Line volume on ZIP 98119

53,918 itemizations is the distinctive count for 98119. $29,688,603 divided by 53,918 is about $551 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.

53,918 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 53,918 should be cited as itemizations tagged 98119 on FEC.gov.

What the 98119 field is not

ZIP 98119 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. $29,688,603 follows the filed string. Recoding 98119 into a city or a three-digit prefix is a different dataset.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $29,688,603. 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 $29,688,603 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 98119.
