Limited access to educational resources, stemming from geographical remoteness and transportation challenges, creates education deserts that impede equitable access to quality education. Recognizing these education deserts is crucial for pinpointing areas where students may face academic setbacks and for crafting specific strategies to enhance educational accessibility. This research employs bivariate choropleth maps to delineate education deserts in public middle schools in Bogor City, Indonesia, integrating data on school accessibility and student demographics. The maps highlight education desert areas in the darkest shade, revealing the top five areas characterized by low school accessibility and high student demographics. The insights derived from mapping education deserts in Bogor City contribute to the development of targeted strategies, ensuring that all students, irrespective of their location or socioeconomic background, enjoy unimpeded access to high-quality education, thereby advancing educational equity.

Research demonstrates that students who live closer to postsecondary institutions are more likely to attend college. Yet many communities offer few or no postsecondary options. In this study, we expand on prior research on the geographic distribution of postsecondary opportunity by developing a finer-grained measure that accounts for both the variety and density of college options in each metropolitan statistical area (MSA). Our estimates use several decay functions to measure the distance-weighted characteristics of institutions, allowing us to cross-validate different approaches and identify the most appropriate model to inform future analyses of geographic opportunity. The results of the cross-validation indicate that both the type of geographic measure used and the penalty in the inverse distance weighting function result in substantively different model fit. We find that each of the measures used in a spatial model—enrollment size, tuition, and net price—has a positive and statistically significant relationship with postsecondary enrollment at the MSA level, indicating the continuing importance of geographic opportunity for college attendance.
