We Regularly Survey Residents to Hear What They Say!
The city of Surprise typically commissions a National Community Survey (NCS) every two years.
BACKGROUND: NCS is a scientific bench marking survey that provides a comprehensive and accurate picture of livability and resident perspectives, as well as comparisons with hundreds of communities around the nation.
The latest NCS was moved to February 2021 as to not conflict with the 2020 US Census. The last survey before that was in 2018.
And here are the RESULTS of the NCS Survey Responses made by Surprise residents
The following percentages are for resident ratings of Excellent or Good.
- 97% Safety
