Community survey analysis with a written summary

The situation

The city ran a community survey on city services, parks, downtown and next year's budget priorities. About 1,300 responses came in online and on paper. Staff had the raw export but no time to clean it, analyze it or write it up for council.

What was built

Each opinion question is shown by neighborhood, age and whether residents own or rent, with margins of error stated. Written comments are coded into 13 themes, plus Other, with counts and example quotes. A summary for council prints on Letter paper. Every removed response is traced and the weighting is explained.

The result

1,318 raw responses cleaned to 1,220, weighted to the city and summarized for council.

What the client received

A results site, a two-page council summary, a method note and the cleaned response file.
