High prices, homelessness, rising crime and health concerns are taking their toll on quality of life in Los Angeles, according to one UCLA study.
High prices, homelessness, rising crime and health concerns are taking their toll on the quality of life in Los Angeles County, with a UCLA survey revealing the lowest level of residents' overall satisfaction in the survey's seven-year history.
The Quality of Life Index, measured in a survey led by the Los Angeles Initiative at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs and released Friday, dipped to an overall rating of 53 -- on a scale from 10 to 100. This year's score was down from 58 last year, and it marked the first time the rating has ever fallen below the survey's median of 55 since the measurement began in 2016.
"For the first time since the inception of this survey, respondents' ratings dropped in each of the nine categories, and eight of the nine fell to their lowest rating ever," Zev Yaroslavsky, director of the Los Angeles Initiative, said in a statement. The report's authors noted that overall satisfaction had remained relatively stable over the survey's lifetime, even during the past two years of the pandemic. But things have somehow spiraled downward.
