Survey Data
In the Community Attitudes Survey and the National Citizen Survey, 98 percent of respondents said Dublin is an excellent or good place to live. In addition, 94 percent consider Dublin an excellent or good place to work. Our surveys are designed to gauge residents’ perceptions of our community and local government. The City uses the data in guiding policy decisions to enhance our quality of life and continue high-quality service delivery.
In the 2013 survey, half the community (48%) considers the Bridge Street District a “high priority” for the City of Dublin.
Interest in this initiative is strongest in high-income households (58%), among residents younger than 35 (56%), and in Ward 1 (56%). Only one resident in eight (13%) considers the BSD a low priority.
Nearly four residents in ten (37%) ranked the Bridge Street District among the top two priorities among the nine items tested.
Only one of the nine – improving the flow of traffic on the city’s streets and roads – received a similar ranking by more residents (45%).
