Utrecht Resident Satisfaction Indicators for Housing and Neighborhoods

Twelve indicators from the Utrecht Population Survey measure resident perceptions of housing and neighborhood quality. The dataset is part of the 'Utrecht in Cijfers' database published by the municipality's Research & Advice department. It includes metrics like the percentage of residents who find their home too small or their neighborhood unpleasant.

Use Cases

• Model neighborhood satisfaction levels based on reported percentages for pleasantness and future outlook.
• Analyze correlations between housing maintenance perceptions and overall home dissatisfaction.
• Benchmark municipal performance on residential quality using survey-derived indicator scores.

Strengths

• Includes 12 distinct indicators covering multiple facets of residential satisfaction.
• Data originates from an official municipal Population Survey, suggesting an authoritative source.
• Published under a CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for open reuse and redistribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count, sample data, and last update date are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
