A resident of Sedgwick County, Colorado would like to use autoethnography to research why the population has declined over the past 16 years. Only two new housing permits have been issued in that time, consistent with depopulation, especially of younger people, and economic problems due to declining rainfall since the 1970s. However, it is unclear how much the depopulation was also due to perceived opportunities elsewhere or changing economic conditions. The researcher must address how to guard against their own bias and ensure the data collected from their unique perspective will still be informative to a wider audience.

![Using autoethnography in a qualitative research,
consider a resident of Sedgwick County, Colorado community
to be the researcher of this study? Over the past 16 years, only
two building permits for new housing construction have been
issued in Sedgwick County, Colorado. This is consistent with
the depopulation (particularly of younger persons) and
economic diminution that is attributed to a declining rainfall
since the 1970s. These are quantitative details. It is unclear how
much of the depopulation was due to perceived opportunities
elsewhere, to copycat or fad behavior, and to perceived change
in local economic opportunity.
This is the only situation where the researcher can offer his/her
own perspective as data for the study. How does the researcher
guard against the limitations of his/her existing bias? How does
he/she make sure that the data collected will be informative to a
larger audience? [250 words, 2 references, 2 Intext Citations,
