Discover the soul of your community

Great schools, affordable health care and safe streets all help create strong communities. But is there something deeper that draws people to a city – that makes them want to put down roots and build a life?
This study explores a less tangible, yet more profound ingredient: a community’s soul. Conducted by Gallup in 26 cities and funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the three-year effort measures the emotional factors that make people passionate about – and loyal to – their communities.
