TIES conducts housing demography analyses using GIS software with census and demographic data. By going far beyond enrollment projections, the analysis of housing patterns can provide districts with a deeper understanding of financial, planning, resource allocation and community involvement issues.

Data mapping

TIES also offers data mapping based on census and demographic data. These high-quality maps can help parents and community members understand the impact of proposed budget cuts, school district population trends, and boundary and transportation changes. They also allow district officials to analyze boundary and transportation issues with a high degree of detail. This graphic depiction of district information can bring into sharp focus new understandings of the interrelationship of a school district’s services and its communities.
