Population of each Georgia public school's attendance zone, all ages and ages 5-17: estimated residents (the key metric)
Population of each Georgia public school's attendance zone, all ages and ages 5-17: estimated residents (the key metric) and residents per square mile of land, each with a 90 percent margin of error, and the zone's land area, from the American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates (table B01001, sex by age). A zone that is its whole school district carries the Census's own figures for that district, and one that is its whole county the county's (estimate_source). Every other zone is built from block-group estimates placed in the zone by the school_attendance_zone_block_groups crosswalk's 2020 population shares. Land area is the zone's 2020 census land, built the same way for every zone. Two rows per school and zone level, one per age_bracket. year is the school year the zones are in effect for (2027 = 2026-27).
Filterable categorical columns (comma-separated values union; multiple columns AND together):
- zone_level — one of: elementary, middle, high
- age_bracket — one of: all, 5_17
- estimate_source — one of: school_district, county, block_groups
- zone_differs_by_grade (free categorical)
Detail levels available: schools (default: schools)
Year coverage: 2027–2027 (1 years, no gaps)
NULL handling: suppressed cells are NULL (not zero); zero is a real value.
