For this reason, the <br />questionnaire included optional demographic questions, allowing the project team to measure its success in <br />reaching diverse communities. The majority of participants provided some demographic information, even if <br />they did not complete all of the questions in that section. <br /> <br />At the community events in June almost 95% of attendees filled out the demographic section, and most of those <br />people answered all or most of the questions. The online version of the questionnaire also had a high response <br />rate for demographic information, and everyone answered at least one of the demographic questions. The <br />targeted outreach events were different because the questionnaire was conducted verbally at some events, and <br />in these cases participants were not asked their demographic information in order to encourage more people to <br />participate. The nature of certain outreach events allowed staff to infer certain demographic information. For <br />example, outreach to residents at an affordable housing complex allowed the respondents to be categorized by <br />neighborhood and income level. Some participants offered their demographic information, especially if it <br />impacted their questionnaire responses. We were able to collect some demographic information for over 90% <br />of targeted outreach participants, though in most cases it was only the answer to one or two of the <br />demographic questions. <br /> <br />Results by Neighborhood <br />Residents who live outside the urban growth boundary (UGB) were invited to an outreach event at Awbrey Park <br />on August 1, 2018, where they filled out the questionnaire. In addition, 12 residents who live outside the UGB <br />took the online version of the questionnaire. Below are the results of our outreach by neighborhood. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />River Road, 170, <br />46% <br />Santa Clara, 172, <br />47% <br />Santa Clara <br />(Outside UGB), 24, <br />7% <br />Neighborhood <br />November 19, 2018, Work Session – Item 2
