Census 2010 data provide a way to examine ZIP Code demographics by school district. Many ZIP codes transcend school district boundaries; ZIP codes may exist in more than one school district. Use data described in this section to view/analyze characteristics of ZIP code areas that intersect with school districts of interest. See which school districts are served by a specific ZIP code and associated demographics. Sort the interactive table below on population in descending order to see that the School District/ZIP code areas with the largest population include Chicago/60629 (113,916), New York City Schools/11368 (109,931) and Los Angeles Unified/90011 (103,892). Visually Relating ZIP Codes and School Districts The following view shows the Dallas, TX metro focused on Collin and Denton counties. The map shows patterns of Census 2010 rental vacancy rate by ZIP Code with ZIP code labels. School district boundaries are shown with bold brown boundaries and district names as labels. The pointer/hand is shown in ZIP code 75024 -- mostly in Plano city.  - view developed with CV XE GIS and related GIS project. - See more detail about this view below. Developing the Data Census 2010 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) and school districts are both comprised of sets of census blocks. Census block level data from the Census 2010 Summary File 1 (SF1) have been aggregated into ZIP code-School District parts to develop data presented in the ranking table. Data in the ranking table are part of the ProximityOne national ZIP Code-School District dataset. See additional details. Use the ranking table to view a school district by ZIP code and selected associated demographics for each ZIP code portion in that school district. Examine how ZIP codes are split by specific school districts. Only those ZIP code-school district combinations with population of 10 or more are included. See related ranking table with total ZIP code population (ZIP code not split) at http://proximityone.com/cen2010_zcta_dp.htm.

The map shows patterns of Census 2010 rental vacancy rate by ZIP Code (see in legend at left) with ZIP code labels. School district boundaries are shown with bold brown boundaries and district names as labels. The pointer/hand is shown in ZIP code 75024 -- mostly in Plano city. Using the ranking table above, it is possible to view demographics for the parts of the ZIP code area within three school districts: Plano ISD, Lewisville ISD and Frisco ISD. See the next graphic. 
The following static view of the ranking table above is focused on the same ZIP/area. To develop this view, click ShowAll, Find ZIP with 75024 in the edit box. The total Census 2010 population for ZIP 75024 is 36,039 (11631+2091+22317). The same method of examining city/place by ZIP code area part can be applied to any area of the U.S.

Extending the Scope of Subject Matter Detail As described above, the method used to develop the ZIP Code-School District data shown in the table was to aggregate census block demographics. While only a few attributes are shown in the table, a much wider range of data could be provided in a dataset -- any of the census block level data from Census 2010 Summary File 1 (SF1). A list of subject matter items is provided by link on that page. A key subset of the SF1 items are those items included in the block level 'demographic profile.' See a list of those items at http://proximityone.com/cen2010_dpsf_items.htm. Other priority items for education-related analyses would be the population by single year of age for the population under 20 years. There are no 'richer demographics' from Census 2010 owing to the reduced scope of questionnaire. However, starting with the American Community Survey (ACS) 2010 5-year estimates, ZIP Code tabulation area demographics are available. While there are no block-level data from ACS, thus not possible to use ACS data to show parts of ZIP Code areas by school district, a wider selection of richer demographics is available for the entire ZIP Code social characteristics, economic characteristics, housing characteristics). Extended Geographic Views & Geography The following zoom-in view focuses on ZIP Code 75024 (blue bold boundary) used in the above examples. This view shows detailed roads. Additional layers could be added including geocoded students, tax parcels and census block enhancing analytical possibilities. Other aspects of the view are similar to those described above. The pointer is located in that portion of ZIP 75024 within Plano ISD. 
ZIP Code Tabulation Areas Data presented in the ranking table sum to the total population/housing units for the corresponding state. The demographic characteristics for each census block in each state are aggregated into a ZIP-School District combination. There are many instances of ZIP-Place combinations that show zero or nearly zero population. These areas are often geographic slivers, almost lines. While school district boundaries mostly cover the U.S. wall-to-wall, Census 2010 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas are comprised of populated census blocks and do not cover the the U.S. wall-to-wall from a geographic perspective.
