2024 National Community Survey

The National Community Survey (NCS) is a comprehensive tool that helps local governments gather feedback from residents on various aspects of community life. Designed to provide a clear picture of how residents perceive the quality of services, safety, and overall livability, the NCS serves as a benchmark for local performance compared to other communities nationwide. This valuable insight empowers governments to make informed decisions, prioritize resources, and enhance policies that address the needs and desires of the community.

The survey is now closed.
