The California State University, Northridge Service Area Research Project
(SARP) is a program of the University's Office of Institutional Research,
operating in cooperation with the Department of Geography. The
program began in 1995 as an integral part of Institutional Research's
comprehensive restructuring. Its mission, to investigate the essential
attributes of the University's service area - an area extending over much
of Los Angeles and Ventura counties
and touching upon San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange counties, is
one of great importance. If the University wishes to serve
its members in an intelligent, efficient, and distinguished manner
during the next decade and century, it must be thoroughly
informed of the region’s complex demographic landscapes, and
changes within its diverse and distinct populations.
combines the advantages of decision support systems, executive
information systems, and data warehouses optimized for an academic
and research environment. The Strategic Management System directly
improves Institutional Research’s productivity and innovation by
facilitating research and analysis endeavors.
Data used in this publication were acquired from the Student and
Human Resource Management System, the United States Bureau of the
Census, the Wessex and GDT Street files, and the Claritas Corporation, a
nationally known company providing current data appropriate for
demographic and marketing research. Statistical tables from this
corporation, the 1990 United States Census, and student records were
digitally processed, analyzed, and displayed by the Department of
Geography and Institutional Research.
In its initial stages, the project is defining the broad geographic
patterns of population, educational attainment, wealth, ethnicity, and
other socioeconomic conditions that promise to challenge the campus
community in years to come. It also is analyzing whom the University
serves and where its students come from. Such information is essential
if those responsible for the University, be they faculty, administrators,
staff, and/or legislators, are to make informed decisions on a broad
range of strategic issues.
The Department of Geography was instrumental in defining the service
area and regions, in creating service area base maps that show defining
physical features such as streets, tracts, schools, etc., and in developing
a prototype publication series that tests the feasibility of employing
technology to better understand the University's service area residents.
It also created an integrated digital mapping system that shows all of
metropolitan Southern California, the actual service area of the
University containing ninety percent of its students, and each of five
geographically defined service regions contained in the service area.
One essential part of any intelligent information management
environment is the ability to distill vast quantities of statistical data
into brief, meaningful forms for effective analysis, communication, and
administrative action. To facilitate this particular function, a core
stand-alone computing environment was created to serve the special
needs of a modern Office of Institutional Research. The California State
University, Northridge Strategic Management System (SMS) combines
the advantages of decision support systems,
The new data acquisition and information delivery systems developed
for this project have laid the groundwork for further maps, tables,
reports, and service area atlases. Eventually, a web site will also be
created and made accessible to members of the campus community
and its constituents.

