Quality of Life Study 
 
Quality of Life MapThe Neighborhood Quality of Life Study divides the City and its future annexation areas into 173 Neighborhood Statistical Areas (NSA).  Each NSA contains one or more neighborhoods or subdivisions.  The study examines 20 neighborhood variables in each NSA mostly collected from local databases maintained by the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.  The research converts the individual statistical values into NSA neighborhood-ranking categories – stable, transitioning and challenged. The Quality of Life Study is used extensively in the City to help determine programs and services as well as allocate resources.
