Introduction In August 2017, the A.L. Burruss Institute of Public Service and Research at Kennesaw State

University conducted the “Metro Atlanta Speaks” survey on behalf of the Atlanta Regional

Commission (ARC). The Institute surveyed a total of 5,462 adult residents across 13 counties in

the metro area1. The survey incorporated both landline and cellphone telephone samples. Four

hundred completions were obtained in 12 of the counties. In Butts County, only 262

completions were obtained due to sampling limitations. Respondents in DeKalb and Fulton

counties were oversampled in order to obtain a separate sample of 400 residents of the City of

Atlanta. The final respondent total for DeKalb County was 534 (134 in the city of Atlanta), while

the final respondent total for Fulton County was 666 (266 in the city of Atlanta). Thus, a subset

of 400 Atlanta residents is available for separate analysis. Analyses of the metro-wide results,

as well as the individual results for Fulton and DeKalb counties, treat the Atlanta residents as

members of their respective counties. The results for the City of Atlanta included in the

accompanying tables are based on a separate analyses of the subset of 400 respondents from

those two counties.

The table below provides a breakdown of the number of landline and cellphone completions

obtained in each county.

1 Included in the survey were the 10 counties in the ARC’s service region (Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb,

Douglas, Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry and Rockdale counties) in addition to Butts, Coweta and Paulding

counties.

The four hundred completions in each of the 10 larger counties (not including DeKalb and

Fulton) and the city of Atlanta resulted in a margin of error within each of those entities of ±

5%. For DeKalb County, the margin of error is ± 4.3%; in Fulton the MOE is ± 3.8%. Results for

Butts County have a margin of error of ± 7%. For the metro region as a whole, the margin of

error is ± 1.3%.

Within each individual county, the data was weighted to reflect the adult population’s

distribution on gender, age, race, education and whether or not the respondent is Hispanic or

Latino. After all of the counties were weighted for these factors, the data was combined and

then weighted to reflect the relative distribution of the population across the 13 counties. For

the separate analyses of city of Atlanta residents, the respondents were weighted for the same

characteristics as the individual counties, with an additional weighting factor to reflect the city

of Atlanta’s population distribution across DeKalb and Fulton counties.

A summary of the results is provided below. Demographic frequency distributions of the

weighted sample are provided first, followed by frequency distributions for each of the

substantive questions included in the survey. These are followed by a series of tables

comparing the responses to each question by the various demographic subgroups.

In regards to the comparison of demographic subgroups, most of the results are statistically

significant at the .01 level. Results in normal black text meet this level of statistical

significance. Results expressed in green text are statistically significant at a level between .01

and .05, while results in red text do not meet the .05 minimum threshold for statistical

significance. Statistical significance simply indicates the probability that observed differences

between subgroups on any given question are a function of chance rather than some real

relationship between the two variables. Observed differences that are significant at the .05

level means that there is only a 5% probability that the observed differences are a function of

random chance. A .01 significance level means that there is only a 1% probability of the

observed differences being a function of chance.

The survey instrument is provided at the end of this document.
