Education Attainment of Young Adults 18-24 by ZIP Code Tabulation Area

This dataset includes annual estimates of educational attainment for the population ages 18-24. Through its American Community Survey, the U.S. Census Bureau produces 5-year estimates for most geographies in the U.S, and its territories. The educational attainment estimates reports a percentage of the population who have completed increasing levels of education from less than high school completion to a bachelor’s degree or higher. Estimates are for the highest level of education completed. This dataset is for the Census bureau defined ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTA). Though roughly formed with the U.S. Postal Service’s ZIP Code areas as a guide, across the nation the ZCTAs do not always conform to the exact boundaries of ZIP Code areas. However, in St. Louis County the boundaries rarely differ.

Student Homelessness

This dataset includes annual counts of all students reported as homeless by their home school district to the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). Students are identified as homeless if they lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. This includes students who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; are abandoned in hospitals; or are awaiting foster care placement; who have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings; who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings; and migratory children. The homeless student rate is not calculated or reported by DESE. Instead, a rate has been calculated for the purpose of ImpactSTLCO using the district homeless counts and student enrollment data for each academic year. The rate should be understood as a point-in-time estimate as student enrollment does not include transfer numbers for the school year. Homeless Students Per 10,000 Students is calculated as: (Homeless Students Count/Student Enrollment) x 10,000.

Four Year High School Graduation Rates

This dataset includes annual counts and rates for students who graduate high school within four years. The four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate is the number of students who graduate in four (4) years with a regular high school diploma divided by the number of students who form the adjusted cohort for the graduating class rounded to the tenth. From the beginning of 9th grade, students who are entering that grade for the first time form a cohort that is subsequently “adjusted” by adding any students who transfer into the cohort later during the 9th grade and the next three (3) years and subtracting any students who transfer out, emigrate to another country, or die during that same period.

High School Dropout Rates

This dataset includes annual rates for students who are identified as dropouts from grades 9-12. The dropout rate is calculated by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education as: the number of dropouts divided by the total of September enrollment, plus transfers in, minus transfers out, minus dropouts, added to September enrollment, then divided by two.

Teen Births By ZIP Code 2013

This dataset includes annual counts and rates of live births to girls ages 10-19 who are residents of St. Louis County. Data is collected, maintained and published by the Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services (HSS). Information on each birth and the mothers is gathered from birth certificates. HSS only reports the number of live births along with other health, social and demographic variables through the Missouri Information for Community Assessment (MICA) system. Rates of live births is calculated using both MICA and U.S. Census population estimates. The population estimates are organized by ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTA). In very rare instances do the ZCTAs not consistently overlap with the postal ZIP Code areas. Live Births Per 1,000 Teen Girls for a specified time period is calculated as: (# Live Births to Girls Ages 10-19/Total Population of Girls Ages 10-19) x 1,000.

Postsecondary Education Enrollment 180 Days After High School Graduation

This dataset includes counts of the previous years’ high school graduates who have enrolled in postsecondary education within 180 days of graduation. School districts are required to complete a follow-up report for each graduate that is submitted to the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). DESE maintains and publishes 180-day follow-up reports after each academic year. Graduate enrollment is organized by institution type: 4 year college, 2 year college and technical studies resulting in a certificate rather than a degree. Percent of Previous Year’s Graduates Enrolled in Postsecondary Education is calculated as: ((Grads in 4 Yr College+ Grads in 2 Yr College + Grads in Tech Education)/ # Previous Year’s Graduates) x 100.
