===Funding===
 +
The Sanders campaign is funded by donors in the wealthiest [[Zipcode]]s in the United States.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b-GvQTWzeE</ref>
 +
 +
Geographically, Bernie's top dollar zip code is 94110 in San Francisco. The average household income in this part of the Mission District, specifically the Inner Mission, the Bernal Heights area, is $166,302. The median home value is around $1.5 million and the median rent is almost $5,000 a month. The next top dollar zip code in San Francisco, 94117 or Haight-Ashbury where the average income is $201,503 and average home values top $1.6 million.
 +
 +
The Brooklyn zipcode of 11215 or Park Slope is the second biggest top dollar zip code of Bernie donors.  It’s a place where a three-bedroom apartment can go for $2.9 million.
 +
 +
In third place on Bernie’s donor list is 10025 or the Upper West Side of Manhattan. With an average rental price of $4,695 per month, it’s not exactly an inexpensive place to live. The UWS is the 8th richest neighborhood with a $190,281 mean household income.
 +
 +
11238 or Prospect Heights, in fourth place, is a newly gentrified neighborhood in Brooklyn where the median sales price passed $1 million, and you can expect to spend $800,000 for a one-bedroom co-op.
 +
 +
In fifth place is 98103, the Seattle neighborhood of Wallingford. With an average household income of $124,504, the University of Washington neighborhood with its $800,000 homes isn’t working class. Among the cheapest housing options is a $400,000 one-bedroom condo that’s a mere 757 square feet. The area is so expensive because it’s home to tech employees, including Microsoft engineers.  Microsoft employees are among Bernie’s top dollar donors.
 +
 +
And in seventh place is 90026. The Echo Park neighborhood in Los Angeles where the median price for housing is $813,000, and rents can hit $6,700 a month.
 +
 +
In eight place is the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago at zip code 60647. A condo will set you back over half a million dollars. The rush got so bad that a garage transformed into a home was going for $2.85 million.
 +
 +
Ninth and tenth on the list of Bernie’s money neighborhoods are two expensive Manhattan areas.  10003, Union Square and Greenwich Village in downtown Manhattan, is home to NYU where condos cost millions of dollars.  In tenth place is 10011 or Chelsea and the West Village of Manhattan. It’s also the single most expensive zip code in New York City. Not only is it the most expensive area in New York, but it’s the 23rd most expensive area in the country with a median sale price approaching $2 million. And with average monthly rents of over $4,000, it’s the 19th most expensive rental area in the entire United States. It’s also home to New York’s Silicon Alley, the city’s tech industry ghetto of dot com and fintech startups.<ref>https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/02/bernie-sanders-funded-wealthiest-zip-codes-america-daniel-greenfield/</ref>
