~. ~~~ <br />Countywide student generation rates from 1990 were calibrated to school year <br />2000-2001 data on housing units and ADM in the Orange County School District <br />(see Figure 7). Assuming that the relative contribution of public school students by <br />type of housing has remained constant since 1990, TA proportionately adjusted the <br />student generation rates for each type of school to yield the actual ADM. For <br />example, the 1990 countywide rates indicate an average of 0.174 elementary <br />students per Single Family Detached (SFD) house and 0.097 elementary students <br />per All Other Residential Unit. Multiplying these rates by the number of housing <br />units in school year 2000-2001 yields an estimated 3,573 elementary students. <br />However, the Orange County District only has 3,078 elementary students (ADM) in <br />school year 2000-2001. Therefore, the generation rates for elementary students in <br />the Orange County District were adjusted downward to match the actual ADM. <br />This process was repeated for middle and high school data, with the adjusted <br />student generation rates summarized at the bottom of Figure 7. <br />Current housing unit estimates were refined by Orange County planning staff to <br />shift doublewide manufactured housing units into the Single Family Detached <br />category. Only singlewide mobile homes remain in the All Other Residential <br />category. <br />9 <br />
