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).
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.
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.
