The first is a set of social, environmental and economic indicators that portray the quality of life in the region&rsquo;s communities. The second type of information comes from an annual household survey conducted by Temple&rsquo;s Institute for Survey Research, asking respondents across the region how they assess the quality of life in their communities. Tracking over time the changes in the indicators and in the survey responses, we can better understand how citizens&rsquo; perceptions relate to the changing conditions on the ground.</span></p><p> </p>
