The survey was administered to 558 adults in five states. Nationally, respondents said that addressing cost of living (29%), crime (21%), and housing (13%) would have the greatest benefit for their communities, followed by jobs (8%), racism/discrimination (7%) and sense of community/isolation/loneliness (7%).
The proportion of Texas respondents (15%) who said addressing racism/discrimination would have the greatest benefit was higher than in any other state (3%- 11%). Similarly, compared to all other states, more Texas respondents (12%) said that addressing childcare would have the greatest benefit. In contrast, only 3% of Texas respondents said that addressing jobs would have the greatest benefit. This was the lowest percentage of the 5 states surveyed.
