1 City of Lethbridge 2014 Community Satisfaction Survey Key Findings August 2014
2 Background and Methodology Ipsos Reid conducted a telephone survey with a randomly selected sample of 400 residents of Lethbridge aged 18 years and older between May 7th and 30th, pre-test interviews were completed on May 7th, while the remaining 345 interviewers were conducted between May 22nd and 30th. The average interview length was 16.4 minutes. The margin of error for the total sample of 400 is ± 4.9 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. The margin of error is larger within regions and for other sub-groupings of the survey population. Final data were weighted to reflect the relative size of each region in Lethbridge (i.e. North, South and West) according to 2013 Municipal Census data, as well as to ensure the age/gender composition reflects that of the actual Lethbridge population aged 18 or older according to 2011 Federal Census data. Where possible, results are compared to 2011, 2008 and 2005 Community Satisfaction Survey findings. 2
