The National Community Survey™ (The NCS™) report is about the “livability” of Sacramento. A livable community is a place that is not simply habitable, but that is desirable. It is not only where people do live, but where they want to live. The survey was developed by the experts from National Research Center at Polco.

Great communities are partnerships of the government, private sector, community-based organizations and residents, all geographically connected. The NCS captures residents’ opinions considering ten central facets of a community:
•
Economy
•
Mobility
•
Community Design
•
Utilities
•
Safety
•
Natural Environment
•
Parks and Recreation
•
Health and Wellness
•
Education, Arts, and Culture
•
Inclusivity and Engagement
Howthe results are reported
For the most part, the percentages presented in the following tabs represent the “percent positive.” Most commonly, the percent positive is the combination of the top two most positive response options (i.e., excellent/good, very safe/somewhat safe, etc.). On many of the questions in the survey respondents may answer “don’t know.” The proportion of respondents giving this reply is shown in the full set of responses included in the tab “Complete data.” However, these responses have been removed from the analyses presented in most of the tabs. In other words, the tables and graphs display the responses from respondents who had an opinion about a specific item.

Comparisons to benchmarks
NRC’s database of comparative resident opinion is comprised of resident perspectives gathered in surveys from over 500 communities whose residents evaluated the same kinds of topics on The National Community Survey.

The national comparison evaluations are from the most recent survey completed in each community in the last five years. NRC adds the latest results quickly upon survey completion, keeping the benchmark data fresh and relevant.

The communities in the database represent a wide geographic and population range. National benchmarks are included in a separate tab in the report.

Sacramento additionally selected to receive benchmark scores from a custom subset of twenty communities in NRC's database that exceed populations of 400,000. These custom comparisons are found throughout the report as well as in their own tab. In each tab, Sacramento's results are noted as being “higher” than the custom benchmark, “lower” than the benchmark, or “similar” to the benchmark, meaning that the average rating given by Sacramento residents is statistically similar to or different (greater or lesser) than the benchmark. Being rated as “higher” or “lower” than the benchmark means that Sacramento's average rating for a particular item was more than 10 points different than the benchmark. If a rating was “much higher” or “much lower,” then Sacramento's average rating was more than 20 points different when compared to the benchmark.

The survey was administered after the COVID-19 pandemic, a time of challenge for many local governments. While we provide comparisons to both national and custom benchmarks, it is important to note that much of the benchmark data was collected prior to or during the pandemic. This may impact how your City's 2023 ratings compare to other communities’ ratings from the past five years.

Trends over time
Trend data for Sacramento represent important comparison data and should be examined for improvements or declines.¹ Deviations from stable trends over time represent opportunities for understanding how local policies, programs, or public information may have affected residents' opinions. Changes between survey years have been noted with an arrow and the percent difference. If the difference is greater than five percentage points between the 2022 and 2023 surveys, the change is statistically significant.

1. In 2020, The NCS survey was updated to include new and refreshed items. Consequently, some of the trends may be impacted due to wording modifications that could have potentially altered the meaning of the item for the respondent.

Great communities are partnerships of the government, private sector, community-based organizations and residents, all geographically connected. The NCS captures residents’ opinions considering ten central facets of a community:
• Economy
• Mobility
• Community Design
• Utilities
• Safety
• Natural Environment
• Parks and Recreation
• Health and Wellness
• Education, Arts, and Culture
• Inclusivity and Engagement

The report provides the opinions of a representative sample of 790 residents of the City of Sacramento collected from October 5, 2023 to November 30, 2023. The margin of error around any reported percentage is 3.5% for all respondents and the response rate for the 2023 survey was 11%. Survey results were weighted so that the demographic profile of respondents was representative of the demographic profile of adults in Sacramento. 2 C o n d u c t i n g t h e s u r v e y

Understood as the ease with which residents can move around their community for leisure or business, the facet of mobility is a key driver of resident satisfaction. All ratings within this facet were similar to comparison communities and most remained in line with 2022 evaluations, but the relatively low overall quality (29% excellent or good) and high importance scores (79% essential or very important) for Sacramento’s transportation system could suggest interest in additional focus on mobility issues. Half of all survey participants gave excellent or good marks to the ease of travel by car; the ease of travel by bicycle and the ease of walking earned similarly positive reviews from about 4 in 10 residents. Evaluations for the traffic flow on major streets and the ease of public parking each garnered favorable ratings from approximately 3 in 10. Roughly 21% offered positive evaluations of the ease of travel by public transportation.

About 4 in 10 respondents rated street lighting, traffic signal timing, sidewalk maintenance, and street cleaning as excellent or good. One-third of city residents were similarly pleased with traffic enforcement and bus or transit services; street repair also garnered favorable reviews by one-quarter of participants.

Ratings for safety services improved in some areas, but overall safety remains a challenge for the City.

Evaluations of emergency preparedness experienced an 11% improvement over the 2022 survey, receiving 46% excellent or good reviews this year. Ambulance or emergency medical services (72%) and fire prevention and education (54%) also increased by 9% and 6%, respectively. About 8 in 10 residents offered positive reviews of fire services, and about half did the same for animal control. Each of these matched the custom benchmarks. In contrast, below-average scores were given for police services (40%) and crime prevention (22%).

Seventy-eight percent of residents stated they felt very safe or somewhat safe in their neighborhood during the day, on par with other large cities. Feelings of safety from fire, flood, and other natural disaster garnered positive reviews by about two-thirds of residents, similar to the benchmark. When asked about the overall feeling of safety in Sacramento, however, fewer than one-third of participants said the same about their overall feeling of safety in the city, below the benchmarks. Half of survey participants felt safe in Sacramento’s downtown/commercial area and from violent crime, and about 4 in 10 participants stated they felt safe from property crime; all of these scores fell below comparison communities. Each of these scores remained stable from the 2022 iteration of the survey.

