Note. Standard deviations indicate level of agreement in ratings across respondents (higher<br />
standard deviations indicate less agreement in respondent ratings). All ratings were made on 7-<br />
point scales where 1 = “Very poor” and 7 = “Very good”; thus, higher numbers reflect greater<br />
perceived quality. Superscripts indicate statistically significant mean quality ratings between<br />
<strong>Emmett</strong> residents and residents of other areas in <strong>Gem</strong> <strong>County</strong>.<br />
