Every other year for the past 12 years, the City of Decatur has surveyed its residents through the National Research Center (NRC.) Last week the NRC sent out a postcard notification announcing the 2018 survey to a random sample of Decatur residents. If you don’t receive a postcard in the coming days, you are not one of the 1,500 households randomly chosen this time.
The actual survey will be sent out twice on February 9 and February 16 to the random sample. The survey is completely anonymous and we only get the final tabulations from NRC. 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 six surveys, which is fantastic but we want more!
If you’d like a better idea of what the final tabulations look like, click here to view and download the 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016 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 City Clerk Meredith Roark at meredith.roark@decaturga.com or call 404-370-4102.
