What if residential development is occurring within a district? How does DecisionInsite handle this?
In order to realistically consider the potential impact upon a district of new residential development, DecisionInsite needs to know the amount of dwelling units by product type and year of expected occupancy. Armed with this information, we are able to apply a student generation rate and project new students in the appropriate year. Some districts have the internal staff to conduct residential development research. When this is the case, they simply pass that information along and it is built into the forecasts. For districts that do not have this internal capacity, DecisionInsite can provide these research services for an additional fee.