SUMMARY
This publication presents four dimensions of the general characteristics of
the distribution of California State University Northridge's student
population in the Fall of 1995. The first section presents data on actual
attendance by ZIP code or census tract for 1995 and 1990. The second
section shows the distribution of all persons enrolled in college in 1990.
To better visualize what proportion of all 18-year olds are attending a
college, the third section presents maps of the percent of persons aged 18
and older enrolled in a college. The fourth section attempts to better
define what proportion of all students attend California State University
Northridge. The section and atlas culminate in three color maps which
compare enrollments at Northridge to neighboring state universities.
These maps clearly demonstrate in what areas the Northridge campus
predominates.
Student addresses were aggregated into census tracts so that the student
data might be better related to demographic information published by
the U.S. Bureau of the Census. In addition, student data from UCLA and
the neighboring CSU campuses were processed in order to define
transitional areas between California State University Northridge and those
campuses. All mapped data are presented by census tract unless
otherwise specified.
The maps reflect the mailing addresses of the students and may not reveal
the origin of the student. A large number of students live near the
campuses especially in apartments, but they likely moved there from
some other location. A number of students did not provide a street
address, but used a post office box which could not be address matched.
In general, California State University Northridge like many of the CSU
schools draws heavily from the surrounding area. Outside the San
Fernando Valley the communities of Simi Valley, Ventura, Oxnard, Santa
Clarita and Lancaster contribute a large number students.
Students live an average of 12.6 miles from the Northridge campus and
tend to live more north and west of the campus than south and east of
it. The distance may be slightly inflated from normal since at the time of
the survey many of the large apartment buildings around the campus
were still closed because of the 1994 earthquake. As a comparison, all
faculty and staff live an average of 9.7 miles from the campus. Relatively
few students have indicated addresses outside the Los Angeles-Ventura
County area.
When the 1995 data are compared to the 1990 data nearly all census
tracts show a drop in attendance. This is likely due to a series of factors
including declines in the local and national economy, several years of
increased tuition, out migration from Los Angeles County, and the 1994
earthquake. Increases are shown at the campus due to the opening of
student housing and in a few fringe areas.
When compared to the neighboring State campuses (USC was not
included), the Northridge campus attracts the majority of students from
throughout the San Fernando Valley, northern Los Angeles County and
Ventura County. An exception occurs in the Westlake-Thousand Oaks
portion of Ventura County where UCLA attracts virtually all the students.
In some census tracts this amounts to over 20 students. An examination
of the data reveals a number of Northridge students with Thousand Oaks
addresses, but all are located at post offices. Even when UCLA
enrollments are omitted, other CSU campuses out draw Northridge in
this area although the numbers are only one to three students. With
UCLA enrollments omitted, California State University Northridge's area of
influence extends southward over the Santa Monica Mountains to Marina
Del Rey and West Hollywood.
Chapter 1
CSU, Northridge Student Population
of Fall, 1995
5
In determining the student population at California State Northridge
in Fall 1995, the Office of Institutional Research Strategic
Management Systems used information downloaded from the
University’s Student Information Management System (SIMS). While
these files may not be a true indication of students’ origins (reported
addresses included student housing, apartments, and post office
boxes), the information is a true reflection of the students’ area of
residence during Fall, 1995.
The majority of students attending California State University,
Northridge in 1990 and 1995 lived in close proximity to the campus.
Nearly sixty percent of students originated in the San Fernando Valley
portion of Los Angeles County, and about sixteen percent lived in zip
codes immediately surrounding the campus. A high percentage of
students resided in local apartments and student housing. For
example, in the combined region of zip codes 91325 and 91330,
eighty-five percent of students lived in such complexes.
The data files were geocoded, or assigned locations, in several ways.
First, students were aggregated by reported zip codes. Second, the
latitude and longitude of each address within Los Angeles and
Ventura counties was determined using ArcView software and street
files purchased from GDT Incorporated. From this process, 21,356 of
the students were successfully matched. The encompassing census
tract was then determined for each latitude and longitude value.
Finally, the straight line distance to the campus was computed. All of
this information was appended to the students’ records.
Table 1 shows attendance ranked by zip code. Zip 91325, which
contains the campus, and zip 91330, a special code assigned to the
campus, were the largest contributors of students. These zip code
areas extend from Devonshire Boulevard on the north to Roscoe
Boulevard on the south, and from Reseda Boulevard on the west to
Balboa Boulevard on the east. Zip 91324 extends west from Reseda
Boulevard.
Table 1. CSUN Attendance from Top 15 ZIP Codes in 1995
In Fall 1995, enrollment at California State University, Northridge
stood at 25,153. Based upon the above method of geocoding,
Institutional Research determined that 23,747 of Cal State
Northridge’s students were located in the five-county area of Los
Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura. Though
attendance dropped off quickly with increased distance from campus,
California State University, Northridge drew well from the areas of
Simi Valley in Ventura County and Santa Clarita to the north. In the
south, where competition exists from the University of California at
Los Angeles, the University of Southern California, California State
University, Los Angeles, and a number of private institutions, the
draw was considerably less.

Figure 1 on the left shows the distribution of students for areas outside of
CSU, Northridge's service area. Similar to the attendance around the campus,
enrollment is higher for the nearby counties of San Diego, Santa Barbara and
Kern and less for the more distant counties to the north.

CSUN Students
Attendance from other states was also generally low, with Massachusetts
sending the most students. Note: Due to the fact that some students
registered their local address, rather than their originating address,
out-of-state, or foreign reported totals may be lower than actual.
The average distance to California State University, Northridge was computed
using the matched-addresses in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Each bar
in Figure 2 represents the number of students that lived within one-mile rings
surrounding the campus. The first large dip in the bars can be attributed to
the presence of mountains at the edge of the San Fernando Valley. In
1990-95, the nearest Ventura County students lived 7.5 miles from the
campus.

Since each incremental ring encompasses more area, the density of students
was also computed, and is represented by the heavy black line. Its sharp drop
attests to the rapid drop-off in attendance given increased distance/travel
time.

