About these Demographic-Economic Data .. goto top Data used in this section are estimates developed from the American Community Survey (ACS). These data differ from administratively reported data (enrollment, etc.). This section is based on data from the ACS 2017 1-year estimates. These estimates are developed for areas (school districts and otherwise) having population of 65,000 or more. It happens that there are 1,042 school districts of this size. Data are for the total resident population in the district. Data are not shown separately for charter schools as charter schools have no defined boundaries. If a charter school located in district X has students from district Y, attributes of those students and households are shown in data for district Y. In December 2018, the ACS 2017 5 year estimates become available. The 5-year estimates are centric to 2015 whereas data used here are for 2017. Similar tables as shown in these sections can be developed that include all school districts using the ACS 5 year estimates. 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 census tracts, ZIP code areas and block groups.
