These files include geocoding information for schools as reported on the annual Common Core of Data School Universe Survey. The information includes the NCES school identification code; latitude and longitude of the reported address; and two locale codes. Locale code is a measure of a school’s location relative to populous areas. The metro-centric locale codes developed and used by NCES include 8 categories that range from large city to rural. The new urban-centric locale categories, introduced with these files, serve the same purpose as the metro-centric categories, but are defined by a combination of their population and their distance from an urban area. There are a total of twelve urban-centric categories, organized in a two level hierarchy; the four categories of the upper level (city, suburban, town, rural) are each divided into three subcategories.
