How is life in Savage?

Every two years, the City conducts a survey to gather feedback on what our residents are happy with, where we can improve, and what's important to them. Your input is crucial in helping us make data-driven decisions that benefit all residents. The survey is available in English, Spanish, and Somali.

Purpose of the survey

Assess community satisfaction with the delivery of city services
Help determine priorities for our community
Compare our performance with other cities regionally and across the country
Compare current results with previous surveys

Collection methods

The City of Savage partners with the National Research Center/Polco to implement the community survey. It is a probability-based survey that ensures that every resident has an equal chance of being selected. Respondents are selected at random from a comprehensive list as an effort to reduce bias. Probability-base sampling is currently considered the gold standard for survey methods.

It also offers an open participation survey to ensure the whole community feels included and everyone has a chance to be heard. Both surveys are the same.

We encourage all Savage residents to participate.

If you were one of the 3,000 Savage households randomly selected to participate in the 2024 Community Survey, we hope you take a few minutes to log on and take the survey or fill out the paper copy and return it in the self-address, stamped envelope.
If you were not part of those who were randomly selected, we invite you to take the open participation survey at polco.us/savage24 until August 5.

All responses are anonymous and confidential. Please do not respond more than once.

Questions regarding the survey can be directed to Communications Manager at 952-882-2665 or egunderson@cityofsavage.com.
