contribution-line count, not a unique-person count. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and redesignations can add rows without adding new people. This packet does not publish a donor headcount, so 72,475 should be cited as itemizations tagged 95070 on FEC.gov.

What the 95070 field is not

ZIP 95070 on an FEC itemization is the contributor ZIP as typed on the report. It is not proof of legal residence, not a voter file, and not a map of who voted. $31,631,914 follows the filed string. Recoding 95070 into a city or a three-digit prefix is a different dataset.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $31,631,914. Non-federal campaigns that never file with the FEC never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP do not move this receipt total. Cite $31,631,914 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 95070.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 95070?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 95070 total $31,631,914 across 72,475 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 $31,631,914. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 95070?
LobbyVault counts 72,475 itemized contributions for ZIP 95070. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $31,631,914, a mean near $436.
Does a high contribution count mean ZIP 95070 has more unique donors?
Not from this packet. 72,475 is itemizations. Unique donors are not published here. A long list can come from repeat givers and small itemized gifts as easily as from many distinct people. Use named receipts on the ZIP 95070 FEC page if you need persons. Keep $31,631,914 as the dollar roll-up.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 95070 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $31,631,914 and 72,475 lines for ZIP 95070. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal campaigns are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $436 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

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