Methodology

Response Rate:  View help for Response Rate 72% by jurisdiction; 41% by individual respondent
Sampling:  View help for Sampling The sample for the Spring 2015 MPPS included on average two officials from each of the local general purpose units of government (83 counties, 279 cities, 254 villages, and 1,240 townships) in the state of Michigan. The sample frame included, where the position existed and was not vacant, the top elected and top appointed official in each jurisdiction. For counties, this consisted of county administrators and board chairs; for cities, mayors and city managers; for villages, village presidents and managers. Townships are a special case, in that, typically, their governing officials are all elected. Therefore, in townships, both the elected supervisors and the elected clerks were administered surveys, as well as the few appointed township managers.

Weights:  View help for Weights
The Spring 2015 dataset includes two separate weights—one for individual-level (ind_wgt) and
one for jurisdiction-level (juris_wgt) analyses—that should be used to account for nonresponse at
the individual and jurisdictional levels, respectively. The variable samp_juris can be used to
select cases according to whether analysis is being done at the individual-level or jurisdictionlevel.
