Census tracts here are worthless as boundaries. The population has changed and tripled in less than 30 years, but the tracts are the same. School districts are rarely a real factor. There are no real physical boundaries, no "other side of the tracks" boundary. It's just arbitrary nonsense. But not doing any secondary market allows me to state what the boundaries are without making reference to the cardinal directions.
 
I recently had an appraisal that was within walking distance of shops, cafes' etc.. a real plus in market appeal and def factors into value. So, knowing I could get dinged for saying the obvious, I just rephrased it thus: "...area wide ADA compliant side walks and cross walks proximate to ..." Of course I could always get questioned on wth is "proximate"
 
School districts are a very real factor around here. Nobody wants their kids going to school with those filthy "others".

School district is typically numero uno with those with school age children around here. Those that cannot afford the preferred school district will opt for the higher performing individual schools in the less preferred district. Either way "schools" are the primary driving factor
