Austin_Survey_for_MDCOR_Analyses

The city of Austin has administered a community survey for the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 years (https://data.austintexas.gov/City-Government/Community-Survey/s2py-ceb7), to “assess satisfaction with the delivery of the major City Services and to help determine priorities for the community as part of the City’s ongoing planning process.” To directly access this dataset from the city of Austin’s website, you can follow this link https://cutt.ly/VNqq5Kd. Although we downloaded the dataset analyzed in this study from the former link, given that the city of Austin is interested in continuing administering this survey, there is a chance that the data we used for this analysis and the data hosted in the city of Austin’s website may differ in the following years. Accordingly, to ensure the replication of our findings, we recommend researchers to download and analyze the dataset we employed in our analyses, which can be accessed at the following link https://github.com/democratizing-data-science/MDCOR/blob/main/Community_Survey.csv.
Replication Features or Variables
The community survey data has 10,684 rows and 251 columns. Of these columns, our analyses will rely on the following three indicators that are taken verbatim from the survey:
“ID”,
“Q25 - If there was one thing you could share with the Mayor regarding the City of Austin (any comment, suggestion, etc.), what would it be?", and
“Do you own or rent your home?”
