NEWARK, NJ— The Center for Real Estate at Rutgers Business School.

1. Across all income levels and building product types the number of school-age children increases with the number of bedrooms;
2. For any given number of bedrooms and product types, the number of school-age children decreases as renters' household incomes rise;
3. Holding income and the number of bedrooms fixed, the amount of school-age children has an inverse relationship with density (e.g. garden apartments, with fewer units per building, have a greater number of school-age children, and mid-and-high-rise buildings with a greater number of units per building have a lesser number of school-age children);
4. Buildings with an average income of less than $50,000 per year have a similar number of school-age children regardless of whether the buildings include affordable units or market-rate units;
5. Buildings constructed before 2000 have a significantly higher number of school-age children living in market-rate units than do buildings built after 2000; and
6. On average, the number of school-age children per 100 affordable units is significantly higher than the number of school-age children per 100 market-rate units.
