29 CENTRAL FINDINGS FROM THE 2015 SURVEY Economic Outlooks Ratings of job opportunities have continued to improve, despite the recent slump in oil prices, and traffic has become the predominant concern. Interethnic Relations After a downturn in ratings of ethnic relations, area residents this year are more optimistic about the burgeoning diversity and more positive in their views of immigrants. County Differences Social Agenda Despite county contrasts in ethnicity, density, education and politics, there are only slight differences in assessments of diversity and in the preference for walkable urbanism. Area residents are personally opposed to abortion but they support the right to choose, and they are rethinking their views on same-sex marriage and the death penalty.
