Thanks to many of you who responded and helped us collect data on communities using the Campbell Community Survey. The survey is still free to those who can collect a sample of 20-50 people from an urban community. (We have sufficient data from rural and suburban areas.) Here is a sampling of what we have learned so far: Married people tend to be happier about their communities than single people, especially in the areas of Financial Optimism, Safety, and General Optimism. Those who own their homes score higher than those who rent, evidence for the pervasive effects of socio-economic status on perceptions of quality of life. This applies to virtually every area on the survey -- not just Housing, but Serenity, Safety, Freedom from Drugs, and so on. Young people (under 30) tend to score lower (about one half standard deviation) than older people (over 50). This is particularly true for Environmental Protection and Tolerance, areas in which young people may simply have higher expectations than older people. Although a full report of our results is not yet ready, you can request free surveys (for up to 50 people in an urban area) by sending <all> of the following information to Sarah Speer, CCS Project Coordinator, by E-mail ([log in to unmask]) or fax (719-633-2236): Your name title organization (even if you are not conducting the survey through your organization) mailing address phone fax E-mail address. Thanks again to everyone who has helped us so far. P.S. An example survey report for a community can be found at our web site: http://www.ic.ncs.com/cds.
