Quotas were set by age, gender, ethnicity, work status and ward to ensure demographic representativeness, with data weighted to the known profile of the Leicester adult population to mitigate non-response bias.

Respondents were selected for interview randomly in pre-assigned sample points across Leicester.

Fieldwork took place between 5 March and 25 July 2018 and 2,224 interviews were completed.

Ipsos MORI were commissioned by Leicester City Council to undertake a face-to-face survey of residents in Leicester aged 16+. Interviews were conducted in the home using Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI).
