17. Distribution of Returned Surveys ETC Institute provided data for the location of returned surveys (to nearest block). The results, which were also divided into three regions, can be seen in Figure III-24. This figure shows that returned surveys were well distributed throughout the City an most of the areas without survey respondents consist of unpopulated areas, including floodplain, open space, commercial, and industrial area. The regions were assigned to provide three logical groupings. The sectors, as described in Chapter II, are also shown in Figure III-24. Sectors 1, 2, and 3 represent Region 1, while Sectors 4 and 5 represent Region 2. Sectors 6, 7, and 8 represent Region 3. The regions vary greatly in population: approximately 10,000 residents in Region 1, approximately 110,000 residents in Region 2, and Approximately 60,000 residents in Region 3. Eighty-four (84) surveys were returned from Region 1, 309 from Region 2, and 338 from Region 3. Based on these numbers, one survey was returned for every 119 residents in Region 1, one for every 356 resident in Region 2, and one for every 177 resident in Region 3. These number indicate that residents of Region 2 were somewhat underrepresented in the survey results, compared to the overall population. Results by region are provided on the next few pages to show any differences in results by location for several survey questions.
