Point values are assigned as follows:
Agree=3‚ Disagree=1‚ No opinion=1
Point values for all responses are summed and then divided by the total number of items. Blank items are not counted in the number of responses. Higher scores indicate higher levels of respondent satisfaction with their block as a place to live and their expectations about the future for their block.
