The general thrust of this report is to examine the impact of school closures on the following clusters of variables: population and land use trends--including changes in age structure, birthrates, racial composition, social and economic characteristics, demolitions and new structures, and occupancy rates in residential and commercial structures; school enrollment changes--including analysis of student mobility immediately following closure; residential property values--including physical characteristics of housing; crime and fire rates; school support by local citizens as measured by local election results; and general quality of neighborhood life--including daily activity patterns, recreational behavior of residents, and community reaction to closure decisions. Because of the widely different data sources and methodologies required to examine the variable clusters, the findings are presented according to variable clusters rather than by school neighborhoods. Certain of the summary data relating to the six clusters are included in the text; additional data has been included in attachments to the report. (Author/IRT)
