Lucas County Community Satisfaction Survey
The UAC Survey Research Lab conducted a survey of just over 2000 Lucas County residents to gain information about issues and challenges facing Lucas County residents and to determine their level of satisfaction with a variety of public services. The results of this survey can be used by local government and non-profits for program development and can provide guidance to local jurisdictions as they are faced with setting budget priorities and making decisions about the services they provide to their constituents.
