[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An interesting factoid - Loudoun only has about 60% of the population of DC, yet has over 20% more kids in the school-age years (5-17). DCUM can always be counted upon to cough up some people who'll swear how they and all their friends would never live in the outer suburbs, but that is exactly where more of the real moms and dads are. [/quote] How does that compare to say, Arlington, though? Which is also not an outer suburb, but is historically more favored by the upper middle class (especially its schools) than DC is? Or say City of Falls Church, where the big complaint is that the planners underestimated how many school kids would be generated by new apartments? [/quote] The percentage of children 5-17 in Arlington is about the same as in DC and is also low. The difference compared to DC is that parents there tend to send their kids to public schools. The school planning in FCC has been bad on many counts. Failing to accurately predict the student yields from new apartments was probably more excusable than some of their other slip-ups. In any event, the local jurisdictions with the highest percentages of kids 5-17 are Loudoun, Prince William, and Howard - all outer suburbs. [/quote]
