No full textAbout this Study
StudyLA conducted the 2021 Los Angeles River Survey to measure public opinion on various topics related to the LA River.
The survey involved 15-minute telephone sessions and online surveys with 600 adults living in Los Angeles County (124 respondents are in zip codes located within one mile of the Los Angeles River, indicated by the light blue area on the map). Data collection took place from July 7 to July 19, 2021. The survey was administered in English, Spanish, Mandarin, and Korean. The margin of error is +/- 4% for the entire sample. More on the methodology for this study can be found in the data brief, available lmu.edu/studyLA.
This report presents toplines (total responses for each question) and crosstabs (all questions crossed by major demographics) pertaining to substantive questions. All questions were asked of the entire sample except for the questions asking respondents if they had ever been to the Los Angeles River (asked only of those who said they were aware of it; n=505) and what activities they had done there (asked only of those who said they had been there; n=257). Numbers may not total 100% due to rounding.

Black Lives Matter: 2017 Los Angeles Public Opinion Survey Report
No full textMAJORITY OF L.A. COUNTY RESIDENTS AGREE WITH BLACK LIVES MATTER, LMU SURVEY FINDS
Two-thirds (67%) of Los Angeles County residents agree with the Black Lives Matter movement, according to a survey conducted by Loyola Marymount University’s Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Center for the Study of Los Angeles. “In Los Angeles, even wedge issues become non-controversial,” said Fernando Guerra, director and professor of political science and Chicana/o studies at LMU. “Such a high level of support for the nationally controversial issue is astounding even for liberal LA.” The question was part of a public opinion poll administered by StudyLA in January and February to 2,400 Los Angeles County residents through a mixed-mode (telephone and online) method. The survey defined Black Lives Matter as a movement to bring attention to the relationship between African Americans and police departments across the country. Major findings include:
▪ Broken down by race, Blacks had the highest level of support for the movement (87% agree), followed by Latinos (71%), Asians (62%), and whites (59%).
▪ City of Los Angeles residents were more likely to agree with the movement (73% agree) as compared to Los Angeles County residents (64%).
▪ Liberals were very likely to agree with the movement (83%), while moderates had slightly lower levels of support (64%), and conservatives had the lowest levels of support (50%).
▪ Students (82% agree) and young Angelenos, ages 18-29 (76%) were supportive of the movement.
Although Angelenos agreed with the movement at varying levels, demographics expected to oppose the movement came out with substantial levels of support. “Sure, Blacks, liberals, students, and millennials strongly support the movement just as expected,” said Brianne Gilbert, associate director of StudyLA. “But the fact that 50% of conservatives and 59% of whites agree with Black Lives Matter clearly shows that the majority of Angelenos stand with this movement.“ The Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Center for the Study of Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount University is one of the leading undergraduate research centers in the nation. The results of this report are part of the Los Angeles Public Opinion Survey, an annual outlook survey looking at quality-of-life perceptions, personal economic wellbeing, economic concerns, overall life satisfaction, and various civic issues.
