According to results of a survey released by researchers at UC Santa Barbara, immigration and affordable housing top a list of concerns for residents in Santa Barbara County.

The survey of more than 800 English- and Spanish-speaking households was conducted by the Social Science Survey Center at UCSB.

South County residents seem to be more concerned over the lack of affordable housing, while those living in the North County care about immigration related matters.

Those surveyed also believe that their economic conditions have worsened since 2008.

Meanwhile, most residents expressed the importance of environmentalism in both North and South County.

The goal of the survey was to find out what issues they think most affects their quality of life.
