Consultant Services -- Demographer
The district is interested in receiving proposals from demographers (“Consultant”) using
alternate methods of projecting student enrollment that would provide greater accuracy
three to ten years out, thus reducing statistical variances between actual and projected
enrollments. Additionally, we are seeking to improve the accuracy of projections on a
per building basis, particularly at the elementary level, for capital facilities planning
purposes. We are hoping to identify a methodology that can take into account:
• In-migration
• Zoning density
• Housing turns (particularly projecting the impact of in-migration upon the return
of the local housing market)
• Student population growth vs. overall population growth
• Current census data (if available)
• Any other factors the Consultant deems necessary or worthy of bringing to the
district’s attention.
