Colorado School District Boundaries and Administrative Data

Aggregated from thousands of local jurisdictions by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) Demography office. The dataset contains administrative and geospatial information for school districts, including names, mailing addresses, and boundary geometry. It was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Mapping school district service areas using the `geometry` column for spatial analysis.
• Analyzing district name changes or consolidations by examining the `prevName` and `name` fields.
• Validating or standardizing district mailing addresses for communication using `mailAddress`, `mailCity`, `mailState`, and `mailZip`.
• Filtering districts by their legal status or type via the `lgStatus` and `lgTypeId` columns.

Strengths

• Includes geospatial boundary data (`geometry` column) for mapping applications.
• Contains 16 distinct columns of administrative and locational data.
• Sourced from the authoritative state agency, the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA).

Limitations

• Data accuracy is not guaranteed as many boundaries were digitized from scanned drawings or PDFs.
• Sample size (row count) and temporal coverage are unknown, limiting statistical assessment.
