From Crain's Detroit Business:
A Gallup study released today found that residents’ emotional attachment to the Detroit area has actually increased slightly in 2009, in spite of the economy.
The Miami-based John S. and James L. Knight Foundation is funding a three-year “Soul of the Community” study in Detroit and 25 other areas where its founders owned newspapers.
Gallup has found a significant correlation between residents’ emotional connection to where they live and the GDP growth in those 26 communities.
