The City of Bloomington contracted with National Research Center, Inc. to conduct the 2017 Bloomington Community Survey. This was the first time a scientific citywide survey had been completed covering resident opinions on service delivery satisfaction by the City of Bloomington and quality of life issues.

An additional 1,435 residents completed an opt-in survey online.

The City of Bloomington contracted with National Research Center, Inc. to conduct the 2019 Bloomington Community Survey. This was the second time a scientific citywide survey had been completed covering resident opinions on service delivery satisfaction by the City of Bloomington and quality of life issues. The first was in 2017. The survey captured the responses of 610 households from a representative sample of 3,000 residents of Bloomington who were randomly selected to complete the survey. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: The scientific survey data were weighted, meaning that the demographic profile of respondents was compared to the demographic profile of adults in Bloomington from US Census data. Statistical adjustments were made to bring the respondent profile into balance with the population profile. This means that some records were given more "weight" and some records were given less weight. The weights that were applied are found in the field "wt". If you do not apply these weights, you will not obtain the same results as can be found in the report delivered to the City of Bloomington. The easiest way to replicate these results is likely to create pivot tables, and use the sum of the "wt" field rather than a count of responses.

The City of Bloomington contracted with a firm to conduct a citywide survey of street pavement conditions. As part of this effort, real-time conditions regarding the City of Bloomington's approximately 15,000 street signs were also collected during the late fall of 2017. This was done through field inspections utilizing the use of Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology. LIDAR is much more time efficient than visual data collection, allows for real-time data collection and provides more uniform and accurate reporting.
