When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
UNION HILL ISD has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 74.2% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015).

Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
