TYPE OF DATA REPORTED <br />What is reported in this survey is primarily mean values to question items scaled on a 1 to 9 <br />scale. In addition to the many scaled question items on City services, issues, and policies, each <br />respondent was requested to identify his/her gender, age, education level, years of residence in <br />Louisville, income level, and size of household. <br />These six key social -economic indicators, along with the pooled mean scores for each question <br />item, constitute the basis of the comparative analysis of responses discussed in the report. The <br />response rate to these social -economic background questions was quite high, as can be seen in <br />the table below. For instance, only 6.4% of the 345 returned questionnaires did not have the <br />respondent's education level entered. Indications are that the respondents took an active interest <br />in the questionnaire, and were willing to be forthcoming about background information on <br />themselves. A more detailed analysis of response patterns, by each of the six social -economic <br />indicators, is provided in Part II of this report. <br />The statistical analysis used to evaluate these six social -economic indicators involved dividing <br />each indicator into sub -categories. The sub -categories are shown in Table 5. <br />Gender <br />Male <br />Female <br />N = 141 <br />N = 183 <br />Did not give info.
