St. Lucie County reminds residents to provide feedback via the National Community Survey mailer. The second round of surveys was mailed to select St. Lucie County residences, asking for feedback regarding future growth and resident priorities. St. Lucie County Commissioners and staff ask that if you receive a survey – please fill it out and return it. If you receive a survey your household is one of only 5,500 selected to participate in the random and scientific survey. Your participation is very important.
Your feedback will help St. Lucie County Commissioners make decisions that affect our community and will help prioritize the things most important to you. Survey responses are confidential and no identifying information will be shared, the National Research Center will collect and analyze the responses independently and inform St. Lucie County how it measures up against more than 500 other communities throughout the United States. St. Lucie County conducted the National Community Survey in 2019, so we will see how we compare to 500+ communities and our own 2019 survey results.
The survey centers on community livability and includes questions about the quality of life, local policies, demographics, rating of local government services, and resident use of services. Communities using this survey have reported that the tool helped improve governmental performance, strengthen communications with community stakeholders and identify clear priorities for use in goal and budget setting.
