This âFiddlerâ featured black and Latino preteens in the lead roles at a time when black-Jewish tensions in the neighborhood had reached an all-time high. And yet its cast members echoed one original Broadway choristerâs ardent declaration that, while working on the show, they came âto love our village.â.
Pew Research reported in 2012 that the typical response rate to their surveys is only 9%. If for a particular survey 15,000 households are contacted, what is the probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond?
Namely, survey completion rates are extremely low for non-customer surveys. There are ample numbers reported for surveys administered to customers (usually 10%-40% as reported from this source, this source). So when we started out with an average survey completion rate of 1.52%, our brows furrowed with disappointment. Yet, we started to wonder if 1.52% was really so bad. Frankly, it was hard to tell. Finding survey response rates for non-customer groups is much harder than for customer groups. Several hours of Google searchingâand asking SurveyMonkey for data directlyâturned up nothing.
