City Surveys
The 2025 Community Survey is now closed, effective June 23.
Survey results are currently being analyzed. An initial summary of results has been shared with City Council and our community members at the August 11, 2025, Committee of the Whole meeting.
To view past survey results please see the linked documents at the bottom of this page. Complete 2025 results will be available on this webpage later this fall after analysis is complete.
The City of Renton conducts a survey of our community about every two to four years and it was just completed 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 programs 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 take the time to complete the survey, we truly appreciate your participation.
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, affordable housing, and providing mental health services and other 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 and additional plans are being formulated.
Despite the challenges faced by the city, Renton residents have expressed their genuine happiness and satisfaction with the place they proudly call home. Both the 2023 and 2025 survey revealed one of the city's greatest achievements: the outstanding rating given to city employees by its residents.
