[The chapter presents a case study illustrating how secondary analysis of aggregated spatial data is used to determine spatial variations in objective attributes of quality of life (QOL) across a large metro region in the USA. A set of QOUL attributes covering separate communities in the metro area are analyzed. The case study also uses longitudinal data on from previous household surveys in the metro area in weighting QOL attributes.

Abstract

[The chapter presents a case study illustrating how secondary analysis of aggregated spatial data is used to determine spatial variations in objective attributes of quality of life (QOL) across a large metro region in the USA. A set of QOUL attributes covering separate communities in the metro area are analyzed. The case study also uses longitudinal data on from previous household surveys in the metro area in weighting QOL attributes. The chapter discusses some of the methodological issues encountered in conducting this type of objective analysis including using the survey data to generate weighted aggregations of QOL attributes in order to rank communities by their overall QOL.]
