2026 Official Salt Lake City Resident Survey
Salt Lake City is conducting its 2026 Resident Survey from October 19 through November 22. The survey helps us understand residents’ experiences, priorities, and satisfaction with City services.
For nearly 30 years, Salt Lake City has regularly surveyed residents, tracking changes over time and using results to help City leaders make informed decisions about City services, programs, policies, and future priorities.
Were you invited to participate?
Residents are selected through a random process to ensure representation from a diverse group across Salt Lake City. Because participants are randomly selected, not every resident will receive an invitation.
If you received an invitation, we encourage you to take the survey and share your experience.
Your invitation is from Salt Lake City.
If you are selected, you will receive an invitation by mail from Probolsky Research, an independent research firm contracted to conduct this survey on the City’s behalf. To ensure all voices are heard, you may receive a reminder email, text, or phone call from Probolsky to complete the survey.
A few things to know before you participate:
- The survey is available in English, Spanish, and Arabic.
- Your responses are anonymous.
- Participation is free and voluntary.
- The survey will not ask for sensitive personal information, such as your Social Security number or date of birth.
- The survey is specifically for Salt Lake City residents.
- The survey is available in English, Spanish, and Arabic.
- It should take participants around 15 minutes to complete the survey.
FAQ
Can I forward the invite to my family and friends? The email and text links are unique to each resident and once they have been used to access and complete a survey, the link will not allow any additional respondents to access it.
Will the City see how I responded to the survey? No. The survey is anonymous. All results are reported in aggregate (combined with all other responses); individual respondents are never identified.
How is this different from other City surveys?
The Resident Survey looks broadly at quality of life, City services, and residents’ experiences living in Salt Lake City. Many of these topics are measured over time, allowing the City to see how residents’ experiences and priorities are changing.
City departments also conduct surveys about individual projects and topics, such as housing, transportation, and park improvements. Find current surveys and other ways to participate on shapeSLC, Salt Lake City’s community engagement platform.
