NEIGHBORHOOD PRIDE IS ALIVE AND WELL. This is the underlying theme in answers to a question on neighborhood satisfaction gathered as part of the American Housing Survey for the United States in 1995. The housing survey includes a question asking residents to rank their neighborhood on a scale of 1 (worst) to 10 (best).

The data are of particular importance to community leaders, urban planners, home builders and residents seeking to preserve and strengthen their neighborhoods. Broad overall satisfaction with neighborhood life cut across groups, such as owners and renters, urban and rural dwellers and residents of all regions. This census brief looks at the level of neighborhood satisfaction and the problems, such as crime and traffic, which can undercut a sense of neighborhood in a community.
