Geographic coverage: Milwaukee, United States, Tennessee, Albuquerque, Kansas City (Kansas), Kansas City (Missouri), Nashville, California, Kansas, San Diego, Baltimore, Atlanta, New Mexico, Massachusetts, Colorado, Missouri, Denver, Georgia, Maryland, Wisconsin, Boston
This study was a joint project of ten major United States cities participating in the Urban Observatory Program: Atlanta, Albuquerque, Baltimore, Boston, Denver, Kansas City, Kansas, Kansas City, Missouri, Milwaukee, Nashville, and San Diego. The survey focused on citizens' perceptions of the problems of urban life. Citizens' attitudes toward local government services and their opinions about local problems in the areas of schooling, housing, public transportation, controlled drugs, law and order, and taxes were assessed in all ten cities. Information on the socioeconomic status of the respondents, and on household composition was also elicited. Demographic data include sex, age, marital status, race, ethnicity, birthplace, level of education, and family income. Each city may be analyzed separately or may be treated as an integral part of the comparative study.
