The vertical axis displays the importance of a driver in predicting overall community attachment. The horizontal axis displays how the community is perceived to be performing in regard to that driver.

The chart space is thus divided into four segments. The upper left is of particular interest. It represents what we call “critical opportunities” for improving community attachment: the drivers found in this quadrant are rated important, but low in performance by citizens. They are, in a way, the low hanging fruits: increasing performance of these drivers will have outsized impact on community attachment, because they are rated important.