Residents point to investments in affordable housing and community well-being as the top priorities for Measure U funds.

In this survey iteration, the City asked residents to prioritize potential uses for funds generated by the Measure U sales tax passed in 2018. About 85% of respondents stated affordable housing/homeless supportive services and community-based mental health and wellness were both of high or medium priority. Nearly 8 in 10 provided similar marks for community response services and public safety services. About 7 in 10 residents prioritized community investment and neighborhood empowerment, infrastructure/capital improvements, public libraries, public parks, senior programs, street maintenance, transportation, and youth programs. 6 F a c e t s o f l i v a b i l i t y

Comparison of Responses by Respondent Characteristics (Age) The comparison tables contain the cross tabulations of selected survey questions by respondent characteristics.

Responses have been summarized to show only the proportion of respondents giving a positive answer; for example, the percent of respondents who rated the quality of life as excellent or good. For each pair of subgroups that has a statistically significant difference, an upper-case letter denoting significance is shown in the category with the larger column proportion.

The letter denotes the category with the smaller column proportion from which it is statistically different. The values for these differences between subgroups are organized by characteristic in the dropdown menu of the "Statistical Significance" tab. Ratings that have no upper-case letter denotation in their column and that are also not referred to in any other column were not statistically different from each other.

Comparison of Responses by Respondent Characteristics (Sex) The comparison tables contain the cross tabulations of selected survey questions by respondent characteristics. Responses have been summarized to show only the proportion of respondents giving a positive answer; for example, the percent of respondents who rated the quality of life as excellent or good. For each pair of subgroups that has a statistically significant difference, an upper-case letter denoting significance is shown in the category with the larger column proportion. The letter denotes the category with the smaller column proportion from which it is statistically different. The values for these differences between subgroups are organized by characteristic in the dropdown menu of the "Statistical Significance" tab. Ratings that have no upper-case letter denotation in their column and that are also not referred to in any other column were not statistically different from each other.

Comparison of Responses by Respondent Characteristics
(Race/Ethnicity)
The comparison tables contain the cross tabulations of selected survey questions by respondent characteristics. Responses have been summarized to show only the proportion of respondents giving a positive answer; for example, the percent of respondents who rated the quality of life as excellent or good. For each pair of subgroups that has a statistically significant difference, an upper-case letter denoting significance is shown in the category with the larger column proportion. The letter denotes the category with the smaller column proportion from which it is statistically different. The values for these differences between subgroups are organized by characteristic in the dropdown menu of the "Statistical Significance" tab. Ratings that have no upper-case letter denotation in their column and that are also not referred to in any other column were not statistically different from each other.

Comparison of Responses by Respondent Characteristics
(Housing type)
The comparison tables contain the cross tabulations of selected survey questions by respondent characteristics. Responses have been summarized to show only the proportion of respondents giving a positive answer; for example, the percent of respondents who rated the quality of life as excellent or good. For each pair of subgroups that has a statistically significant difference, an upper-case letter denoting significance is shown in the category with the larger column proportion. The letter denotes the category with the smaller column proportion from which it is statistically different. The values for these differences between subgroups are organized by characteristic in the dropdown menu of the "Statistical Significance" tab. Ratings that have no upper-case letter denotation in their column and that are also not referred to in any other column were not statistically different from each other.

Responses have been summarized to show only the proportion of respondents giving a positive answer; for example, the percent of respondents who rated the quality of life as excellent or good. For each pair of subgroups that has a statistically significant difference, an upper-case letter denoting significance is shown in the category with the larger column proportion. The letter denotes the category with the smaller column proportion from which it is statistically different. The values for these differences between subgroups are organized by characteristic in the dropdown menu of the "Statistical Significance" tab.

Comparison of Responses by Respondent Characteristics
(Presence of older adults)
The comparison tables contain the cross tabulations of selected survey questions by respondent characteristics. Responses have been summarized to show only the proportion of respondents giving a positive answer; for example, the percent of respondents who rated the quality of life as excellent or good. For each pair of subgroups that has a statistically significant difference, an upper-case letter denoting significance is shown in the category with the larger column proportion. The letter denotes the category with the smaller column proportion from which it is statistically different. The values for these differences between subgroups are organized by characteristic in the dropdown menu of the "Statistical Significance" tab. Ratings that have no upper-case letter denotation in their column and that are also not referred to in any other column were not statistically different from each other.

Comparison of Responses by Respondent Characteristics (Income) The comparison tables contain the cross tabulations of selected survey questions by respondent characteristics. Responses have been summarized to show only the proportion of respondents giving a positive answer; for example, the percent of respondents who rated the quality of life as excellent or good. For each pair of subgroups that has a statistically significant difference, an upper-case letter denoting significance is shown in the category with the larger column proportion. The letter denotes the category with the smaller column proportion from which it is statistically different. The values for these differences between subgroups are organized by characteristic in the dropdown menu of the "Statistical Significance" tab. Ratings that have no upper-case letter denotation in their column and that are also not referred to in any other column were not statistically different from each other. 310

Open Participation Survey Results
This dashboard contains a complete set of responses to each question on the open participation survey. By default, "don't know" responses are excluded. In some tables, the percentages may not sum to 100%; this is either because the question permitted the respondent to "choose all that apply", or for a question that asked the respondent to select one answer, it is due to the customary practice of rounding values to the nearest whole number. Listed below the percentage for each rating is the number of respondents that selected the respective answer choice.
