Results of 2015 Poll of Residents Released

June 15, 2016

The results of the RDI’s annual poll of residents are now available.
Each year, the Columbia Basin Rural Development Institute (RDI) conducts a telephone survey of residents of the Columbia Basin-Boundary region. Undertaken as part of the State of the Basin initiative, the poll forms a component of the RDI’s research into trends and conditions related to well-being in the Basin-Boundary. In past years, the goal of the survey has primarily been to understand residents’ perceptions of well-being in their community. This year, survey design also emphasized understanding residents’ experiences and behaviours related to important well-being topics.
Highlights include:

25% of respondents feel they are better off financially as compared to 6 months ago (down from 34% in 2014)
most poll respondents spend at least 5 screen hours outside of work
85% of respondents planned to vote in the 2015 federal election
Half of respondents donated over $100 to charities and non-profits
78% of respondents indicated they are now seeing impacts of climate change in the region

This report provides detailed results from this year’s poll of residents.
