In general, the older you are, the better you like living in Brevard County and the more a part of the community you feel. And it helps to be married, because married people are more satisfied living here. Asians and Blacks, due to lack of diversity in the community, report significantly lower scores (4’s and 5’s) than other racial groups.

When asked about satisfaction with variety of ethnic, religious and lifestyle choices, single Blacks (3.29), single Asians (3.86) and single Hispanics (5.00) are significantly less happy than single Whites (6.08). From the standpoint of retaining Black employees, what makes these scores particularly troubling is that Openness and Inclusion is the third most important factor (after Learning and Growing and Cost) when choosing a community for Blacks. With a rating of 4.98, this category received the second lowest scores (Fun received the lowest scores at 4.89).
