Simulation uses the existing children 0–5 and capacity values from your District 124 dashboard model and changes only the selected ZIP’s capacity.

Method

This panel is designed to answer a legislative question in plain terms: if new childcare seats are added in a target ZIP, how much does district pressure improve? The model does not alter the child population. It changes only the seat supply in the selected ZIP, recalculates the children-to-capacity ratio for that ZIP, and compares the before-and-after result. That turns the dashboard from a static portrait into a policy engine — one that can show whether a proposed subsidy, expansion grant, or provider recruitment effort would meaningfully relieve pressure in the places carrying the heaviest burden.
