Methodology
We looked at all apartments in Tampa and rated them on the number of schools within a half-mile radius. We used an exponentially decreasing scale based on distance from the apartment. For instance, schools located across the street from a specific property would carry more weight than those a quarter-mile away. Our school counts come from commercially available business listings.
