Long Islanders: Who are we?
Aquality of life survey of Long Island and the New York Metropolitan Region
This survey was commissioned by the Rauch Foundation as a first step in
understanding what Long Islanders think about the region and its place
in the New York metro area. The poll explores the perceptions of
residents about Long Island’s identity, quality of life, environment,
transportation, public services and social capital. The survey results
show that Long Islanders have a more cohesive identity than has been
realized, while remaining strongly attached to their local communities
and institutions. The findings also indicate that most Long Islanders
enjoy a high quality of life and have good public services, but this is
not the case for all. The results point to a clear set of concerns
that are specific to the Island, including over development and
automobile use.
