School District Demographic Economic Characteristics -- ACS 2015 Age and Race/Origin Characteristics
School districts vary widely in the size of the school age population compared to the school district total population. How do school districts of interest compare to peers or in a region? There are other measures that need to be considered for a more comprehensive look at the demographic make-up of the "school district community." This section is focused on tools, resources and methods that you can use to access, integrate and analyze school district demographic characteristics. These data uniquely provide insights into many of the most important demographic characteristics for the entire district rather than only the enrolled population. This section updates in 2018. One of Four Sections. Approximately 600 subject matter items from the American Community Survey ACS 2015 database are included in these four pages/tables: • General Demographics -- this page/section -- view table • Social Characteristics • Economic Characteristics • Housing Characteristics School Districts with Highest Percentage of School Age Population Use the interactive table below in this section to examine demographic characteristics of school districts. Below is a list of the 10 school districts having the highest percentage of school age population (relative to the total population). developed using the interactive tables.  - ranked on item P517PCT -- population ages 5-17 (P517) as percent of total population (D028). Patterns of School Age Population by School District - percent population age 5-17 (item P517PCT in table)  - view developed with CVGIS software using related GIS project and datasets. Related Sections See related tables for Census Tracts | ZIP Codes | State, Metro & County. 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. Affiliate Geography. This page introduces use of the Affiliate Geography. The rightmost column (Geo2) may contain a school district code for an affiliated school district. In this table, the affiliated code is only active for Phoenix Union High School District, AZ and affiliated, intersecting in this case, 13 elementary school districts. Click ShowAll button and then the Affiliate button below the table. The table refreshes showing only these districts. Now this set of districts may be sorted and viewed as a group. Affiliated geography coding is useful to examine related elementary/secondary districts (that overlap the same geography). General Demographics Items

Importance of Demographic-Economic Data The importance of understanding the demographic-economic make-up and trends 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. The American Community Survey provides "richer" demographic-economic characteristics for national scope wide-ranging geographic areas. 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. These data are updated annually in December of each year for each/all political/statistical areas, including school districts, census tracts, ZIP code areas and block groups.
