Preface

Listening and Learning 2004 A–i

PrefaceThis Appendix to Listening and Learning 2004

(Appendix) contains the data used for the indicators presented in the main report. The data are drawn from two main sources. These include administrative records compiled by federal, state and local government agencies and private organizations and the Knight Community Surveys conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates (PSRA) in the 26 communities and the nation in 1999 and 2002.

The Appendix contains the same organization as the main report. The first Appendix chapter contains the tables used in Chapter 1 – Community Context. The remaining Appendix chapters contain tables for indicators in each area supported by Knight Foundation’s Community Partners Program. These chapters are: Appendix Chapter 2 – Economic Development; Appendix Chapter 3 – Housing and Community Development; Appendix Chapter 4 – Civic Engagement/Positive Human Relations; Appendix Chapter 5 – Vitality of Cultural Life; Appendix Chapter 6 – Education; and Appendix Chapter 7 – Well-Being of Children and Families.

Each table in the Appendix is organized in the following way. The primary data for the indicator appear in the first column following the community name. Associated indicators are then presented from left to right in the order in which they are discussed in the report. The only exceptions to this order are found in the chapter on Education, where community-level data are presented on the far left and school district-level data are presented on the right.

The Appendix concludes with a section on the methodology used to conduct the 2002 Knight Community Survey and a copy of the core questionnaire used in the 26 Knight communities and the national survey. Omitted from the Appendix are the custom questions used in each of the Knight community surveys.

Further information about the Community Partners Program and Listening and Learning 2004 can be obtained on Knight Foundation’s website at http://www.knightfdn.org. The website also contains other community reports and information on the Foundation’s local grant-making.

Note: The “percent minority population” is equal to the population not self-identified as White, non-Hispanic. The “sum of minority populations” is the summed percentages of people who identified themselves as belonging to one of the following racial/ethnic groups: American Indian, Asian, Hispanic and black. There are two reasons the “percent minority population” does not equal the “sum of minority populations.” First, working to deflate the sum figures, people who identified themselves as belonging to “some other race” or “two or more races” are not included in the sum. Second, according to the Census, Hispanics can be of any race, so some Hispanics are likely double-counted in the sum calculation. This works to inflate the sum figure. Although the “percent minority population” is a more accurate representation of the size of the minority population in a community, it cannot be disaggregated by race.

Methodology for National Survey

Musician Sue Jones gives students at the Yorkship School in Camden, N.J., tips on playing the marimbas. An education program sup-ported by a Knight grant to the Settlement School of Music brought her to the school.

Survey Methodology for National Survey


SURVEY METHODOLOGY The survey results are based on telephone interviews with a nationally representative sample of 1,211 adults 18 and older living in telephone households in the continental United States. Interviews were completed in either English or Spanish, according to the preference of the respondent. The interviews were conducted from Jan. 2-27, 2002.

Sample Design The sample is based on a disproportionately stratified random-digit sample of telephone numbers. A disproportionate, rather than a proportionate, sample was used so that the final sample of completed interviews would contain a disproportionately large number of African-American and Hispanic respondents.

To achieve this oversampling, telephone numbers were grouped into strata based on the racial and ethnic characteristics of their telephone exchange and each stratum was sampled at a different rate. For example, telephone exchanges that serve geographic areas that are densely populated with African-American and Hispanic households were grouped together in “high-density” strata and numbers in these strata had the highest probability of selection. On the other hand, telephone numbers in areas with predominately white non-Hispanic households were grouped together in “low density” strata and these numbers had the lowest probability of selection. Altogether, five strata were used in this design and each was sampled at a different rate. The data are weighted in analysis to remove the disproportionality of the selection rates by stratum and to make the data fully representative.

The sample for this survey was designed to produce a representative sample of telephone households in the continental United States. The selected sample is a random digit sample of telephone numbers selected from telephone exchanges in the continental United States and was drawn by Survey Sampling, Inc. of Westport, Connecticut following PSRA's specifications.

The random digit aspect of the sample is used to avoid “listing” bias. The design of the sample ensures this representation by random generation of the last two digits of telephone numbers selected on the basis of their area code, telephone exchange (the first three digits of a seven digit telephone number), and bank number (the fourth and fifth digits).

Within each stratum telephone exchanges were selected with probabilities proportional to their size. The first eight digits of the sampled telephone numbers (area code, telephone exchange, bank number) were selected proportionally by county and by telephone exchange within county. That is, within each stratum the number of telephone numbers randomly sampled from within a given county is proportional to that county's share of telephone numbers in the U.S. Only working banks of telephone numbers are selected. A working bank is defined as 100 contiguous telephone numbers containing one or more residential listings.

