That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means DECA PREP-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary.

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