Community Survey
Every two years, the City of Austin partners with the outside consultant ETC Institute to administer an Austin Community Survey. The survey assesses satisfaction with the delivery of City services and allows us to understand community priorities in alignment with City goals. On the dashboard, you can explore survey insights over time and visualize key findings about resident satisfaction with City services, quality of life, and respondent demographics.
Methodology
- In 2023, a total of 2,095 households completed the survey; a minimum of 200 surveys completed in each of the City’s ten council districts.
- Surveys are historically collected in the summer or fall. 2023 results were collected September to November 2023.
- A seven-page survey was mailed to a stratified random sample of households in the city. Each survey packet contained a cover letter, a copy of the survey, and a postage-paid return envelope. Residents who received the survey packet were given the option of returning the survey by mail or completing it on-line.
- A third party provider, ETC Institute, manages the survey on behalf of the City of Austin.
- The data referenced in the 2023 Community Survey Findings Report reflects the results gathered from our most recent biannual survey,
