City of Louisville Citizen Survey <br />June 2016 <br />Survey Results <br />Quality of Life and Community <br />The 2016 City of Louisville Citizen Survey included a number of questions that can be used to paint a picture <br />of how residents view their community. Answers to questions about overall quality of life, specific community <br />characteristics and feelings of safety, are the brush strokes that contribute to a picture of a vibrant community. <br />Quality of Life <br />Residents of Louisville continue to enjoy a high quality of life. Almost all respondents felt that the overall <br />quality of life in Louisville was excellent or good (97%), a rating that was similar to previous years. Compared <br />to other jurisdictions across the nation and communities in the Front Range, Louisville's overall quality of life <br />ratings were much higher than both benchmarks (please see Appendix D: Benchmark Comparisons for a <br />complete list of comparisons). <br />Survey results were compared by respondent demographic characteristics as well as geographic area of <br />residence (Council Ward). Homeowners and those living in detached units were more likely to give positive <br />ratings to the overall quality of life in the city than were renters and those living in attached units (see <br />Appendix B: Comparison of Responses by Respondent Demographics). No differences were observed by <br />ward. <br />i00% <br />75% <br />50% <br />25% <br />o% <br />Figure s: Overall Quality of Life in Louisville <br />How would you rate the overall <br />quality of life in Louisville? <br />Excellent <br />6o% <br />Good <br />37% <br />Fair <br />3% <br />Poor <br />o% <br />Figure is Overall Quality of Life Compared by Year <br />94% <br />Report of Results <br />97% <br />97% <br />97% <br />2004 2008 2012 <br />Percent "excellent" or "good" <br />2016 <br />6 <br />12 <br />Prepared by National Research Center, Inc. <br />
