Londoners top list of people most satisfied with where they live
Residents of built up commuter and ‘affluent’ towns, particularly those living in London, are the most satisfied with where they live, according to new research.
A new study from the think tank Demos has mapped people’s satisfaction with their local areas by measuring people’s priorities against how they rate actual provision, on issues linked to the practical necessities of daily life such as housing, transport, internet access and shopping.
Commissioned by Legal & General, the survey of a nationally representative poll of 20,000 adults found that despite a strongly stated desire for green space and nature, built up areas see the highest level of Place Satisfaction, while rural areas typically see poorer satisfaction levels.
