School District Data Analytics -- 2015 General Demographics; Largest 1,016 School Districts
September 2016. The importance of understanding the demographic-economic make-up and trends for school districts can hardly be overstated. Community and educational challenges and opportunities are shaped by demographic-economic dynamics. Only by knowing "where we are" can we develop the most effective plans for improvement. This section is focused on tools, resources and methods that you can use to access, integrate and analyze school district general demographics. • Go to interactive table below in this section. The U.S. national scope ACS 2015 (released September 2016) School District Demographic-Economic Dataset contains approximately 600 subject matter items tabulated for each of the largest 1,016 school districts organized into four subject matter groups: • General Demographics -- this section (see similar ACS 2014 data) • Social Characteristics • Economic Characteristics • Housing Characteristics The largest school districts are those that have total population of 65,000 or more. See related tables for this same set of districts and data source: • Public & Private Enrollment by Grade Range These data provide information and insights not available by examining data on students and schools alone -- or any other data. See more about the importance of these data. Data reviewed in this section are based on the American Community Survey (ACS) 2015 1-year estimates for school districts defined as of the 2013-14 school year. See notes on importance of these data. See similar ranking tables for: Census Tracts | ZIP Codes | State, Metro & County. Largest School Districts 2015 This view shows school districts (red markers) having ACS 2015 population 65,000 or more. Click graphic for larger view. Expand browser window for best quality view. Larger view shows metros (MSAs) with semi-transparent fill pattern. See district locations in context of metros. Use related GIS project to examine patterns and gain insights into school district patterns using geospatial data analytics tools. View school districts as areas in context of other geography and your data. Zoom-in for regional views; label geography with names or attributes.  - View developed using CV XE GIS and related GIS project. Using the Interactive Table Use the interactive table below to view, query, rank, compare general demographics of the population, households and families for these areas. The scroll box shown below lists each of the subject matter items available for each area via the ranking table. In the subject matter items scrollbox, subject matter items are organized into to mini-tables with related items. The number at the left of the subject matter item is also used as the short name for the subject matter item in the column header in the ranking table. General Demographics Items

Importance of School District Demographic-Economic Data The American Community Survey provides "richer" demographic-economic characteristics for national scope school districts. While Census 2010 provides data similar to those items in the General Demographics section, only ACS sourced data provide details on topics such as income and poverty, labor force and employment, housing value and costs, educational participation and attainment, language spoken at home, among many related items. The approximate 600 items accessible via the dataset are supplemented by a wide range of additional subject matter. ACS school district data are updated annually in December of each year for each/all school districts.
