A boost for home values in low-income areas?

The Sun-Times has an article outlining the impact of the Chicago Public Schools system’s new policies governing admission to elite selective-enrolment public schools – and on the ways in which the policy might affect decisions on where parents choose to locate.

One impact: the new CPS policy may boost housing values in some of the city’s lowest income census tracts – some of which are found within relatively affluent neighborhoods.

Kudos to the Sun-Times for this important story, and for the useful map mashup that accompanies it.
