Meta-analysis of what?

Community Reviews (CR’s) include:Pre-review surveysVisits to the community

○ Listening sessions○ Three focus areas with teams○ Tours, meetings, meals, discussions

Community Review Report to summarize

Surveys were quantitative and extensive

Analysis Statistics

26 of 31 communities had

surveys analyzed

Geographically well distributed 74 questions on average per survey

Each survey customized to community 212 unique questions on Likert scales

Open ended questions excluded

Forming “Meta-questions” Within survey compressions

Average “Number of banks” & “Quantity of banks” into a “Number / quality of banks”

Average similar questions (Elementary & High School education to make K-12)

Multiple survey compressionsCombine “Quality of library” and “Condition

of library” from different surveys into “Quality of library”

Meta-question Statistics

Condensed 212 questions to 67 meta-questions

Excluded questions with <6 communities

15 communities on average for each 3500 respondents on average for each

meta-question

Population / Remoteness Correlations

Page 12: Josh Hightree. Background  How did I get involved with this project?  Center for Resilient Rural Communities Funded attendance at Aberdeen Community.

Population Themes

Smaller communities lacked manufactured / built capital

Smaller communities possessed greater social capital

There were “cliffs” where impacts seemed to escalateShown on handout as > or < population

Temporal Correlations

Page 14: Josh Hightree. Background  How did I get involved with this project?  Center for Resilient Rural Communities Funded attendance at Aberdeen Community.

Temporal Correlations

Perceived sliding of educational quality

Housing availability and condition both down, with condition shifting in ~2005

Surprisingly few other correlations Supports the use of averages of the 14

years to find themes

Spatial Correlations

Relatively little correlation throughout the stateSupports the state-wide nature of the

themes

Spatial differences driven by Remoteness / PopulationHowever, central Idaho is more remote
