Methodology
  • Overview: The Michigan Metro Area Communities Study (MIMACS) is designed to provide a reliable source for timely and relevant public opinion data in select Michigan communities by using state-of-the-art scientific methods to obtain the most representative insights available. MIMACS builds off the successful deployment of the Detroit Metro Area Communities Study (DMACS), a representative panel survey of adult residents of the city of Detroit that has regularly conducted surveys since 2016 (for more information, see  https://detroitsurvey.umich.edu).

  • Between January 15 - March 18, 2024, we conducted our first survey in Grand Rapids. The sample was drawn from an address-based probability sample of all occupied Grand Rapids households. We sent 7,500 survey invitations to a randomly selected address-based refreshment sample of Grand Rapids households. A total of 1,379 residents aged 18 and older completed the survey, yielding an overall response rate of 19.2% (using AAPOR Response Rate 1)
