In the fall of 2023, League City worked with ETC Institute—a nationally recognized government research and survey company—to administer a community survey. The survey was conducted as part of League City’s effort to assess citizen satisfaction with the quality of services the City provides as well as the overall perception residents have of the community where they live. This is the third community survey ETC Institute has administered for League City. The first was conducted in the fall of 2019.
The seven-page survey was mailed to a random sample of households throughout the City. Citizens could return the survey via a postage-paid return envelope or take it online. A total of 418 households completed the survey and the results collected have a 95% level of confidence with a precision of at least +/- 4.8%.
The results of the survey are below.
