This series of data visualisations were created from what we gathered through our community online survey ‘What makes Brunswick, Brunswick?’ that was completed by 237 people. While not limited to Brunswick residents, the survey reached 151 people who live in Brunswick, and another 38 who have previously lived or worked in Brunswick. The survey was principally promoted via Instagram, which means that most respondents fell within the age group of 18-29 years. In line with common trends within qualitative research, 146 of the respondents identified as female, 48 identified as male, with 11 identifying as gender diverse, and 32 preferring not to say.
