Figure 73. The growth stability index measures how stable the
population growth has been during the past two years in an area.
The closer to 1 the index is the higher likelihood the growth trend
will continue.
2024-2025 Enrollment and Demographics Study
© Business Information Services, LLC Page 45
Figure 74. The expected value index measures how closely the
population growth in an area for the last year equals what was
expected to occur during the previous year. If a value is close to 1,
then that means the population growth occurred exactly at the rate it
was expected. A value greater than 1 means the growth is occurring
faster than expected. Negative values mean the area is not growing
at the level expected the previous year.
Figure 75. Average salaries for varying industry occupations at the
local level are applied to the workers in those occupations for each
block group. Then the block group’s overall average salary is com-
pared to the national average to form an index related to worker
pay at the local level. The red areas have workers who earn more
than 20 percent higher than the national average for those occupa-
tions.

Figure 76. The diversity index measure the diversity of any
population in which each person belongs to a unique race. A value
of 1 indicates there is only one race represented in each Census
block area. The lower the index, the more racial diversity exists.

Figure 77. The ethnic dominance indicator index shows the dominant
ethnic/racial class in a Census block group. The darker the green, the

Figure 132. This figure and Figure 101, below left, illustrate the
same principle that compares actual versus predicted district enroll-
ment.
Figure 133. The statistical scatter graph plots the actual enrollment
in the School District of Clayton against the predicted values from
the regression model. There is a moderate relationship that when
employment increases, enrollment increases.
Figure 131. Typically, a public school district’s enrollment (the blue
line) would increase when the area unemployment rate increases, but
there is no pattern in the School District of Clayton.

Figure 148. The table above shows that since 1986, there is an average of 2.631 students in the School
District of Clayton per each new single-family house built. Consider that since 1986, there has been an
average of 33 new houses built in the district per year and the year-to-year average change in enroll-
ment in the district is an increase of 25 students per year. The statistical relationship is much weaker,
however, with a predictability of only 1.9 percent and correlation of 13.8 percent.

Integrity—We tell the truth even when it isn’t popular. Our
word is our bond and we will do what we say.
Hard Work—It is an honor to serve your school district.
We will work hard to earn and keep your trust.
Quality—Our demographic studies have more data, more
information and more analysis than is produced by any other
firm in the country.
Innovation—We are always trying to find new ways to gath-
er and present better information.
Accountability—We realize that school district administra-
tors rely on our data for staff hiring, building construction
and long-range planning. If we are wrong, the decisions
made can cost taxpayers millions of dollars. So we take our
responsibility for providing the most accurate enrollment in-
formation possible very seriously.
