Population Estimates
DPH estimates stabilization in total population at about 85,000 Despite small estimated decrease in 2018-19 (which corresponds to low
enrollment growth year), still 2% growth over last five years According to latest Census data, 12+% of population lived in a different residence
from one year ago – significant churn in population
5
Births
Significant decrease in births in 2018 preliminary totals; 9% decrease from 2017, and 15% decrease from 2016
2019 preliminary numbers (Jan – Aug) running closer to 2018 totals than previous years Large increase in births in 2016 (2021 kindergarten class) not sustained Range of projections developed using mathematical models to feed latter half of

Demographics Summary
Total population estimated to have stabilized Birth rates substantially decreased in 2018 and based on
preliminary numbers remain low in 2019 Total population trends in opposition to enrollment increases

Housing Permits (New Construction)
2019 year-to-date (Jan-Aug) appears to follow recent trend of decreasing permits 2015 permits near level of housing market bubble peak Since 2015 there has been a large drop off in multi-family permits issued

Housing Sales
Total sales are up 64% from 2011 recessionary low Since 2016, observed leveling off in total housing sales Very slight downturn in 2018, but rebound anticipated for 2019, based on Jan-Aug
sales (estimate a 6% increase year-over-year) Historically condo sales have made up on average 45% of total home sales
10
Rental Unit Vacancy Rates
Very low rental vacancy rates contribute to a strong overall local housing market
Rental vacancy rates have decreased 4% since the 2011 high and are much lower than the County and State rates
Danbury rental vacancy rates averaging 3% over last 3 years
11
Recent Housing Development
Brookview Commons, Phase II recently began construction, set to build 149 apartment units, primarily studio, one and two bedrooms
Rivington by Toll Brothers (off Saw Mill/ Mill Ridge Dist.): continued build out of 758 planned units; mix of luxury townhomes, condos, and age-restricted units
Victorian Meadows (Osborne St/ Ellsworth Dist.): recently built mixed-income and mix of supportive units, set to expand 13 additional units

The Falcao/Thomas Building was recently completed adding a total of 3 single bedroom units and 5 two bedroom units

Although sales are up from the past two years, student generation is down from single-family and 2-4 family housing units

• 7% of new-to-district students matched to home sales between 2017-18 and 2019-20
• Mill Ridge, Pembroke, Stadley Rough, and Great Plain had the most new-to-district students generated by home sales
• This includes students in grades 1-12, living in single-family and 2-4 family homes only
29
3 phases of approved development to be completed at “The Reserve” have the largest potential for student generation due to number of units
In addition to the Reserve’s 3 phases there are 11 other approved multi-family developments with 6 under construction -estimated to add 218 new units
Brookview Commons, Phase II is the most recent approved development, planning to build 149 units

11% increase in ELL students from last year with 3,341 in grades K-12 in 2019-20
56% of 2019-20 ELL students are also new-to-district – need for additional resources
Primarily concentrated in the downtown area
37
ELL Students Grades K-12 in 2019-20
• High concentration in downtown Danbury
• Of total ELL population, 16% reside in Park Ave, 12% in Ellsworth Ave, and 11% in King Street areas
38
• Add map with utilization % by district
CURRENT K-5 ENROLLMENT AND CAPACITYElementary School Utilization
• Based on 2019-20 enrollment and DPS provided building capacities
• Several districts in Danbury are over 100% capacity including Hayestown, King Street, Park Ave, Ellsworth Ave, Shelter Rock, South St. and Stadley Rough
• King Street’s utilization is an average between the primary and intermediate schools

Projections Primer The Cohort Survival Methodology Relies on Observed Data from
the Recent Past in Order to Project the Near Future Persistency Ratios Calculated From Historic Enrollment Data to
Determine Growth or Loss in a Class as It Progresses Through School System
Persistency Ratios Account for the Various External Factors Affecting Enrollments: Housing Characteristics, Residential Development, Economic Conditions, Student Transfers In and Out of System, and Student Mobility
Changes in Population, Housing Stock and Tenure, and Economic Conditions Help Explain Persistency Ratios
40
Enrollment History For the first time, all 6 elementary cohorts are larger than 900 students Larger Kindergarten cohorts that started matriculating in the 07-08 and
08-09 school years are now juniors and seniors in high school Larger than usual 9th and 11th grade classes Unusual low growth year in 2018-19 followed by unusual high growth

Projections Assumptions Federal immigration policies persist High projections: continuation of 2019-20 year trends, including in-
migration rates Medium projections: averages divergent trends of last two years Low projections: average trend of last three years Other specific assumptions built into the models:
Current private and other public school enrollment trends persist PK enrollments remain at current levels AIS Magnet total enrollment remains at 400 students starting 2019-20 Westside enrollment will be held at 250 students per grade from 2020-21
onward Hayestown Early Academy Skills classes (K) remain in place
44
Medium and high projections show continued 5-7% increase in total PK-12 enrollment over the next five years prior to stabilizing or slightly decreasing Low projections project a 3% increase over the next five years
before returning to current levels

All three models project growth in K-12 over next five years, and all three are provided for planning purposes
In-migration of students needs to be monitored closely, both in terms of net migration across grade groupings, and numbers of students entering the District for the first time
For facilities planning, recommend using the high projection model for planning, and updating regularly during design phases
Stability in most recent sales, rental vacancy and permitting activity suggests medium model best fits data; however, in-migration not necessarily responsive to these metrics
