Your response: My community is made up of people who send their kids to Davis School District. We recreate at Layton Commons Park. We have a decent amount of people who utilize the UTA Frontrunner to head into downtown and Ogden to work, though we have a large population who work at Hill Air Force Base. Otherwise, many people commute outside of Layton for work.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What are the cultural bonds in your community?
  - If your community has a shared history, what is it?

Examples of cultural or historical interests: Religious groups, ethnic groups, languages, age groups, immigration status, historic or arts districts, etc.

Your response: Historically Layton was a suburb/farming interface. We still have many farms and fruit orchards in Layton, both on the east and west side of Layton. However, more of this farming land is being developed for housing. Culturally, we are a melting pot thanks to Hill AFB. Our neighborhood is one of affordable housing. Most of it seems to be homeowners, with probably 30% of homes having renters. Income levels tend to be lower middle class.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - Where are residents employed?
  - If there are environmental concerns in your community, what are they?

Examples of economic or environmental interests: Tourism industry, agricultural workers, mining town, manufacturing center, polluted natural resource, unemployment problem, etc.

Your response: We are a military community with Hill AFB nearby. Many civilians work here, and military servicepeople live in our city. We have some agricultural interests, and the only mall in Davis County.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What should politicians and/or map drawers know about your community?
  - What are the needs of your community?
  - Is there anything else you want to tell us about your community?

Examples of needs or concerns: Keep community in the same district or separate into multiple districts, shared policy concerns, need for a social service, relationship to other nearby communities, issues with current district lines

Your response: West and Central Layton tends to be made up of younger families, with East Layton being made of more affluent middle age to older Utahns. Because the agriculture is interspersed with suburban interface, it would make sense to keep Layton all in one district. It would likely be most suited to be in a district with Syracuse, then maybe Kaysville, as Syracuse is more similar to Layton in its makeup. There is a fierce community pride in Layton, so dividing the city would not be wise. There is mixed concern over housing. Many say we need to stop building such dense housing/apartments and want to preserve green and open spaces or build single family homes.
