About This Study
StudyLA’s Angeleno Poll is the largest general social survey of any metropolitan area in urban America. The survey provides a unique perspective into the quality-of-life perceptions, economic concerns, overall life satisfaction, and various civic issues facing Los Angeles residents. Since 2014, StudyLA has engaged more than 20,000 residents through the survey, resulting in hundreds of thousands of hours of meaningful conversations about the future of the region.
2023 Angeleno Poll
While some questions are unchanged from year to year for the purposes of longitudinal analysis, new questions are added every year to reflect topics relevant to Angelenos today. The tenth annual survey includes questions on housing, homelessness, climate change, policing, and race relations.
Data will be released throughout the spring. Learn more about our webinars here.
