Quality of Life in Carlton <br />Most residents rated the quality of life in Carlton as "excellent" or <br />"good," which was similar to ratings in other communities across the <br />U.S. <br />Shown below are the eight facets of community. The color of each <br />community facet summarizes how residents rated it across the three <br />sections of the survey that represent the pillars of a community — <br />Community Characteristics, Governance and Participation. When most <br />ratings across the three pillars were higher than the benchmark, the <br />color for that facet is the darkest shade; when most ratings were lower <br />than the benchmark, the color is the lightest shade. A mix of ratings <br />(higher and lower than the benchmark) results in a color between the <br />extremes. <br />Le end <br />Higher than national benchmark <br />Similar to national benchmark <br />Lower than national benchmark <br />Benchmark comparison not available <br />Most important to quality of life <br />Mobility <br />Built <br />Environment <br />Overall Quality of Life <br />Excellent <br />30% <br />Poor <br />3% <br />Fair <br />17% <br />Alp Good <br />51% <br />In addition to a summary of ratings, the image below includes one or more stars to indicate which community <br />facets were the most important to residents' overall quality of life.
