Preferred Future Based On Combined Key Topics – Cohort by ‘Where People Live’

This chart uses the data in the previous chart combines the individual responses based on where people live (example – which neighborhood).

Take a regional collaborative approach to help manage resources, utilities and climate adaptation.
Expand business diversity and innovation capability to build a year-round economy.
Proactively manage urban design to protect local character and community feel.

COMMUNITY DIRECTION – How important do you think the following approaches are to helping shape the community direction in Traverse City? SCALE: 1 = Not important; 10 = Extremely Important

Take a regional leadership approach to build the City influence in key decisions.
Invest in building the socio-economic systems to create a balanced and liveable community.

Survey participant responses were combined under the theme headings, and then plotted over the scenario framework matrix. The larger the bubble, the more responses selected on that point of the chart.

Key things to note:

The data again shows a remarkable consistency about the ‘preferred future’ between the various neighbourhood cohorts.
In addition, some 20% of the responses are from outside the city limits, however they share the same perspective about future direction.
This chart can be filtered (on the right hand side) to allow you to explore responses by different cohorts.
