Description
Definition
The Community Basics Index evaluates everyday life in a community, including environment, housing, and infrastructure.
Because of the functional nature of the items that make up the index, it is practical to view it as a driver of more abstract constructs such as overall satisfaction with life in a community, or the likelihood that one is to recommend the community as a place to live, or the likelihood one is to leave the community. This approach is apparent in the relationships the index has with other Gallup Worldwide Research indexes such as National Institutions and the Wellbeing indexes.
From an external perspective, the index correlates with a long list of quality of life measures, including personal communications measures, sanitation quality, the Human Development Index, child mortality and adolescent fertility rates, and poverty rates.
INDEX QUESTIONS
- In the city or area where you live, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the public transportation systems? (WP91)
- In the city or area where you live, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the roads and highways? (WP92)
- In your city or area where you live, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the quality of air? (WP94)
- In your city or area where you live, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the quality of water? (WP95)
- In your city or area where you live, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the availability of good affordable housing? (WP98)
- In the city or area where you live, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the educational system or the schools? (WP93)
- In the city or area where you live, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the availability of quality healthcare? (WP97)
INDEX CONSTRUCTION
Index scores are calculated at the individual record level. For each individual record the following procedure applies: The six items are recoded so that positive answers are scored as a "1" and all other answers (including don't know and refused) are assigned a score of "0." If a record has no answer for an item, then that item is not eligible for inclusion in the calculations. An individual record has an index calculated if it has valid scores for at least four of the seven items. A record's final index score is the mean of valid items multiplied by 100. The final country-level index score is the mean of all individual records for which an index score was calculated. Country-level weights are applied to this calculation.
RELIABILITY
The Community Basics Index has a Cronbach's alpha of .90 when aggregated at the country level.
