Child poverty
Census SAIPE 2024 model estimate
About 21.0% of the 13,572 children ages 5 to 17 living within the district boundaries are in families below the poverty line (2,849 children). The estimated total population of the district area is 80,126.
Enrollment and school counts come from the NCES Common Core of Data. Spending comes from the Census Bureau's Annual Survey of School System Finances, and child poverty from Census SAIPE model estimates. Per-pupil spending is current spending (salaries, benefits, supplies and services), not construction or debt, and is shown only for districts with at least 50 students.

- Hazleton Area SD reported 13,071 students in 11 schools in the NCES Common Core of Data for 2025-2026.
- How much does Hazleton Area SD spend per student?
- In the 2023-24 school year, Hazleton Area SD spent $14,526 per student on current operations, compared with a Pennsylvania average of $21,758.
- What does per-pupil spending include?
- It is current spending for elementary and secondary education divided by fall enrollment, as published by the Census Bureau. It includes instruction, support services such as transportation and administration, and other day-to-day costs. It leaves out capital outlay for buildings and interest on debt.
- Why do some districts have no spending or poverty figures?
- Charter districts, education service agencies and other special agencies often do not report finance data separately, and Census SAIPE estimates child poverty only for geographic school districts. Values are also hidden for districts with fewer than 50 students, where a per-pupil figure can swing widely.
