U.S. public elementary and education systems, mostly school districts, reported $593.1 billion in revenues collected in fiscal year 2009. Financial data, sources and uses of funds, for each school system have been organized into an interactive ranking table.

Use the interactive ranking table to examine characteristics of individual school districts in context of U.S. overall, states or metros. Select by state or metro and rank based on any of several selected revenue by source and per student expenditure by category.

Detailed demographics from the American Community Survey (ACS) 2005-09 "5-year estimates" are now available. How many "grade relevant children are not enrolled in school" (dropout superset) in districts of interest? View total population by type of tabulation universe/enrollment for all school districts via interactive ranking table at http://proximityone.com/sdst0509.htm.

These data are the first "school district special tabulation" (SDST) updates to the Census 2000 SDST for all school districts. The SDST is the only source of data that tells us about children's own demographics and their living characteristics by school district. In addition, the SDST is tabulated for 5 universes, enabling analysis of children by these universes: 1) enrolled and not enrolled, 2) enrolled, 3) enrolled - public school, 4) enrolled - private school and 5) not enrolled.

New age and household characteristics data ... the Census 2010 Demographic Profile Summary File (DPSF) is the second major Census 2010 dataset, released in May 2011 following release of the P.L. 94-171 redistricting data. The DPSF contains approximately 200 subject matter items ... 100 percent data asked of all people and about every housing unit on topics such as sex, age, race, Hispanic origin, household relationship, household type, group quarters population, housing occupancy, and housing tenure. The DPSF is released as individual files for the U.S., each state, D.C. and Puerto Rico. Released on a flow basis, data for all states are expected to be available by the end of May.

These are the first "more detailed" age-related and household characteristics data to be released from Census 2010. The low-level tabulation geography is city/place and minor civil divisions ... there are no census tract or school district summary data included.

While no school district tabulations are included, these data are available for school districts which are coterminous with county boundaries (all counties are included). And, since all cities/places and towns/minor civil divisions are included, the data are available for core sections of most school districts. School district tabulations with these same data and much more detailed data become available from Census 2010 Summary File 1 starting in June 2011 on a state by state flow basis.

The DPFS include the first Census 2010 more detailed age-related data -- see detailed comparative analysis profile at http://proximityone.com/cen2010_dpsf.htm to view the scope of subject matter data available.

Access the DPSF data using the Demographic Data Analyst (DDA) software. See more about the DDA software, with examples of using the DPSF data, at http://proximityone.com/dda. Integrate the Census 2010 DPSF data with ACS 2009 "richer demographics" data.

As of Census 2010, 16.3% of the total U.S. population were of Hispanic Origin; 23.1% of the total population under 18 years were Hispanic. Patterns of Hispanic population vary widely by school district.

For the U.S. overall, births decreased in the three successive years 2007 to 2009, following a set of long-term continuous annual increases in the number of U.S. births. The provisional count of births through June 2010 indicates a continued decline. Fertility rates (birth rates for women aged 15�44) fell more rapidly from 2007 through 2009 than for any 2-year period in more than 30 years.

In 2009, births varied widely by state by race/ethnicity.

Many schools, school districts and K-12 education stakeholders have an interest in determining the nature and distribution of group quarters population in service areas.

The first Census 2010 group quarters summary data were released 4/19/11 enabling analysis of group quarters populations. These data provide an early version of table P42 from the 2010 Census Summary File 1 (to be released summer 2011), showing population counts for seven types of group quarters. The institutionalized group quarters categories include correctional facilities for adults, juvenile facilities, nursing facilities/skilled-nursing facilities and other institutional facilities; while the noninstitutionalized group quarters categories include college/university student housing, military quarters and other noninstitutional facilities.

Data are provided for states, counties, census tracts and blocks. Using the block level data summary data can be developed for school districts, attendance zones and planning units.

See these examples of using the Census 2010 group quarters data:

Census 2010 demographic data are now available down to the census block level of geography. Each school district is made up of a set of contiguous census blocks, covering the district wall-to-wall, with block-school district coterminous boundaries on the district perimeter. Census block demographics may be accurately aggregated to school district level summary data. While these first "redistricting data" do not provide as much detail as will be available later in 2011 from Summary File 1, they offer the first opportunity since Census 2000 to view/analyze demographics for neighborhoods, planning units, attendance zones and other sub-school district geography.

Proximity integrates census block demographics into state by census block TIGER/Line shapefiles The shapefiles may be used with any GIS/mapping software (such as the CommunityViewer GIS) for thematic mapping and geospatial analysis.

Use these shapefiles for your school district(s) to visually examine demographic patterns. See http://proximityone.com/cen2010_blocks.htm to see a list of demographic subject matter items available. View map graphics/examples of how thematic maps can reveal attendance zone and neighborhood patterns.

Contact us to learn about obtaining these files for your areas of interest and how you can flexibly develop maps and optionally integrate your own data. Mention 'census block demographic mapping.'

Join us in an upcoming computer hands-on "Using GeoDemographics for Strategic Planning and Analysis" one-day workshop.

The audience includes planners, analysts, researchers and decision-making information users. Sessions are focused on accessing, integrating and using Census 2010, ACS, and TIGER/Line shapefiles for strategic planning and analysis. Computer hands-on segments provide instruction on data access operations and use of GIS tools to examine what these data can, and are, telling us about demographic change, patterns and impact for a range of geograpvmahies with focus on small area demographics.

Census 2010 P.L. 94-171 redistricting data are being released on a state by state flow basis (started 2/3/11) with all data being released by 3/31/11. Use the interactive ranking table at http://proximityone.com/cen2010_pl94171.htm to view selected summary level data, including school districts, for all states as the data become available (updated weekly).

Map graphics showing thematic patterns of educational attainment and economic prosperity are now available in the Applications Gallery. Organized state-by-state, the map graphics show state by school district pattern views and metro/regional areas by school district and census tract/neighborhood area pattern views.

The map views are based on new ACS 2009 5-year demographics integrated into new geography from the Census 2010 TIGER/Line Shapefiles and related data. Each section provides a link to related tabular data presented in interactive ranking tables.

Census 2010 census block level data will start to flow during the first week of February. These "redistricting" data will be followed by more detailed subject matter by census block during the summer 2011 (such as single year of age). Some school districts must redistrict their attendance zones due to state or local regulations. Many districts might find that both improved educational opportunities and financial benefits result from redistricting.

In these challenging budget times, most larger school districts may find financial benefit in realigning attendance zones -- and better match building capacity to the area served by the building. While this might not fit/apply to open enrollment districts, it might be useful to reconsider use of more structured attendance zones matched to building capacity.

Associating Census 2010 census blocks and school district attendance zones: see these illustrative views for Houston Independent School District, Texas. See West University attendance zone.
