That depends on whom you ask.
The city conducted a survey last fall asking people if they thought the city was welcoming or not. But the survey results shouldn't be taken as a purely objective determination. The results depend on the perspectives of the people being surveyed.
For example, low-income respondents found the city a lot less welcoming than did others in higher income brackets.
Diversity Council Executive Director Dee Sabol said the survey, conducted by Polco's National Research Center, represents a snapshot of the community and should be viewed as just a part of the city's cumulative data regarding race and inclusion. That information includes perspectives from community conversations recently conducted by the Diversity Council. The Destination Medical Center EDA is also expected to receive a grant to fund efforts at addressing diversity-related economic opportunities, housing and engagement.
