Community Survey

Nantucket residents can help improve Town services by participating in a representative community survey designed to help officials better understand residents' priorities, concerns about Town services, and overall quality of life, including housing, education, transportation, and public safety. A key benefit of this representative approach is that it ensures input from a diverse cross-section of the community, allowing us to gather feedback that truly reflects the needs and concerns of all residents.

Please note that the survey is distributed via targeted Zencity ads on social media, so while a direct link is not provided, we encourage residents to participate if they come across the ad.

Survey responses are confidential and anonymous. The survey will not collect an individual’s name, address, or any other personally identifying information.

Accessible distribution
The survey has been thoughtfully crafted to eliminate common barriers to participation—such as time and language—so a broader range of resident groups can easily take part.

Actionable breakdowns of the data
Survey results will be analyzed by demographic group, geographic region, quality of life factors, and more to better understand where to focus Town efforts.

Enhancing performance
Biannual reports will guide the Town's strategic planning with clear, actionable data. Feedback will help Town officials and staff better identify and address concerns, improving the Town's responsiveness to community needs. Survey results will be shared with the public to ensure transparency and provide insight into the feedback gathered from residents.
