Every other year for the past 8 years, the City of Decatur has surveyed its residents through the National Research Center (NRC.) The NRC sent out the 2014 survey to a random sample of Decatur residents on Wednesday, February 5th with a postcard notification. If you didn’t receive a postcard that means you weren’t one of the random households chosen this time.
The actual survey will be sent out twice on Feb. 12 and Feb. 19 to the random sample. If you are one of the lucky ones to receive the survey, please make sure to fill it out and send it back via mail or online. We’ve had a 40% response rate for the past 4 surveys, which is great, but we want more! The survey is completely anonymous and we only get the final tabulations from NRC.
If you’d like a better idea of what the final tabulations look like, click here for our webpage where you can download the 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2012 survey results. The data from the survey is used by the City in its budgeting, strategic and annual planning processes.
If you have any questions regarding the survey, contact Budget & Performance Measurement Manager Meredith Roark at meredith.roark@decaturga.com or call 404-370-4102.
