The 2019 Sangamon County Citizen Survey

The Sangamon County Citizen Survey is a collaborative effort between the UIS Center for State Policy & Leadership, the Community Foundation for the Land of Lincoln, and the United Way of Central Illinois. The project’s purpose is to establish benchmarks and assess changes in residents’ assessments of the quality of life in Sangamon County. The periodic survey provides local leaders, community organizations, and citizens with longitudinal insight into issues facing local residents. Each survey includes core items that serve as barometers of public opinion as well as topic-specific items that will provide timely data for local leaders. The following areas are covered in the 2019 survey: social well-being, day to day life, population, legal changes, equality, success, the economy, civic engagement, leadership, personal health, social health, the environment, and culture/recreation.
