The tables illustrate the results of two surveys done in 1980 and 2010, which investigated several elements of city life in a specific city. The data is displayed in percentages.
Overall, education significantly improved, with a rise in the proportion of people ranking it “good” in 2010 compared to 1980. However, the public’s impression of transport decreased, with a larger proportion ranking it as “bad” in 2010.
There was only a slight decrease in the ratings for healthcare and the environment. The proportion of those who rated healthcare as “good” changed their opinion and rated it as “bad.” Similarly, the “good” rating for the environment slightly decreased, while the “bad” rating had risen.
Shops and employment have had different outcomes. While the number of persons who rated stores as “good” fell, the percentage of those who rated them as “bad” rose. Employment, on the other hand, experienced a rise in “good” ratings while “bad” ratings decreased.
