Video Update: Community Survey

Join Mayor John Hamilton and Deputy Mayor Mary Catherine Carmichael as they discuss the 2023 Community Survey.

This is the fourth community-wide, biennial, scientific survey of Bloomington residents since 2017 and is again being administered by National Research Center, Inc. (NRC).

A random and scientific sample of 3,000 households is being mailed invitations to participate in the survey, with the first wave of invitations sent last week. The second wave is being sent this week. Participants’ responses are confidential and will be weighted, analyzed, and published on the city’s open data portal B-Clear. Residents not selected randomly may still participate in the survey by completing it online. The results of residents who opt-in will be collected, analyzed, and published in a separate data set. 

This online open participation option will begin on April 17. Data collection for the random sample survey and open participation survey closes May 1. A formal presentation of the results will be presented to City Council in late May.

The results of the 2017, 2019, and 2021 surveys are available at bloomington.in.gov/communitysurvey.
