Who enrolls depends in part on the location and funding of community colleges…
![Page 3: California Community College Participation Maps](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070319/557d2f0ad8b42a5a448b5285/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
…participation also depends on what the college offers and how it is promoted…

…and it depends on many other factors too, including: The programs and
courses offered Class schedules Preparation and
advising at area high schools
Counseling by the college
Admissions and registration processes
Deadlines, waiting lists
Reputation of the college, the program, the instructors
Parking, traffic, and public transportation
Financial aid staffing and approach
Athletics Diversity, language Friends & relatives

600 and above
500-600
400-500
300-400
Below 300
As a result of all of these factors and more, the intensity of community college enrollment varies across the state
FTE per 10,000 adults:
Highest
Lowest
Average

What about need?
We should perhaps be concerned that Oakland’s impoverished Fruitvale area has only average community college participation.

But it is neither surprising nor worrisome that relatively few people in San Francisco’s tony Pacific Heights area take community college classes.

The interactive map allows us to show only the areas with greater need
Here, we exclude zip codes where a large proportion of the adults already have college degrees (40% of more with an associate’s degree or higher)

L.A. – Inland – Orange showing all zips
Note of caution: geographically large areas like these up here often have very small populations

L.A. – Inland – Orange low attainment zips only (<30%)

Also needy but not going
High rates of CCC enrollment
50,000 adults, ¾ Black and Latino,only 18% with degrees.
26,000 adults, 39% Black and Latino,only 24% with degrees.
36,500 adults, 94% Black and Latino,only 9% with degrees.
In the high-enrollment zips, more than a third of the students are attending College of the Canyons 37 miles to the northwest!

With the less needy areas now showing, you can see heavy participation from Santa Monica and Glendale. (Note: need is measured by community—the students from these areas are not necessarily less needy.)

College location does make a difference, especially in more remote areas like these in far northern California

Draft policy recommendations Establish participation targets by area, taking
attainment and other need factors into consideration.
Create financial incentives for colleges to enroll and successfully serve adults from needy areas.
Allow colleges to establish locations outside of their technical district boundaries.
Enlist assistance from high schools and outreach programs in high-need low-participation areas.
