Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Coliving Wellbeing Index?
A structured assessment that rates your coliving space across 8 wellbeing dimensions: natural light & air quality, physical activity, mental health & quiet space, social connection, nutrition & kitchen access, safety & security, work environment, and green space. Each dimension is scored 0-100%.
Who should complete this assessment?
Ideally both operators and residents. Operators can assess the physical infrastructure and programming, while resident surveys capture the lived experience. The gap between the two often reveals the most actionable insights.
How does wellbeing impact my business metrics?
Resident wellbeing directly correlates with retention, referrals, and pricing power. Spaces that score 80+ on wellbeing metrics see 30-50% higher renewal rates and 2x more organic referrals. Happy, healthy residents are your best marketing channel.
What score should I aim for?
80+ is Excellent — your space is a wellbeing leader. 60-79 is Good — solid foundations with room for improvement. 40-59 Needs Attention — noticeable gaps affecting resident experience. Below 40 is Critical — requires immediate action.
What are the easiest wellbeing improvements to implement?
Start with low-cost, high-impact changes: improve lighting in common areas, add plants and greenery, create a dedicated quiet zone, establish regular community meal nights, and ensure clean air circulation. These changes typically cost under $500 but can significantly improve wellbeing scores within one quarter.
How does natural light affect resident wellbeing in coliving?
Natural light is one of the strongest predictors of resident satisfaction. Spaces with abundant daylight see 20-30% higher wellbeing scores. Maximize natural light by using sheer curtains, light-colored walls, and mirrors. If natural light is limited, invest in full-spectrum LED lighting that mimics daylight patterns.
Can I benchmark my score against other coliving spaces?
The Wellbeing Index uses industry-standard dimensions so you can compare your scores against coliving benchmarks. Spaces with dedicated wellness programming typically score 75-85. Premium coliving brands average 80-90. Use your score to identify where you fall relative to market expectations and set improvement targets.
