87% of Indian River (IR) residents speak English only.) About 4% (74) completed the Spanish version. The highest percentage (46%) of completions in Spanish occurred in Zone 1. d. Internet Use. Some questionnaires were completed online. All respondents were asked about their use of the internet. Three-quarter of respondents said they used the internet several times a day with only 2% never using it. In the 2020 Census 88.4% of IR households had a computer and 82.1% had an internet connection. Therefore, it is unlikely that the fact that some questionnaires were available online did not likely deter anyone from completing it. Highest rate of internet use was reported in Zone 2, the lowest in Zone 1. 2. Housing and Residency. A series of questions solicited information about the respondent's housing status and residency in IR County. a. Time Lived in Indian River County. Most are long-time residents. About three-quarters have resided in IR County more than 5 years and nearly one-third have been here 25 years or more. The longest residency times are in Zone 1 (62% over 25 years) and Zone 5 (67%). The distribution is presented in Figure 1. Figure 1. Years Lived in Indian River County 25 years Less than of more 5 years 31% 23% 16-25 6-15 years years 16% 30% N = 1793 b. Home Ownership. About 87% own their home. This compares to 79% owners reported in the 2020 Census. The highest rate (96%) was in Zone 2. c. Type of Housing. As illustrated in Figure 2, three-fourths of this sample live in single family homes; another 10% in town homes or duplexes. Another 8% live in apartments or condominiums. Given the age of the sample, it was surprising that only 7% reported living in aggregate facilities. However, this may be due to residents of these facilities being less likely to have taken the survey. The highest number reporting living in a single-family home was in Zone 5 (91%). The highest rates for mobile or manufactured homes were in Zones 1 (20%) and 7 (20%). 72
