Wilton

Methodology

Using a quantitative research design, CRPP completed 404phone surveys among Wilton, CT adult residents and landowners.

Survey input was provided by the Town of Wilton, CT andMilone & MacBroom.

Wilton

Methodology

Survey design at CRPP is a careful, deliberative process to ensure fair, objective and balanced surveys. Staff members, with years of survey design experience, edit out any bias.

All facets of the study were completed by CRPP’s senior staff and researchers. These aspects include: survey design, sample plan design, pretest, computer programming, fielding, coding, editing, verification, validation and logic checks, computer analysis, analysis, and report writing.

Wilton

Methodology

Wilton

All telephone interviews were conducted during December 4 - 17, 2018.Residents were contacted between 5:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. weekdaysand 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. on Saturdays.

Respondents qualified for the survey if they were a current resident orland owner of Wilton and were 18 years of age or older.

Methodology

All population-based surveys conducted by CRPP are approximately proportional topopulation contributions within states, towns, and known census tract, group blocks andblocks. This distribution ensures truly representative results without significant under-or-over representation of various geographic or demographic groups within a sampling frame.

CRPP utilized a “super random digit” sampling procedure, which derives a workingtelephone sample of both listed and unlisted telephone numbers. This method of sampleselection eliminates any bias toward only listed telephone numbers. Additionally, thisprocess allows randomization of numbers, which equalizes the probability of qualifiedrespondents being included in the sampling frame. A “mixed access” sample of both celland landline phone numbers was utilized.

Wilton

Methodology

Statistically, a sample of 404 Wilton adult residents represents a margin for error of +/-4.8% at 95% confidence levels.

Each qualified resident who lives in Wilton had an equal chance for participating in the study. Statistical random error, however, can never be eliminated but may be significantly reduced by increasing sample size.
