What this chart shows: Quality of Life 'Not a Problem' by Household Income
Data Source: Health District of Northern Larimer County, Larimer County Health Survey, 2004
What these data tell us:
The income categories are based on the poverty level and below (Poverty), above poverty to 185% FPG (Low Income), and income above 185% FPG (Above Low Income). There was a significant relationship between income and rated Quality of Life in that the higher a person's income, the more often he or she reported a positive Quality of Life. Likewise, the lower a person's income, the more likely he or she reported Quality of Life to be a problem.The Health District Community Health Survey is administered to fairly small sample sizes of racial and ethnic groups. Therefore, data aren't presented by race and ethnicity, because of their questionable applicability to Larimer County as a whole. However, as seen in the chart above, household earnings directly correlate with positive survey responses on community Quality of Life. According to the United States Census, White / Non-Hispanic residents have a higher median income than residents of other races/ethnicities, so it can be inferred that they would also rate community life as more positive than other races/ethnic group would (see Income by Racial Classification).
What this chart shows: Quality of Life 'Not a Problem' by Marital Status
Data Source: Health District of Northern Larimer County, Larimer County Health Survey, 2004
What these data tell us:
In 2004, married respondents reported positive community Quality of Life most often, compared with other marital status groups. Health Survey respondents who were single (never married), divorced or separated, or a member of an unmarried couple accounted for 32.0% of those reporting their Quality of Life as 'Not a Problem'. All these groups answered positively at a lower rate than those respondents who were widowed or married. On average, married respondents were 27.0% higher in perceiving their Quality of Life as positive. With the exception of married men, males generally rated community Quality of Life as 'Not a Problem' more often than women in every other category of marital status.
