SNAPSHOT '97 Property Wealth Item Definitions

Wealth is defined as total taxable property value divided by the total number of students and is used as an indicator of a district's ability to raise local funds on a per pupil basis. The property value used is total taxable value for 1996, as determined by the Comptroller's Property Tax Division (CPTD). The total number of students is for the 1996-97 school year. Districts are classified into 20 categories with approximately equal numbers of students in each, or approximately five percent of total students per category. The 22 non-taxing districts--charters and the special statutory districts--form a separate group because they have no taxable property wealth.
