Community Survey

The Town of Estes Park conducted its biennial National Community Survey in 2025. A random sample of approximately 3,000 households received a questionnaire asking for feedback on quality of life, town services, and other important community topics. The results will be used by Town officials for community planning and resource allocation, program improvement, policy-making and tracking changes in residents’ opinions about government performance. An open, non-scientific survey was also offered to allow broad participation in this important survey.
