I can see this with Seattles Best or Millstone or whatever NYC might offer but when Starbucks was asked to donate Coffee to the Soldiers,they said no!

There's a bunch of tracts with relatively low median incomes but high rates of private school enrollment, and some of these may have a high concentration of Orthodox Jews. One part of the Manhattan pattern does hold true in Brooklyn as well: high-income tracts tend to have high rates of private school enrollment. In the 16 Brooklyn census tracts with a median family income of over $100K, 55% of the school-aged kids attend private schools. In the 68 Brooklyn census tracts with a median family income of less than $20K, 18% of the school-aged kids attend private schools. I bet that if I were able to adjust for religion, this difference would be even more dramatic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589405835312873091.post-38613857820976700572007-12-14T19:18:00.000-05:002007-12-14T19:18:00.000-05:00While I'm sure your observation regarding the corr...While I'm sure your observation regarding the correlation between income and private school attendance in Manhattan is correct, I would be skeptical of such a direct relationship in boroughs such as Brooklyn. For example, I suspect the high concentration of private school children in the southern end of District 14 (Williamsburg) or the northern end of District 20 (Borough Park) is less attributable to a higher concentration of rich folks and is more likely a reflection of the large Orthodox Jewish populations there.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if your data mavens might consider ascertaining if my hypothesis is correct?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
