Utahns report that their quality of life has remained stable over the past four years, in spite of an improving economy.
Results published by the nonprofit Utah Foundation also show a remarkable consistency since 2011 in the level of concern state residents show for hot-button political and social issues such as air and water quality, public schools, affordable housing and employment.
The Quality of Life Index published Monday held steady for 2015 at 76.9 out of a possible 100 points, down slightly from 77.2 in 2011 and 78.2 in 2013 but not enough to be statistically significant.
Roughly 85 percent of survey respondents now rate the area where they lived as a “good” or “excellent” place.
