Abstract	Despite Indiana's school choice landscape -- including private school vouchers, tax-credit scholarships, inter-district and intra-district enrollment, magnet schools, and charter schools -- not all Indiana communities have reasonable access to options outside of their traditional public schools. This research explores what lack-of-reasonable access differences -- defined as greater than a 30-minute one-way drive time to a choice school -- exist by locale, with a focus on rural communities. Geospatial analysis is used to identify "school choice deserts" lacking multi-sector schooling options in various communities. These deserts tend to exist wholly or mostly in rural areas, although Indiana students in grades K-8 exhibit greater access levels to non-traditional schools than those in high school. (As Provided).
