Surprise residents who did not receive a National Community Survey by mail can now take the survey online.

Visit polco.us/surprise23op to share thoughts on Surprise as a place to live and work.

Chime in on transportation, public safety, youth services and so much more.

The last day to take the survey is Thursday, March 2.

Getting input from residents helps the city understand its strengths and areas for improvement and ensures that it understand the values of the community.

Resident feedback also helps to identify priority projects for Surprise and indicates where limited city funding should go in order to provide the services most desired.

For those households that received a mailed paper survey or a postcard with an online survey option, participate through either option. 

The NCS is conducted by the Polco/National Research Center of Boulder, Colorado, and takes less than 15 minutes to participate.

Here are some important privacy details regarding the survey:

• Polco keeps individual opinions anonymous to the city, while allowing city staff to see broad demographic and geographic breakdowns.
• For online participants, you will be asked to provide an email address and zip code to submit the survey, this ensures one response per person and residency.
• Online users will also have the option to create a Polco account to participate in future online surveys. This is optional and not required in order to participate in the NCS. 

When the survey closes and Polco compiles all the data, the city will share the responses at surpriseaz.gov/NCS.

Results are expected to be released by April.
