City Launches 2025 Community Survey
Published on September 16, 2025
Sioux Falls City Council launched The National Community Survey™ (The NCS) this week to measure how residents rank the “livability” of Sioux Falls.
The survey will be sent to 3,000 randomly selected residents to provide feedback on city services and overall quality of life. In early October, the survey will be available online to all residents, providing a broader opportunity for community input.
“We strongly encourage everyone who receives the survey to participate,” said Jennifer Sigette, City Council Vice Chair. “The more responses we receive, the better data we’ll have to guide city government decisions. This is a valuable opportunity for our community to share their perspectives and help shape the future of Sioux Falls.”
Sioux Falls last conducted The NCS in 2023. The survey focuses on community livability and includes questions about quality of life, local policies, and satisfaction with city services. The results will help City leaders evaluate progress, identify areas for improvement, and set priorities for future programs and investments.
Survey results will be made publicly available on the City’s website upon completion and analysis.
The National Community Survey™ is developed by the National Research Center at Polco and is used by cities across the country to gather statistically valid resident feedback.
