Park City’s 2025 National Community Survey Results Now Available 

Park City received the results of the 2025 National Community Survey (NCS), a community-wide assessment of key service areas including safety, economy, mobility, governance, and environmental quality. 

The NCS, conducted in partnership with Polco/National Research Center, is part of Park City’s long-term commitment to performance measurement and benchmarking. This year’s data is based on a statistically valid sample of 295 households in the 84060 ZIP code, with an additional 404 responses collected through an online opt-in survey. 

Key takeaways from the 2025 NCS include: 

• Continued high marks for public safety, transit, parks, trails, and recreation, and environmental stewardship. 
• Sustained concern over traffic congestion, housing affordability, and growth.
• New concerns in perceptions of governance, mirroring a national trend in post-pandemic civic trust.

“Park City remains a place where people feel safe, connected to nature, and proud and protective of their quality of life,” said Mayor Nann Worel. “At the same time, we recognize that people all across the nation feel distant from government, and our results reflect national trends. I remain committed – as your Mayor – to building trust, improving transparency, and showing up for this community in meaningful ways and having difficult conversations with civility, trust, and patience.” 

Residents gave high marks to Park City’s transit, biking, walking, and carpooling options – highlighting the strength of our Transportation team. Recreation and Parks outperformed national benchmarks, and Trails and Open Space earned strong ratings for access, preservation, and helping maintain the community's natural beauty. The Park City Library received a near-unanimous 98% positive rating, Police earned 88%, and the City as a whole was recognized for excellent customer service, also at 88%.  

The City uses NCS survey results to help guide customer service, planning, budget decisions, and infrastructure improvements. The full report is available here.
