Abstract | As part of a larger study prepared to provide local leaders with information on socioeconomic characteristics and household attitudes in four Kentucky counties, this databook on Whitley County is compiled from 1961 (open country area) and 1973 (open country and nonopen country area) surveys. The sampling procedure involved a random selection of small-area sample segments and then a random selection of households to be interviewed. Interpretive summaries are provided for the following survey components: (1) Residential Characteristics; (2) Household Characteristics; (3) Level of Living; (4) Occupational Characteristics; (5) Income Characteristics; (6) Social Participation; (7) Opinion of Change in Quality of Life in County, 1973; (8) Opinion of Change in Quality of Life in Own Family, 1973; and (9) Opinion of Quality of Life Change in the U.S., 1973. Significant survey responses indicated that when compared with the combined responses of all four counties surveyed, Whitley County had proportionately more: older people; craftsmen (30 percentage); employed homemakers; dissatisfaction with a man's chances of getting ahead, fringe benefits, and amount of money earned; and favorable views on local change and less favorable views on own family change and U.S. change in quality of life.
