That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Cambridge Joint District a distant remainder — means Cambridge Joint District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined.

When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
