“What is a like demographic pool ?”

Compare a population of kids from homeschool families and public school families - where both are 2-parent familes, same income ranges, and same educational attainment.

These would be “like demographic pools” for statistical purposes.

Comparing white, 2-parent middle class parents with college degrees with a pool of single parent, poor families with GED’s would yield an irrelevant statistical comparison (for deciding which type of education is “best”)
