2022 Annual Community Survey Results

 

OVERVIEW STATEMENT:

recommendation

Staff from EMC Research will present the results of Redmond’s annual community survey.

 

This year’s annual community survey was conducted from January 16 - February 23, 2023, using a multi-modal address-based sampling (ABS) approach, fielded primarily as a postcard-to-web survey of residential households in Redmond, not just registered voters as in the past. The survey was provided in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Hindi.
