School Neighborhood Poverty Estimates - Current

Published by National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) | Department of Education | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2024-05-22T18:05:05.587363
The 2020-2021 School Neighborhood Poverty Estimates are based on school locations from the 2020-2021 Common Core of Data (CCD) school file and income data from families with children ages 5 to 18 in the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2017-2021 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year collection. The ACS is a continuous household survey that collects social, demographic, economic, and housing information from the population in the United States each month. The Census Bureau calculates the income-to-poverty ratio (IPR) based on money income reported for families relative to the poverty thresholds, which are determined based on the family size and structure. Noncash benefits (such as food stamps and housing subsidies) are excluded, as are capital gains and losses. The IPR is the percentage of family income that is above or below the federal poverty level. The IPR indicator ranges from 0 to a top-coded value of 999. A family with income at the poverty threshold has an IPR value of 100. The estimates in this file reflect the IPR for the neighborhoods around schools which may be different from the neighborhood conditions of students enrolled in schools.Collections are available for the following years: School Neighborhood Poverty Estimates, 2020-2021School Neighborhood Poverty Estimates, 2019-2020 School Neighborhood Poverty Estimates, 2018-2019 School Neighborhood Poverty Estimates, 2017-2018 School Neighborhood Poverty Estimates, 2016-2017 School Neighborhood Poverty Estimates, 2015-2016 All information contained in this file is in the public domain. Data users are advised to review NCES program documentation and feature class metadata to understand the limitations and appropriate use of these data.
