About this Dataset

3.34 Community Health And Well-Being (summary)

This dataset comes from the Community Survey questions relating to the Community Health & Well-Being performance measure: "With “10” representing the best possible life for you and “0” representing the worst, how would you say you personally feel you stand at this time?" and "With “10” representing the best possible life for you and “0” representing the worst, how do you think you will stand about five years from now?" – the results of both scores are then used to assess a Cantril Scale which is a way of assessing general life satisfaction.

As per the Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale the three categories of identification are as follows:

Thriving – Respondents rate their current life as a 7 or higher AND their future life as an 8 or higher.
Struggling – Respondents either rate their current life moderately (5 or 6) OR rate their future life moderately (5, 6 or 7) or negatively (0 to 4).
Suffering – Respondents rate their current life negatively (0 to 4) AND their future life negatively (0 to 4).

The survey is mailed to a random sample of households in the City of Tempe and has a 95% confidence level.

This page provides data for the Community Health and Well-Being performance measure.

The performance measure dashboard is available at 3.34 Community Health and Well-Being.
