Census-to-School Method Estimated Catchment Areas and Mean Income

This dataset includes two sets of files: (1) the school-bg files contain the block groups assigned to each school (i.e. estimated catchment areas), as well as corresponding census tracts and enrollments, using the Census-to-School (CTS) Method described in Hashim, Laski, Kelley-Kemple (2023); (2) the school-level file contains estimates for school-level mean income and variance of income derived using publicly available data on school locations from the CCD, enrollments, and census data on the number of school aged children in each block group, and the proportion of families with school-age children in each income bin in each tract. See Hashim, Laski, Kelley-Kemple (2023) for details.
