Abstract
Sixty goals grouped into seventeen general categories are defined. Data on attainment are analyzed for 101 Metropolitan Areas in 1960. Between goals within a general category, intercorrelations are relatively high; but fewer significant correlations are found between goals from different categories. Income indicators are the best single measure of overall goal attainment, but are unrelated to a number of other goal attainment indicators, especially indicators of physical goals. Few negative associations are found, implying that attainment along one goal is rarely associated with decreased attainment along another goal.Keywords
