The increasing availability of Ur social indicators offers the possibility of an overall quality of life measure which can be used to compare cities. Several solutions to the problem of combining the individual indicators into an overall comparative measure are considered. The most promising results were obtained by grouping cities according to the similarity of their profiles on the social indicators, including (1) unemployment, (2) income, (3) housing, (4) health, (5) racial equality, (6) education, (7) transporation, & (8) air quality. The value of such comparisons, however, remains speculative because of serious limitations in the indicators. While a number of improvements are possible, the resulting indicators will still be adequate only for use in gross comparisons of metropolitan areas. 4 Tables, 2 Figures. Modified HA.
