Small Area Income & Poverty EstimatesModel-based Estimates for States, Counties, & School Districts |
|
I. File Organization: The files in the FTP directory contain estimates of population and poverty. The school districts for which we have estimates were identified in the 2001 school district mapping project's survey which asked about all school districts as of July 15, 2001. Thus the 2000 estimates reflect poverty in 2000 of the population in 2001 for school district boundaries in the 2001-2002 school year. There is one file for each of the states, the District of Columbia, and the entire United States. Each file contains the FIPS state code, Department of Education Common Core of Data (CCD) ID numbers, District names, the total population, population of school-age children, and estimated number of school-age children in poverty related to the head of the household. II. File Names Two kinds of files are located here: 1) USSD00.dat (A large file containing the estimates for every school district in the Nation) 2) sd00_[STATE].dat (Smaller files containing estimates for every school district in an individual state) where [STATE] = standard two-letter postal abbreviations.
