Representation Summary

55 people answered this report. The score is 25%, low for two reasons: who answered and how many answered. The people who answered do not yet look like the whole city: too few teens, people in their 20s, and women, and too many from Ward 5 and people in their 30s. 55 answered, far fewer than the 385 it takes to be sure. This report cannot speak for all of Burlington. The score rises as more people, from every part of the city, answer.