The sample was released for interviewing in replicates, which are random subsamples of the larger sample. Using replicates to control the release of sample to the field ensures that the complete call procedures are


followed for the entire sample. The use of replicates also ensures that the regional distribution of numbers called is appropriate. Again, this works to increase the representativeness of the final sample.

At least 10 attempts were made to complete an interview at every sampled telephone number. The calls were staggered over times of day and days of the week to maximize the chances of making a contact with a potential respondent. All interview breakoffs and refusals were re-contacted at least once in order to attempt to convert them to completed interviews. In each contacted household, interviewers asked to speak with the “youngest male, 18 years of age or older, who is at home.” If there was no eligible man at home, interviewers asked to speak with “the oldest woman, 18 years of age or older, who is now at home.” This systematic respondent selection technique has been shown empirically to produce samples that closely mirror the population in terms of age and gender.

Weighting Weighting is generally used in survey analysis to adjust for planned effects of the sample design and to compensate for patterns of nonresponse that might bias results. The weighting was accomplished in two stages: a first stage sampling weight to adjust for the designed oversampling in minority areas, and a second stage adjustment to account for demographic distortions due to nonresponse.

First Stage Sample Design Weight All completed interviews were given a first stage sample weight based on the level of disproportionality imposed by the sample design. Telephone numbers are divided into strata defined by minority density associated with that exchange. The weight for each stratum is the approximate proportion of continental U.S. households in each stratum divided by the proportion obtained in our sample. The weighted distribution of cases contacted across strata will no longer show effects of the designed oversampling.

Second Stage — Demographic Adjustment Nonresponse in telephone interview surveys produces some known biases in survey-derived estimates because participation tends to vary for different subgroups of the population, and these subgroups are likely to vary also on questions of substantive interest. For example, men are more difficult than women to reach at home by telephone, and people with relatively low educational attainment are less likely than others to agree to participate in telephone surveys. In order to compensate for these known biases, the sample data are weighted in analysis.

The demographic weighting parameters were derived from an analysis of the most recently available Census Bureau Annual Demographic File (March 2001 Current Population Survey). This analysis produced population parameters for the demographic characteristics of households with adults age 18 and older, which are then compared with the sample characteristics to construct sample weights. The analysis only included households in the continental United States where there is a telephone in the household, for comparability to the sample design used for this survey. The results have been weighted to adjust for variations in the sample relating to sex, age, race, and education. The weights were derived using an iterative technique that simultaneously balances the distributions of all weighting parameters.



Effects of Sample Design on Statistical Inference Specialized sampling designs and post-data collection statistical adjustments require analysis procedures that reflect those departures from simple random sampling. PSRA calculates the effects of these design features so that an appropriate adjustment can be incorporated into tests of statistical significance when using these data. The so-called “design effect” or deff represents the loss in statistical efficiency that results from sample design and systematic nonresponse.

In a wide range of situations, the adjusted standard error of a statistic should be calculated by multiplying the usual formula by the square root of the design effect (√deff ). Thus, the formula for computing the 95 percent confidence interval around a percentage is:

−×±n

ppdeffp

)ˆ1(ˆ96.1ˆ

where p̂ is the sample estimate and n is the unweighted number of sample cases in the group being considered.


The survey’s margin of error is the largest 95 percent confidence interval for any estimated proportion based on the total sample—one around 50 percent. If, for example, the margin of error is plus or minus 5 percent, this means that in 95 out every 100 samples using the same methodology, estimated proportions based on the entire sample will be no more than 5 percentage points away from their true values in the population. Sampling fluctuations are only one possible source of error in a survey estimate. Other sources, such as respondent selection bias, questionnaire wording and reporting inaccuracy, may contribute additional error of greater or lesser magnitude.

Table A shows the design effects and margins of error for the sample overall and for the major target subgroups. The design effect of 1.46 for the total sample indicates that the margin of error for national estimates based on all interviews is 1.21 (square root of the design effect) times as wide as a simple random sample of the same size. The benefits are seen in the margins of error for African-American and Hispanic respondents, which would have been larger in a proportional sample, i.e., one that ignores density information across strata. The overall effect of our design has been to trade some precision in overall estimates for greater balance in precision among the subgroups.

Table A: Design Effects and Margins of Error Design Effect Margin of Error Total Sample 1.46 ± 3.4 percent White, not Hispanic 1.28 ± 4.1 percent African-American, not Hispanic 1.64 ± 8.9 percent Hispanic 1.73 ± 8.6 percent

Response Rate: 42.0

PSRA calculates a response rate as the product of three individual rates: the contact rate, the cooperation rate, and the completion rate. Of the residential numbers in the sample, 76.3 percent were contacted by an interviewer and 56.8 percent agreed to participate in the survey. Ninety-six percent were found eligible for the interview. Furthermore, 97.4 percent of eligible respondents completed the interview. Therefore, the final response rate is 42 percent.
