Navigation:  Schools/School Districts > Characteristics of the School District Community

While we are often interested in analyzing school districts in the context of students and schools, there is the equally important school district community -- demographics of school district residents.  Knowing the composition of the total school district population and how it is changing is critical to understanding how the student population and characteristics will change in the future.  In addition, voting and property taxes from the school district community impact on all facets of the school district operation.

 

What is the size and age distribution of the school district community population?  What is the educational attainment?  What are dominant occupations and employment by type of business?  What are income characteristics?  What is the age of the housing stock? What is the nature of occupancy and costs of housing?  How does this school district compare/contrast with the region? State? In this section, a demographic mosaic is generated using CommunityViewer for adjacent school districts in a comparative analysis context useful to provide answers to these types of questions.  Comparative analysis profiles are generated for these three Houston area school districts.
