Education

EASI has developed an index to reflect education resources in the community. The data are summarized from ZIP Code Business Patterns. ZIP Code Business Patterns is an annual source of establishment and employment data for the United States. The factor that has been used in the creation of this estimate is the number of employees working in Educational Institutions including:

• Elementary and Secondary Schools (NAICS 6111)

• Junior Colleges (NAICS 6112)

• Colleges, Universities, & Professional Schools (NAICS 6113)

• Business Schools and Computer and Management Training (NAICS 6114)

• Technical and Trade Schools (NAICS 6115)

• Other Schools and Instruction (NAICS 6116)

• Educational Support Services (NAICS 6117)

Education is not a variable that is measurable for a particular neighborhood. It is more closely associated with a larger area. EASI has summarized the above variables on the county The primary political divisions of most States are termed "counties." In Louisiana, these divisions are known as "parishes." In Alaska, which has no counties, the county equivalents are the organized "boroughs" and the "census areas" that are delineated for statistical purposes by the State of Alaska and the Census Bureau. In four States (Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia), there are one or more cities that are independent of any county organization and thus constitute primary divisions of their States. These cities are known as "independent cities" and are treated as equivalent to counties for statistical purposes. That part of Yellowstone National Park in Montana is treated as a county equivalent. The District of Columbia has no primary divisions, and the entire area is considered equivalent to a county for statistical purposes. Each county and county equivalent is assigned a three-digit FIPS code that is unique within State. These codes are assigned in alphabetical order of county or county equivalent within State, except for the independent cities, which follow the listing of counties. level for this analysis.
