City Surveys

The 2025 Community Survey is currently open! The survey was last completed in June/July, 2023. The full results for the 2023 survey, including the interactive dashboard, is available/linked below. 2025 survey results will be published as soon as the survey closes, and full results are available.

NOTE: The survey is for Renton residents only - in order to maintain the integrity of the results, the survey link is provided through multiple channels that will primarily reach residents only (direct mailings, utility bill inserts, resident newsletters, etc.), therefore the open link is not provided here on the website for everyone to access.

If you are a Renton resident and wish to take the survey, please email rentonsurvey@rentonwa.gov and we will reply with the link to complete the survey.

The City of Renton conducts a survey of our community about every two to four years and it is open now for 2025. The survey provides important feedback that helps us get a better understanding of the residents' and business community’s experience with city services and helps advise city leaders as they assess future projects and services that may be desired by the community.

These results are used to help:

Evaluate our performance.
Inform our performance-based budgeting process.
Understand the priorities of our residents and businesses and establish the city’s priorities.
Help shape the future of Renton.

We would like to thank those residents who are completing the survey this year, we truly appreciate your participation. This will provide critical feedback informing us of the community’s opinions and attitudes about city services and programs and is tremendously valuable in guiding our work to address concerns and celebrate successes.

Renton faces many of the same challenges that most cities in the region, if not the entire country, are also encountering. Concerns around crime and safety, travel and mobility, and providing mental health services and support to those experiencing homelessness are vital areas that residents, and the city, prioritize and want to see improved. Numerous projects, programs, and other efforts are already in place to address these concerns.

Despite the challenges faced by the city, Renton residents have expressed their genuine happiness and satisfaction with the place they proudly call home. The 2023 survey revealed one of the city's greatest achievements: the outstanding rating given to city employees by its residents.

The 2023 Executive Summary (summarized survey results) was presented to Renton City Council at the Committee of the Whole meeting on Monday, August 7, 2023. 2025 results will be presented to Council later this year.
