Survey: Grand Forks, ND, residents more attached to community - PrairieBizMag.com
September 29, 2009
Grand Forks area-residents have grown more emotionally attached to their community in the past year, a new report from the Knight Foundation found.
Perceptions about the beauty of the area’s parks, its nightlife, the quality of its elected officials, participation in elections and even that people care about one another all improved.
This was true for all demographics, though the biggest improvements came out of the 18 and younger and 18-to-34 groups. The former’s community attachment score rose 6.2 percent and the latter’s score rose 15.2 percent.
