Who's Out? Who's In? #1 In a Series

Last night I decided to do a 'deep dive' on the makeup of the neighborhoods being impacted by the boundary changes at Indian Hills.

I started with my own development which is officially 'out' [edit - per the proposed plan], 161 homes in total: Paula Jean Park, est. 1983, proud home of the famous, longitudinally challenged, oh-so nearly alliterative Paula Jean Powerline Park.

Taking a look at the latest tax data on the WaCo Intermap site you can get a couple facts, property coordinate and latest assessment - location and value.

Average distance from homes in Paula Jean Park neighborhood being excluded
from IH boundary to the front door of the school is 808 feet, about 2 football field lengths if you include end zones.

To put that in perspective, it is 810 feet from the SW corner of the Indian Hills sport field to the front door of the school, 2 feet further.

Let me restate that for emphasis - families in Paula Jean Park being excluded are closer to the school, on average, than the back edge of the school property.

How does that make sense?
