Houston Institute for Culture Number of Participants Out of 332 Surveyed Who Indicated They Dedicate 0 Hours to Each Activity 332 people were surveyed concerning the time they dedicate to their leisure interests. The survey gaged the participants' commitment of time to activity that does not involve employment, family care, shopping for groceries or pharmaceuticals, religion, exercise or physical therapy. The survey was conducted in October, 2002 near Post Oak and Westheimer streets in the shopping district northwest of the intersection, opposite the Galleria. Nearly 60 percent of the participants were women and slightly over 40 percent were men. 303 of the survey participants came from 16 zip codes found inside Loop 610 west of downtown, outside Loop 610 north and south of the Galleria area, and west along Westheimer. 29 others came from more widespread singular zip codes. None of the participants volunteered for political campaigns, social agencies or non-profit organizations more than three hours in six months prior to being surveyed.
