WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING??
In the latest iHeard survey, Atlanta residents were asked, “Many things affect the lives of people living in Atlanta. If you could address one of the challenges below, which do you think would have the greatest benefit for Atlanta?” Respondents selected from nine issues known as social determinants of health.
Key findings:
Addressing “cost of living” was selected by 40% of respondents, followed by housing (20%), jobs (13%), and sense of community or isolation/loneliness (8%).
Women were more likely than men to prioritize cost of living (42% vs. 30%), as were people with children in their household compared to those without (49% vs. 33%).
People without children in their household were more likely than those with children to select housing (28% vs. 11%), while those with children were more likely to select jobs (19% vs. 8%).
