Happiness, Small Towns, Cities and Suburbs
Posted on Monday, March 09, 2009
Interesting Pew survey on community satisfaction:
Suburbanites are significantly more satisfied with their communities than people who live in cities, small towns or rural areas, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center's Social & Demographics Trends Project. More than 40 per cent of suburban residents rated their communities as satisfying places to live, compared with 34 per cent of urban dwellers, 29 per cent of people living in the countryside and 25 per cent of people living in small towns.
So, our pop culture glorifies places to live in the reverse order of how much people actually living there like them?
