The <br /> survey area included all of the territory within the boundaries of the Mukilteo School District. The <br /> analysis is based on projects constructed between 1992 through 1999. The primary sources of <br /> information are Snohomish County and the Mukilteo School District. <br /> The process of analysis involved gathering the residential development data from 1992 through <br /> 1999 from the county. The addresses of each of these developments were matched with student <br /> addresses from this school year. This data was aggregated to show the number of students in <br /> each of the grade groupings for each type of residential development. <br /> The primary source of the development activity information was the MetroScan data provided by <br /> the count?. The district supplemented this data by adding information on the apartment number <br /> and number of bedrooms in each unit of multiple family housing in the study.3 A comparison of <br /> 'The 2000 analysis has been helped by improvements in the MetroScan data: First, the data is up-to-date with <br /> 1999 developments included. Second,the data is comprehensive by including permit information from <br /> incorporated and unincorporated jurisdictions within the district. The grouping's of single family and multiple <br /> family is consistent with Title 26C. Single family are limited to single family detached units including mobile <br /> homes. Multiple family includes single family attached,duplexes and condominiums. <br /> 2 The data provided by the county contained a variety of information including parcel number,land use code <br /> (including number of units),street address and year built. For the purpose of calculating the SGR's,street number <br /> and name were extracted for comparison with student addresses. <br /> 3 The general assumption is that all units which are in the 1999 data are currently available for occupancy. This <br /> has the potential to slightly overstate the number of available units and,thereby, understate the SGR's. Where the <br /> district's information indicated that a multiple family unit was not fully completed and open for occupancy,that <br /> c ,v <br />
