citystats survey<br />
Is Baton Rouge really divided into four sectors with<br />
competing interests—North Baton Rouge, South Baton Rouge, Southeast Baton<br />
Rouge, and Baker/Central/Zachary? Or do the people who live in these areas, in fact, share<br />
a common vision for the future of Baton Rouge? In fall <strong>2011</strong>, a CityStats survey found the<br />
answer. Studying those four regions of the parish, the survey sample was deep enough to<br />
draw some surprising conclusions. For example, there was unexpected agreement among<br />
the majority in wanting government to spend the same amount of money—or more—on<br />
downtown over the next decade. Respondents also told us what they would support with taxes,<br />
providing clear policy directions for elected leaders. The entire survey is available at<br />
Facebook.com/BRCityStats or by requesting it from mverma@braf.org.<br />
