The Well-being Survey is sponsored by The Columbus Foundation to understand how Columbus, Ohio residents are doing individually and as a community. We believe this survey can provide critical information to understand how Columbus residents can be better supported to achieve their full potential.
The survey was administered to 690 American Population Panel members in the fall of 2019 and then expanded to over 2,000 respondents, including panel and non-panel members, within the Columbus area.
