TABLE 4: ABILITY TO PAY
<br /> This is a measure of a county's per student fiscal capacity to support public schools.It is a combined measure of revenue that would have been generated at the state
<br /> average tax rate based on 2013-14 property valuations per student(adjusted to reflect current market prices and to account for differences in income levels)and the value
<br /> of non-property tax revenues.Each county's mandated social services payments were also subtracted from total adjusted revenues.Large,urban counties combining high
<br /> adjusted property valuations with broad-based economic activity and high per capita incomes tend to rank highest on this measure.
