Step Three: Housing Development

New residential development is a key component to future enrollment growth in any district, including the Livingston Union School District.
Student Generation Rate
Student Generation Rate( SGR) is a critical component in analyzing the impact of new development in a district. SGR are used to project the number of students from new development who will eventually be a part of the District.
The rates were determined by first counting the number of students in the District who live in housing units constructed between January 2006 and December 2015, and second, dividing that number by the total number of housing units that were constructed over the same time period. This study uses county assessor data from Merced County to derive the housing counts and District-provided student address list to derive the student counts. Table 6 identifies the weighted average SGR over the last ten years( 2006-2015).

Table 7 represents a year-by-year historical SGR by grade level by year for each of the last ten years( 2006-2015). This data is used to estimate the student yield of any given housing unit each year over the ten year period.
