Community Survey
Every two years, the City conducts a statistically significant survey of randomly selected households from each of the City’s five Council Districts to hear directly from community members on their priority issues, gauge their level of satisfaction with City services, and inform strategic goal setting and decision-making processes. The survey results are used by departments and divisions throughout the entire City organization to help identify budgeting and funding priorities, target specific services or programs for improvements, and to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of nearly every part of the City’s day-to-day operations.
2023-2024 Community Survey
The 2024 Community Survey was conducted in June and July of 2024. A total of 905 residents were surveyed with a minimum of 150 from each of the five Council District. Key demographics including race, gender, and household income were matched to census data to ensure survey respondents were representative of the overall Tacoma population.
