Community Attitudes Survey

The City of Dublin’s Community Attitudes Survey is conducted via telephone every few years, soliciting a range of opinions from randomly selected residents.

National Citizens Survey

The National Citizen Survey (NCS) measures the “livability” of communities across the nation. The City of Dublin participated in the survey in 2009, 2012, 2015 and 2018. Once again, Dublin residents gave high marks – in most cases above the national average – in most categories.

The NCS captures residents’ opinions regarding community characteristics, governance and participation. “Great communities are partnerships of the government, private sector, community-based organizations and residents, all geographically connected,” the report states. The results demonstrate that Dublin is not just a place where people live – it’s a place people want to live.

“Dublin is a truly remarkable community. Almost all of the community characteristics and services offered by the City of Dublin were given positive ratings from a majority of respondents. Year after year, Dublin’s results continue to be above average and Dublin also continues to maintain levels of service that surpasses the expectations of its residents.” Charissa Bowditch, Project Manager, National Research Center, Inc.

Methodology

The NCS is a collaborative effort between National Research Center and the International City/County Management Association. The survey and its administration are standardized to assure high quality research methods and directly comparative results across NCS communities.
