2025 Community Survey - Findings Report

2025 Battle Ground Community Survey

In January 2025, the City launched a scientific survey to measure resident opinions on a variety of City services, programs, and projects, as well identify potential priorities and provide the City Council with valuable data to consider when making future budgetary decisions.

A 5-page survey was mailed to a random sample of homes in Battle Ground to provide insights that will be used to help the City improve existing programs and to better determine the future needs of our community.
