Quality of Life in <br />Ramsey <br />Overall Quality of Life <br />Excellent <br />About 8 in 10 residents rated the quality of life in Ramsey as excellent 18% 1 <br />or good. This was similar to ratings given in other communities across <br />the nation (see Appendix B of the Technical Appendices provided under Poor1111111 <br />separate cover). 2% <br />Good <br />63% <br />Shown below are the eight facets of community. The color of each Fair] <br />community facet summarizes how residents rated it across the three 17% <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 color for that facet is the darkest shade; when <br />most ratings were lower than the benchmark, the color is the lightest shade. A mix of ratings (higher and lower <br />than the benchmark) results in a color between the extremes. <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 focus areas for the community. As in 2016, residents identified Safety and <br />Economy as priorities for the Ramsey community in the coming two years. All facets of community livability were <br />rated positively and similar to the national benchmark. This overview of the key aspects of community quality <br />provides a quick summary of where residents see exceptionally strong performance and where performance offers <br />the greatest opportunity for improvement. Linking quality to importance offers community members and leaders <br />a view into the characteristics of the community that matter most and that seem to be working best. <br />Details that support these findings are contained in the remainder of this Livability Report, starting with the <br />ratings for Community Characteristics, Governance and Participation and ending with results for Ramsey's <br />unique questions. <br />Legend <br />■ Higher than national benchmark <br />Similar to national benchmark <br />Lower than national benchmark <br />Most important <br />Safety <br />Natural <br />Environment <br />Mobility <br />Built <br />Environment <br />Economy <br />2 <br />Recreation <br />and Wellness <br />Education and <br />Enrichment <br />Community <br />Engagement <br />