It is important to note that when the map at right was produced,
many of the large apartment complexes near the campus on
Lassen and Reseda were still closed or undergoing repairs from
the January, 1994 earthquake. Student housing, however, was still
in operation (as indicated by the large squares along Zelzah
Avenue).

While groups of students lived in apartments throughout the

Only one apartment complex (with a residency of ten students)
near Ventura and Lindley, exceeded the occupancy cutoff of four
students.

Chapter 2
College Market
1990
The SARP map at left, as well as the regional maps following, detail
the number of persons attending college in 1990 (as reported by
the US Census). Large population clusters can be seen centering
around college campuses, particularly in Westwood near the
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and the area west of
Downtown (near the University of Southern California (USC). A
large number of students can also found along a band running from
Hollywood eastward through Glendale to Pasadena.
With regards to the San Fernando Valley, 1990 college attendance
was higher near the Northridge campus, and lower in outlying areas
such as Encino, West Hills, and Porter Ranch. Numerous Valley
locations, in fact, recorded lower levels of attendance than other
parts of the service area. Documented attendance in Santa Clarita,
for instance, was comparatively high.

College Market Attraction
1990
The percentage maps of persons eighteen years of age or older
enrolled in a college in 1990 are similar to the maps that detail the
actual number of persons enrolled in a college. High percentages of
students occur near California State University, Northridge, and the
University of California,Los Angeles and the University of Southern
California (CSUN, UCLA, and USC respectively).

Data: Percentages are shown only for tracts with at least 20 total students.
The estimate of students was computed by dividing the number of persons enrolled in college
in 1990 by the number of persons 18 years of age and older. This proportion was multiplied by
the Claritas estimate of the number of persons 18 years of age and older in 1995 to get an estimate
of the number of students enrolled in college in 1995. The number of students enrolled at
CSU, Northridge in the Fall of 1995 was divided by the estimated number of students in 1995
to get an estimate of the percent of students attending CSU, Northridge in the Fall of 1995.
Chapter 4
CSU, Northridge Market Penetration
Fall, 1995
While California State University, Northridge attracted a large number
of students in Fall 1995, it still only captured a percentage of the total
population. In order to determine this percentage (no census figures
were available), the following calculations were made:
1) The number of students attending college in 1990 within each
census tract was divided by the number of persons eighteen years of
age or older. This yielded the proportion of students attending college
(P1). 2) Making the assumption that the same proportion of students
would also attend college in 1995, the estimated number of persons
eighteen years old and older in 1995 (Claritas, Inc.) was multiplied by
the proportion (P1) to get a 1995 estimate of the number of persons
attending college. 3) The number of students attending this campus in
1995 was then divided by the estimated number of persons attending
college to get a rough estimate of the percentage of all students
attending California State University, Northridge.
The SARP map at left and succeeding region maps suggest that
California State University, Northridge is drawing a greater proportion
of students from the northern and western portions of the San
Fernando Valley. In 1990-95, about fifteen to twenty percent of
California State University, Northridge’s students came from these
areas. Other areas of high percentage were found in Hollywood,
Glendale, Simi Valley, and Santa Clarita.
Three final maps compare attendance at California State University
Northridge to that of neighboring state universities. The first (Page 34)
map shows those students attending UCLA and the California State
Universities at Northridge, Los Angeles, and Dominguez Hills. The
second map indicates with a color the university that draws the
majority of students. The percent of students drawn to a campus is
indicated by the intensity of the color. This map clearly indicates where
the transition areas are between the campuses. Generally students
congregate around the nearest campus. However, most students in
the Westlake-Thousand Oaks area attend UCLA rather than
Northridge. An examination of the data reveals that a number of
Northridge students have a Thousand Oaks post office box, but none
have street addresses.
The final map presents only student attendance at one of the CSU
campuses. With UCLA removed Northridge extends its area of
influence southward to Marina Del Rey and West Hollywood.

Percentages are shown only for tracts with at least 20 total students.
The estimate of students was computed by dividing the number of persons enrolled in college
in 1990 by the number of persons 18 years of age and older. This proportion was multiplied by
the Claritas estimate of the number of persons 18 years of age and older in 1995 to get an estimate
of the number of students enrolled in college in 1995. The number of students enrolled at
CSU, Northridge in the Fall of 1995 was divided by the estimated number of students in 1995
to get an estimate of the percent of students attending CSU, Northridge in the Fall of 1995.
