Student Population Projection Maptician includes a complete student population projection module base on a modified cohort survival system. The software allows the user to compute a district wide or school based cohort survival ratio based on historical information. The Cohort ratio is then used for developing population projections by grade for future years. once the Cohort rates have been developed, the user can then apply the rate to individual blocks in order to identify future attendance area totals by block. The projected numbers can also be used during the attendance area redistricting process. Once completed, the results can be displayed in an Excel(tm) compatible spreadsheet which includes dozens of visualization and graphing options.

In areas with uneven growth rates, Maptician enables the user to create a Block Capacity Map to be used during the projection process.
The Block Capacity Map allows users to separate areas with high growth potential from those with limited open space. Each block can be rated from 1 to 100% in capacity and be assigned a year for that capacity. Once the Block reaches its capacity year, the percent capacity is applied and the block is not allowed additional growth beyond the capacity percent.
