Community Survey

Every two years, the City of Wilsonville participates in the National Community Survey™ (NCS).

Polco/National Research Center (NRC) in Boulder, Colo., conducts this statistically-valid survey to gauge resident attitudes about Wilsonville amenities, City services and community participation. Survey data can be compared with results from more than 500 communities across the U.S who participate in the NCS, and local data can be compared to past surveys to gauge how/when resident attitudes change over time.

The 2026 survey is now underway. During the most recent survey, completed in 2024, 86% percent of residents rated the quality of life in Wilsonville as 'excellent' or 'good'. Other key 2024 findings, with percentage of positive responses (i.e. 'excellent' or 'good'):

Wilsonville as a place to live (87%)
Your neighborhood as a place to live (91%)
Overall feeling of safety (88%)
Overall economic health (72%)
Place to raise children (85%)
Cleanliness (88%)
City parks (91%)
Library services (96%)

“We always look forward to the National Community Survey data reports, which guide planning and help us better understand how the City’s programs and services are being received,” City Manager Jeanna Troha said. “The more people who participate, the better equipped our City Council and staff will be to effectively meet the community’s most critical needs.”
