Event Details

A Quality of Life Survey has been done annually in Escambia County and Pensacola since 2008 and the 2022 poll results will be shared at a CivicCon Town Hall on Monday, Oct. 17 at The Rex Theatre, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.Quint Studer, founder of the Studer Community Institute, and Claire Kirchharr, Director of Community Development for Pensacola Young Professionals, will present the results. You can register for tickets to attend the free public event at this LINK.Each year the survey results are an indicator of what issues the community ranks as important as well as answering a key question: “Generally, do you think that (Escambia County/Pensacola) is heading in the right direction, or are things on the wrong track?”CivicCon is a partnership of the News Journal and the Studer Community Institute to make our community a better place to live, grow, work and invest through smart planning and civic conversation. The Quality of Life survey is one important measure to understand the progress of the community in the eyes of those that live here.The report's author defines Quality of Life “as an individual’s perception of their position in life in the context of the culture, community, and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards, and concerns.”The survey includes standardized batteries of questions concerning the factors that contribute to and define the quality of life in the community—economic conditions, job security, educational opportunities, availability of cultural displays and entertainment, safety, clean and healthy environment, a sense of community and welcoming, a shared vision and understanding of future plans for community and economic development, and effective, competent government and community leadership that plans and executes.Participants who are interviewed are chosen randomly and accurately represent the actual demographic breakdown of a community. This includes the ratios of the respondents’ gender, race, age, political affiliation and area of residence, which mirror the county’s real statistics.Pensacola philanthropists Quint and Rishy Studer established the Quality of Life Survey in 2008. They continue to fund the survey each year but have no control over its content. The purpose of the survey is to provide benchmarks of public opinion, concerns and what the community identifies as the issues of importance. In recent years, the Pensacola Young Professionals assist in curating the report.The Quality of Life survey is an independent survey tool that was developed by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy, an independent polling and communications firm with offices in Washington, D.C., and Jacksonville, FL.Mason-Dixon studies communities around the country and came up with the categories and characteristics that people perceive as having the most impact on the quality of life.
