Depending on where you live, the best public schools can often be accessed only by address, and are quite often limited to homes (not apartments). So yes, depending on where you live, housing costs are a big part of child raising costs.

Interesting! I had never heard about this. Do you have a source for it?

I'd imagine that it'll be that only houses exist in the catchment area.

In my city, I would imagine less than 10% in the good school district are renters. Maybe 40% at the mid level district and 70% at the bad district. Not sure how exactly to get this stat out, as itβs not directly reported. Qualifying for free lunch is reported, and the districts vary 10% vs 50%. From that you could maybe extract our rental vs owner rates.
