[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Henry planning units south of the Pike have a FARMS rate of about 40%. Can someone explain to me how that’s considered wealthy? I guess we’re just expecting a single block of nicer homes to save an entire school. [/quote]

To make sure we are talking about the same thing-- Here are the Henry Planning Units south of the Pike, and here are their respective FARMS rates;

46010- 61 students, 27 FARMS (44%)
46011- 20 students, 0-9 FARMS
46130 - 12 students, 0-9 FARMS
46133- 12 students, 0-9 FARMS
46132- 35 students, 15 FARMS (42%)
46131- 17 students, 0-9 FARMS
46120- 52 students, 12 FARMS (23%)

Total of 209 students.  Total of a minimum of 58 FARMS and a maximum of 90 FARMs.  So a FARMS rate between 27% and 43%.  The only way you can get to the higher number is if you assume that all of the 0-9 numbers are actually 9.   Given that the area is mostly SFH and rowhomes the higher number seems extraordinarily unlikely to me.

I think I just figured out how to figure out this area's actual rate.  Here are the rest of the Henry zoned units
46100- 63 students, 18 FARMS
46101- 76 students, 40 FARMS
46102- 99 students, 23 FARMS
46900- 41 students, 16 FARMS
46920- 37 students (1-9 FARMS)
46020- 57 students (1-9 FARMS)
46021- 50 students, 10 FARMS
46022, 61 students, 22 FARMS
37041- 21 students, 12 FARMS
37042- 9 students, 1-9 FARMS
so somewhere between 143-158 FARMS students in the rest of the Henry zone.  We know that the zone has 215 FARMS students total.  WE know precisely which planning units 201 of those studetns come from.  The other 14 students are either from south of the pike, or north of the pike- or split between.  
If we attribute all 14 to the south of the pike units that would be 72 FARMs students there- for a FARMS rate of 34%.   [/quote]
