Community Direction and Community Dynamics

This chart combines responses to two questions to create an interactive scatter plot. This chart presents the results based on all respondents. You can hover over the chart to reveal more information on each circle.

The chart is structured as follows:

  • COMMUNITY DIRECTION: X-Axis is the response to the question How do you feel about the overall current direction of Liberty Hil and the changes that are occurring. The scale is: -5 = Very concerned; 0 = Neutral; +5 = Very excited
  • COMMUNITY DYNAMICS: Y-Axis is the response to the questionHow would you describe the current community dynamics of Liberty Hill? The scale is: -5 = Very divided; 0 = Neutral; +5 = very unified
  • ABILITY to ADAPT and CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES: The color gradient are responses to the question: Currently, how well equipped is Liberty Hill to adapt to future change, and to move quickly to create and seize new opportunities? The scale: -5 = Poorly equipped; 0 = Neutral; +5 = Very well equipped

Key things to note:

  • Positive views of community direction and unity tend to coincide with greater confidence in adaptability. Blue circles are concentrated toward the upper-right of the plot, while orange circles are more prevalent toward the lower-left. This suggests that confidence in managing change is connected with both optimism and community cohesion.
  • The community has two contrasting outlooks of similar size. 4% of respondents feel excited and unified, compared with 22.4% who feel concerned and divided. The Strategic Action Plan will need to establish common priorities across these differing experiences.
  • Feeling unified does not necessarily mean feeling positive about the direction of growth. The upper-left quadrant includes respondents who see community cohesion but remain concerned about Liberty Hill’s direction.
  • 3% of respondents are neutral on at least one axis, and several prominent circles along these axes are orange or light-coloured. Clear priorities and visible delivery could help build confidence among respondents.
  • The central sentiment is mixed confidence rather than a shared sense of readiness. The plot supports pairing physical improvements with community-building and transparent implementation, helping residents see both where Liberty Hill is heading and how it will get there
     
Percentages use the 286 respondents with valid ratings on both axes. Circle size represents respondent count; color represents the average adaptability rating within each circle.
