Neighbourhood Noise — Topline Results - HOME AND AREA

I'd like to start by asking some questions about your home and the local area.
  • Results are based on 2,066 interviews with residents aged 16+, conducted face-to-face and in-home between 27 March - 30 April 2003
  • Interviews were conducted across 128 sampling points in four urban areas -- Dundee, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Lewisham and Greenwich. A minimum of 500 interviews were conducted in each of these areas
  • All sampling points were selected on the basis of specific MOSAIC codes to control for the type of area/housing characteristics in each area (e.g. those with higher proportions of high density housing -- terraced or flats)
  • Quotas were set on age, gender and work status to ensure the study is representative of those areas where interviewing took place
  • Data are weighted to age, gender and working status to reflect the population in the four areas
  • Where results do not sum to 100, this may be due to multiple responses, computer rounding or the exclusion of don't knows/not stated
  • Results are based on all respondents unless otherwise stated
  • An asterisk (*) represents a value of less than one half or one percent, but not zero
