Citizen Survey

The Citizen Survey serves as a report card for the City of Twin Falls. On a bi-annual basis, residents are given the opportunity to rate the quality of life, their satisfaction with community amenities, and the performance of local government. Residents also provide feedback on what is working well within the City and what needs improvement. The feedback is used to identify priority areas and resource allocation within the budget.

The report also includes information on the demographics of the individuals that completed the surveys, including age, gender, race, household income, children at home, and more. This information is also useful when determining programs and services to ensure inclusivity, equity, and diversity. Respondents have the opportunity to rate the City of Twin Falls on multiple topics, including:

  • Overall quality of life

  • Feeling of safety in your neighborhood

  • Ease of travel by car

  • Overall built environment

  • Customer service of city employees

  • Garbage collections

  • Code Enforcement

  • Police and Fire

  • Recreation opportunities

  • Civic Involvement
