Data were downloaded from FF2 for all Kansas counties and school districts. FF2 puts the data for both types of geography together in one set of FactFinder "DEC" files. See more about the FF2 "DEC" CSV files in Creating M2 Datasets section.
File>Open is used to open the Kansas M2 dataset (c:\m2\ks_sd_cty.dbf).
The dataset opens, ready to select areas and view/analyze data.

Examining School Service Area using M2 with Census Tract Demographics
Shawnee Mission school district (green fill pattern) in context of Kansas City MSA (bold brown boundary)
Zoom-in view of Shawnee Mission School District. See pointer and location of Shawanoe El School near/on boundaries of tracts 520.03 and 524.18. |
Shawanoe El School near/on boundaries of tracts 520.03 and 524.18. The following M2 Grid2 shows total population single year of age characteristics of these two tracts and their aggregate. While this geography is not intended to exactly match the exact school attendance zone, it illustrates how these resources can be used to analyze detailed age patterns in small area where a school is located. This example only uses two tracts; an unlimited number can be used. This is a partial view ... single year of age continues to 100+. See Grid2 age groups view in the Kansas school district views below.
Total population, age 1 as of Census 2010, was 182 for the sum of both tracts (see pointer). 59 of these children were Hispanic. See separate Hispanic population Grid1 view below. |
