[Massplanners] Question about school-aged children multipliers

[Mark Archambault]

Gary,

Back in the late 90s, when I was preparing the Master Plan for Nashua, NH, I used both 'Listokin and Burchell' numbers, followed by specific values for Nashua that I calculated based on actual enrollment data for several neighborhoods.

The .75 multiplier for SF homes sticks in my mind, as were lesser values for multi-family, though I don't recall the exact figures.

Best wishes,

Hi Mark,
What were the data sources of the SAC multiplier that you used? One source I tap is Burchell & Listokin fiscal impact handbook.

Hello MassPlanners,

Many years ago, I prepared several community and fiscal impact studies that used multipliers for the average number of school-aged children (SAC) for various styles of housing.

I recall that for the town I was working in, that the SAC multiplier for single-family homes then was about .75, for duplexes it was about .60 and for multi-family residential was about .55, or something in that range.

I am looking for currently accepted multipliers for mixed-use developments with apartments above commercial space, to be exact.  I guess that would fall under multi-family greater than a duplex.

Any examples of numbers you may have recently used would be appreciated.

Thank you,
