Basically the result shows that all neighbourhood facilities and services are moderate to less level of satisfaction by different socio economic background. Even though at moderate level below 4.00 scale, the result shows that the lower income gives better level of satisfaction (3.63) compared to the higher income a bit lower level of satisfaction (3.45). Nevertheless peoples who have different home ownership gives almost similar result with average moderate below 4.00 scale.
