The 16th Annual Life in Hampton Roads Survey Report
The full 16th Annual Life in Hampton Roads Survey Report will be available soon. In the meantime, we invite you to review the 2025 Politics & Political Opinions Report and 2025 Flooding Report, which highlights key findings in these areas.
The Social Science Research Center (SSRC) at 98Ìà recently completed data collection for the 16th annual Life in Hampton Roads (LIHR) survey. The Dragas Center for Economic Analysis and Policy at 98Ìà generously funded the 2025 Life in Hampton Roads Survey. The purpose of this survey is to gain insight into residents’ perceptions of the quality of life in Hampton Roads as well as other topics of local interest such as perceptions of police, politics, the economy, education and health.
Many of the coastal cities of Hampton Roads are dealing with both sea level rise and land subsidence which increases the risk of flooding and impacts the lives and daily routines of residents. Respondents were asked to describe the risk to their city, neighborhood, and home/property due to severe flooding from sea level rise over the next 30 years.
