georgiacivicdata.district_boundaries#

georgiacivicdata.district_boundaries(district_code=None, district=None, *, geometry=True, backend=None)#

Get school district boundaries.

The Census TIGER/Line outlines of Georgia's school districts, keyed to district codes: unified districts, the secondary-only pieces some districts serve (Fort Benning grades 9-12), and the Department of Defense districts (which have no district code).

Parameters:

  • district_code (str or list of str, optional) -- District codes. Default: every district.

  • district (str or list of str, optional) -- District names, matched to codes as in rows().

  • geometry (bool, default True) -- True returns a geopandas GeoDataFrame; False returns the attributes as a plain data frame.

  • backend ({"pandas", "polars"}, optional) -- With geometry=False, the kind of data frame to return.

Returns:

geopandas.GeoDataFrame or DataFrame -- One row per district piece, with columns district_code, district_name (for Department of Defense districts, the Census name), boundary_type ("unified", "secondary_extension" or "dodea"), district_census_id, nces_lea_id, grade_low, grade_high, tiger_geoid, tiger_name, tiger_vintage, land_area_sq_mi, area_sq_mi, the bounding box and the geometry (WGS 84).
