A total of 506 individuals responded to the survey (an average of 84 per month). The most prevalent responses explain why residents like to live and/or operate  a business in Spotsylvania such as its quality of life, centralized location between Washington D.C. and Richmond, access to major transportation routes and its historic and natural resources such as the battlefields, Lake Anna, and the Rappahannock River.
