For our analysis, we calculated public charter school participation rates for each in - boundary neighborhood, or the proportion of students living within an in - boundary neighborhood who
attend public charter schools anywhere in the city.
Using consistent methodology, we run regressions of all strongly or moderately correlated neighborhood characteristics on public charter school participation, or the percent of students living within a school boundary who
attend public charter schools anywhere in the city (see Table 2).
Citywide, at least 7 percent of students attend a public charter school that is located within their school boundary, compared to 46 percent of students who
attend a public charter school anywhere in the city.
