Miami
The 2009 Soul of the Community Survey explores the link between residents' emotional ties to where they live and the community's economic growth. Three main factors emotionally attach residents to Miami, including openness (how welcoming a place is), social offerings (fun places to gather) and aesthetics (an area’s physical beauty and green spaces). However, ratings for those qualities remained steady – which means that something else not examined by the study is influencing the big jump in the loyalty and passion Miamians have for the area in 2009.
