Central Coast Survey

The Central Coast Survey is an annual telephone survey of residents of Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties.

We ask Santa Barbara and Ventura County residents about important local issues such as the quality of public schools, the adequacy of the transportation system, and the conditions of the local housing and job markets.

The study is sponsored by the UCSB College of Letters and Science, and by the Social Science Survey Center.
