In accordance with the Baltimore County Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance, the Office of Strategic Planning provides pupil yield factors to the Baltimore County Office of Planning. Yield factors are ratios that indicate the expected number of students a residential development will likely generate over time. Planners and developers use our yield factors when filing plans with the Baltimore County Office of Planning. Yield factors are specific to elementary, middle, and high school students, as well as to housing type, tenure (rent vs. own) and Baltimore County election district. Yield factors are not time-dependant, as a number of factors ranging from market value to construction delays can influence how slowly or quickly a development will be constructed, and the rate it will produce school-aged children.
