[Massplanners] School-Aged Children Generation Rates for New Housing Units

[Tim Czerwienski]

Milton commissioned a fiscal impact analysis of our MBTA Communities zoning article last year. Our consultant, RKG Associates, developed school-aged children ratios for various unit types. Their figures and methodology are on page 12 here: https://www.townofmilton.org/DocumentCenter/View/6220/2023-12-06_Impact-Report_Milton-MBTA-Districts

Depending on your needs, I've found it helpful to count the number of public school students in existing multifamily in town. Milton has few-enough multifamily buildings that it isn't a heavy lift for the superintendent's office to run a search for each multifamily address and generate a number of students who live in those buildings. (Spoiler alert: not many!)

HI Mass Planners,

I've had some resources in the past on this topic, but not finding anything in my files at the moment...

Would any of you have any documents or websites that help provide generation rates for school aged children for new housing units, based on housing unit types/size?

If so, I welcome having you send them my way.

Thanks!
Eric
