Key figures

  • ZIP 97219 FEC itemizations total $15,179,900 across 68,336 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $222; the packet has no median or unique-donor count.
  • 97219 is a five-digit FEC contributor ZIP, not a resident-only census.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

High line count at $15,179,900

FEC.gov itemizations tagged 97219 add to $15,179,900. The matching line count is 68,336. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $222 per itemization. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median, not a typical southwest Portland household gift, and not evidence that one committee dominates the ZIP. Southwest Portland ZIPs often show high line counts relative to downtown office codes at similar dollars.

Sixty-eight thousand three hundred thirty-six itemizations is a high-volume file relative to several $15 million ZIPs that clear similar dollars with fewer than 20,000 rows. A list of 68,336 rows can still mix large transfers with small itemized gifts. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving, and a mean near $222 does not prove a single payer. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share the same five digits.

No party share is attached to $15,179,900. Keep 97219 as a geographic key on the contributor record. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a Hillsdale and Multnomah southwest political score. Readers who want named payees should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the mean.

Southwest Portland mail is not a resident census

97219 covers a southwest Portland slice that includes Hillsdale-adjacent mail. A contributor who lists a southwest Portland address, or a committee that files 97219, adds to $15,179,900 when that ZIP is on the itemization. The accurate description is tagged federal receipts, not β€œwhat southwest Portland residents gave.”

The packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 68,336 as a line count. Repeat gifts add rows. Memo entries add rows. This guide does not convert lines into people. Oregon state filings never enter the federal ZIP total.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 97219?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 97219 total $15,179,900 across 68,336 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of southwest Portland residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 97219?
LobbyVault counts 68,336 itemized contributions for ZIP 97219. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $15,179,900.
Does ZIP 97219 include only Portland residents?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in southwest Portland can be part of $15,179,900 when 97219 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 68,336-line count follows the same rule.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 97219 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $15,179,900 and 68,336 lines for ZIP 97219. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Oregon Secretary of State Elections Division filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, 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.
