Survey methods and demographics of the 1998 Lawrence Citi Q survey
The Kansas University Survey Research Laboratory conducted a random sample of Lawrence residents 18 or older between Oct 10 and Nov 3 1998. Telephone interviews excluded dormitory students, with 70 percent not students, 25 percent full-time students, and 5 percent part-time students. Homeowners were 53.8 percent, renters 46.2 percent. The city’s population under 10 years residence was 55.9 percent, with a median tenure of nine years. EU students likely influenced figures. 95 percent confidence bounds place sampling error at about 2.1 percentage points.
