UW - Madison Applied Population Laboratory
UW-Madison Applied Population Laboratory
The Applied Population Laboratory (APL) is a group of research and outreach professionals, within the University of Wisconsin-Madison, dedicated to providing the best demographic analyses available. One of our premier programs is the School Enrollment Projections Program. To assist school administrators, business managers, and strategic planners, school demographers provide enrollment projections projects. Our central models are based on cohort component projection methodology, but we modify the models to meet the needs of individual school districts. Districts may customize a detailed demographic study to include projections for facilities or financial planning. Alternative models based on housing development, open enrollment, attendance area changes, or other scenarios may also be requested.
