stress related to housing, neighborhood satisfaction, exposure to crime and social connectedness<strong>,<\/strong> and more. The survey also tracks consumer confidence through six questions regarding individual finances and the economy.<\/p>\n<p>This is LABarometer\u2019s second livability survey, which is based on responses from a representative panel of 1,800 L.A. County residents between Nov. 9, 2020<strong>,<\/strong> and Jan. 7, 2021. To compare livability in L.A. to the entire state of California and to the U.S., the same questions were fielded to more than 9,000 U.S. residents from Feb. 18 to March 17, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The first livability survey, referred to as Wave 1, was fielded between June and July 2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Findings<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Angelenos are less satisfied with the quality of their life, compared to people throughout California and the U.S., and the gap has widened.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On a scale of 1 (low life satisfaction) to 7 (high life satisfaction), the average life satisfaction in L.A. County is 4.3, nearly unchanged from 2019. But it\u2019s almost half a point lower than the U.S. and California average of 4.7 \u2014 double the gap observed in 2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u2022 <\/strong>Ten percent of Angelenos plan to leave L.A. County in the next year, a 40% increase from 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2019, 7% of L.A. County residents said they planned to leave Los Angeles and 16% said they planned to move to new housing somewhere else in the county.<\/p>\n<p>The new findings reveal that 10% of Angelenos now plan to move away from L.A. County while 14% plan to find new housing in the county.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 <\/strong><strong>Consumer confidence in L.A. County is rising, while it has stalled throughout the rest of California and the U.S.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On a scale of 0 to 100, where higher numbers denote more positive assessments of the economy, consumer confidence in L.A. County (50.3) remains slightly lower than the entire state of California (50.9) and the U.S. (51.8). That said, it has risen sharply since at least the middle of last year, while statewide and throughout the country, consumer confidence has stalled.<\/p>\n<p>The 50.3 consumer confidence measurement in L.A. County is down 3.3 points from June 2019 but up 2.7 from June 2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u2022 <\/strong>Angelenos perceive there to be less crime, vandalism, and drug and alcohol use in their neighborhoods than they did in 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Survey respondents were asked a series of questions about whether or not problems like drug and alcohol use, vandalism, and crime were common in their neighborhoods. Residents who perceived those to be issues in 2019 were significantly less likely to consider them to be common issues in the most recent survey.<\/p>\n<p>The one neighborhood issue that is a rising concern is loitering. There was a slight increase from 2019 in the percentage of people who perceived \u201ctoo many people hanging around streets\u201d as an issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expert analysis<\/p>\n<p><\/strong>\u201cFive months after our first LABarometer livability survey, everyone\u2019s lives were upended by COVID-19,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/cesr.usc.edu\/people\/staff\/kylathom\">Kyla Thomas<\/a>, director of LABarometer at the USC Dornsife <a href=\"https:\/\/cesr.usc.edu\/\">Center for Economic and Social\u00a0Research<\/a>. Our latest findings, which reflect the experiences of L.A. County residents during the peak of the pandemic, reveal reasons for optimism as well as concern.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s encouraging that perceptions of neighborhood crime are down and that consumer confidence in Los Angeles is rising, even as confidence has stalled in other parts of the state and nation. The 40% increase in the number of people who plan to leave Los Angeles in the coming year, however, raises a red flag. It\u2019s also worrisome that the gap in life satisfaction between L.A. County and the national average has grown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsifelive.usc.edu\/assets\/sites\/1\/imgs\/Communication\/LABarometer-Livability_study_05262021-01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/migration-uploads\/LABarometer-Livability_study_05262021-01-3493.jpg\" alt=\"Line graph indicates gap in life satifaction between L.A., California and U.S. residents widened from 2019 to 2020\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dornsifelive.usc.edu\/assets\/sites\/1\/imgs\/Communication\/LABarometer-Livability_study_05262021-02.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/migration-uploads\/LABarometer-Livability_study_05262021-02-3493.jpg\" alt=\"Bar graph shows 10% of L.A. residents plan to leave L.A.

LABarometer is made possible by the generous support of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/universityofsoutherncalifornia.createsend1.com\/t\/j-l-akitthy-vjryhmyd-f\/\">Union Bank<\/a>\u00a0through a sponsorship agreement. The agreement is funded for 10 years, with plans to expand survey participation in L.A. County over the next few years to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the region.<\/p>\n<p>The survey monitors social conditions in Los Angeles County, with a focus on four key issues: livability, mobility, sustainability and resiliency, and affordability and prosperity. By following the same residents over time, LABarometer aims to capture trends and shifts in residents\u2019 attitudes and circumstances, allowing decision-makers in the public and private sectors to better understand the evolving lives and needs of L.A. residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second annual USC Dornsife-Union Bank LABarometer livability survey also reveals that while Angelenos continue to be less satisfied with their quality of life compared to all California residents and people throughout the country, they perceive there to be less crime, vandalism, and drug and alcohol use in their neighborhoods than they did in 2019. <strong>[5 min read]<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":1615,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[70,64,226,225,181,90],"class_list":["post-1612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-social-impact","tag-academy-in-the-public-square","tag-center-for-economic-and-social-research","tag-kyla-thomas","tag-labarometer","tag-los-angeles","tag-sociology"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Angelenos plan to leave L.A.
