In the Spring of 2021, Hillsborough County residents had the opportunity to weigh in on key quality-of-life areas. The 2021 Hillsborough County Citizen Survey reassessed satisfaction in five strategic focus areas that impact resident's lives, such as high-quality community assets, life enrichment and recreational opportunities, the local economy, public safety, and self-sufficiency programs for individuals and families.
Feedback from the anonymous phone and online surveys will help County administration to understand the community's current priorities and satisfaction levels.
1400的统计ally valid responses were collected during the telephonic survey period and an additional 15,027 responses were collected as part of the alternative online questionnaire.
