Comparative Revenue Per Member

The Comparative Revenue Per Member measure is a calculation that compares revenues received by districts from four sources: federal, state, local property tax, and local miscellaneous.

Effective with the 2007-08 computation, Comparative Revenue reflects revenues for just district residents. Prior to this change, both resident and non-resident revenues appeared in the Comparative Revenue numbers. This change was done to bring Comparative Revenue into congruence with the methodology used for Comparative Cost, which reflects costs for district residents. (For a discussion of "Membership," see the Comparative Cost and Revenue Homepage.)
