The Community Survey conducted in 2002 was sponsored by the City of Steamboat Springs and conducted by RRC Associates. The survey was designed to help determine community attitudes and perceptions about key local issues, including satisfaction with local public services, the performance of local government and community organizations, priorities for improving the quality of life in the community, the importance of various issues to local residents, methods of financing community infrastructure, and other issues. By helping the City prioritize community needs and desires, the results of the survey can help guide future policy and funding decisions, including where trade-offs may potentially be made given current funding levels, by identifying those projects and issues regarded as highest (and lowest) priority by Steamboat Springs citizens.
The mailback survey was intended to reach a sample of all households in Steamboat Springs, including renters and owners, second home owners living out of the area, seasonal residents, and year-round permanent residents. A sample of business owners who have businesses in Steamboat Springs but live outside of the City limits were also targeted. The survey was distributed in March 2002 to 4,080 identified households in the area. A total of 1,082 mail surveys were returned, for a response rate of 27 percent. The margin of error for the mail survey is +/- 3.0 percentage points.
Selected highlights of the survey results are summarized in the attached report.
