A survey suggests Bristolians are less satisfied with life compared to before the pandemic with many now worrying about inflation and rising bills. Thousands of people selected at random were surveyed by Bristol City Council, revealing the impact of the cost of living crisis.
Three quarters of people living in Bristol surveyed in 2019 said they were “satisfied with life”, with this number dropping to 62% last year. Each year the council runs a Quality of Life survey to find out how people’s experience with life and local public services is changing.
Results from this year’s survey have now been published, showing how people are becoming less healthy and more unsatisfied. Writing on his blog, Mayor Marvin Rees said the views of the 3,905 respondents showed how people in Bristol are struggling with money.
